I found [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3AGlobal_cooling/qblpaper this] via Google for "CRE driven ozone depletion".

== As for the other thing (Kenai Peninsula Borough) ==

I've been suspicious of this whole "unincorporated community" thing.  In the case of Alaska, it seems like most of them are sourced strictly from GNIS entries.  Most of those entries were in turn sourced from ''Dictionary of Alaska Place Names'' and have been seldom updated since that work was published in 1967.  A lot of places in Alaska dubbed "unincorporated communities" are actually within the boundaries of a city or CDP.  [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Miller Landing, Alaska|We went through an AFD for Miller Landing]], which was originally a CDP but has since been annexed into the corporate limits of Homer.  As for the unincorporated communities listed in the KPB article, Jakolof Bay (along with Portlock) were classified as CDPs in the 1980 Census (not sure about 1990).  The remainder are within the Fox River CDP boundaries.[[User:RadioKAOS|RadioKAOS]] ([[User talk:RadioKAOS|talk]]) 02:42, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
:Oh yeah: all of this doesn't even include the fact that a CDP is by definition an unincorporated community, but for some strange reason we seem to keep the two separate.[[User:RadioKAOS|RadioKAOS]] ([[User talk:RadioKAOS|talk]]) 02:45, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

:: I will be embarking on a relevant project and will be documenting this and keeping it up to date. Do you know if anybody in wikipedialand already has a relevant project on this? [[User:TMLutas|TMLutas]] ([[User talk:TMLutas#top|talk]]) 18:18, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
:::Not sure.  There is [[WP:CITIES]], which appears to be active, but not necessarily that focused on the United States.  There is also [[WP:COUNTY]], which isn't really all that active.  Additionally, [[WP:2010USC]], borne out of a [[Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Archive 20#2010 US Census|village pump discussion]], but about as similarly active as the county project.
:::Also, going through the census data brought something else to mind.  I'm not sure if this is specific to Alaska (as footnotes of various reports indicate that the Director of the Census used his discretionary powers to make exceptions for Alaska, given its sparse settlement, and probably also owing to the technology of the day) or also pertains to other states as well, but the term "census-designated place" only came into use starting with the 1980 Census.  Before that, these same communities were referred to as "unincorporated communities" for several prior censuses.  Before that, they were referred to as "villages."  From the looks of it, only 1990 through 2010 data is online.  I've already spent enough time pointing out how a lack of proper historical perspective leads to potential historical revisionism.  For example, historical references to "cities" in Alaska, when contemporary sources indicate that during the first half of the 20th century, these communities were legally incorporated and referred to as "towns" rather than "cities."[[User:RadioKAOS|RadioKAOS]] ([[User talk:RadioKAOS|talk]]) 22:25, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

'''Contest of the month'''<br>
No particular contest this month. I am however getting rather close to getting together a more or less complete set of articles relating to different areas of Christianity which can be found in recent reference sources on the broad topic of Christianity, and about various subtopics, which I hope to have finished in the next few weeks. I wonder what the rest of you might think of, maybe, making the contests of future months be basically directed at filling in the gaps of our existing coverage of topics, like those topics given significant coverage in specialized reference works which we don't yet have content on, and giving the thanks, and rewards, whatever they might be, to those who create and develop such content. I am starting a discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:Christianity noticeboard#Future contests]], and would very much welcome any input from interested parties in how to set it up, determine winners including how many winners, etc.

'''Spotlight'''<br>
[[File:Christ icon.jpg|left|100px]] 
The Spotlight this month turns to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Syriac Christianity work group|the Syriac Christianity work group]]. The scope of this project includes the various traditions of [[Syriac Christianity]], including the [[Assyrian Church of the East]], [[Ancient Church of the East]], [[Church of the East]], [[Syriac Orthodox Church]], [[Chaldean Catholic Church]], [[Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church]], [[Melkite Greek Catholic Church]], [[Syriac Catholic Church]], [[Syro-Malankara Catholic Church]], and [[Saint Thomas Christians]]. One of these groups, the Assyrian Church of the East, is considered by scholars to have probably been, for several hundred years, the largest Christian grouping in the planet, with its numerous members in [[Central Asia]] and [[Eastern Asia]]. Numerous texts, traditions, and practices unique to these groups exist, including the [[Jesus Sutras]] and the belief of the Assyrian Church of the East that the bread they use in the preparation of their Eucharist uses the same basic yeast as that used in the bread of the [[Last Supper]] itself. Sadly, given the linguistic barriers to much of the content relative to these groups, and the comparative lack of notoriety they have in the Western world, much of this content does receive less attenion, and thus less development, than much other content. There is a large amount of extremely valuable historical material here still waiting to be adequately developed by editors with an interest in the topic, and I personally very much hope that we can draw more attention to these topics, and the content related to them.

== Page blanking ==

Please do not blank school district redirects as you have been for the last day or so. If you believe a redirect is inappropriate, the correct place to deal with it is at [[WP:RFD|Redirects for Deletion]]. Leaving a [[WP:BLANK|blank page]] is not something we support. [[User:InShaneee|InShaneee]] ([[User talk:InShaneee|talk]]) 09:50, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
:I think if you could at least throw in a one line description ("X is a school district in State Y") and a stub template so the page is a little easier to find, that'd be a start, though if you do have enough info to toss up an infobox, that'd be nice as well. [[User:InShaneee|InShaneee]] ([[User talk:InShaneee|talk]]) 01:20, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
:*The appropriate action here would actually be to ''correct'' the redirection, rather than blank the page or delete the redirect altogether. If you find that the page is redirected to the wrong article... replace it with the accurate one. Redirect a non-notable school to (first) the school district. If an article for the school district does not exist, the second option is to redirect the article to the city, county, or other geographical entity.

== About your articles on Schools ==

Hi TMLutes, Recently I found around 10-11 articles that to have created on schools which are all unfortunately one liners and are very meagrely referenced... Would it be possible if I deleted all these the para and ou Crete a common page r would u plz expand your articles, as much as possible! Thanks [[User:Ajayupai95|Ajayupai95]] ([[User talk:Ajayupai95|talk]]) 06:53, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
*I second that. "Mt Ida Sch Dist 20 is a school district in Montgomery County, AR" is not what I would call an article, not even a stub. Please also avoid this US-centrism, WP is international in scope and some of our readers might not immediately see what "AR" means. Finally, please don't add redlinked categories. AS [[WP:CAT]] says: "An article should never be left with a non-existent (redlinked) category on it. Either the category should be created, or else the link should be removed or changed to a category that does exist". Thanks. --[[User:Randykitty|Randykitty]] ([[User talk:Randykitty|talk]]) 14:48, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
:*PS: Just to clarify, because I went a bit fast above: I second the criticism of Ajayupai95, but certainly don't agree with mass-deletion. School districts are considered inherently notable, as far as I know, so I doubt that anybody could get this through an AfD. This does not take away, though, my other criticisms and strongly disagree with your comments about your "production" being hampered. We're not on a deadline here and if speed is the only cost, that is not too expensive for a job well-done instead of half done. --[[User:Randykitty|Randykitty]] ([[User talk:Randykitty|talk]]) 12:29, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

::Thank you, again, for clarifying. The whole "mass delete" idea really is my big beef and I'm glad I was mistaken on the subject in your case. As you can see above, my first feed back was not only a deletion assertion but a speedy deletion. That kind of set the tone. 

::I think that your criticism would have a great deal more validity to it if I were planning a one pass through operation. The purpose of this pass is mostly to fix a destination for the data. Once a page exists, in whatever form, then I can incorporate structured data much more quickly. Let's say I get a listing of all school board members for all school districts in the US (it might exist). I import the list into the database and update the skeleton to incorporate the data. Then I get the data from each of the wikipedia pages and the computer does a comparison. If the data is the same or substantially the same, the new skeleton overwrites the old. If a different curator has shown up, the new data goes to the talk page, and if I can figure out how, a note goes in their talk pages in automated fashion along with a link letting them not get further updates. None of it works without having a known destination page, again which is what my current goal is at this point. There is an unfortunate preexisting tendency to make a bad connection to a high school page instead leaving the redlinked district alone. By putting up a skeleton, I fix that. Do you have a better way? [[User:TMLutas|TMLutas]] ([[User talk:TMLutas#top|talk]]) 19:42, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

I've done individual notes to the complainers so far and as it is likely that some of the hundreds of skeletons yet to come will draw further attention, I thought I'd note my response here. I am working off the US Census Bureau's 2012 census of governments (preliminary results). I don't *have* more information, other than the mailing address, which usually isn't included in more developed school pages so I didn't include it in my skeleton. The subject of the page is clear. The source is usually documented in the initial comments, a link to the district website is included where available. I've even included an auto-generated category link so they're not even uncategorized. This is as complete a skeleton as I can make given the information and time constraints I have. If you have a specific suggestion to improve the skeleton language that I can easily fit in to the database field that auto-calculates the skeleton, feel free to suggest it. I'm all ears. If you want to provide me with an extensive work schedule so that my skeleton passes your personal, higher standards that exceed Wikipedia community norms, please do not bother. You can make those additions on your own time. Mass deletions will be considered vandalism and reported as such. [[User:TMLutas|TMLutas]] ([[User talk:TMLutas#top|talk]]) 15:39, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

I'd advise against short stubs on schools and school districts. They come across as overly generic and are rarely expanded. Perhaps concentrate on producing some fleshier stubs/start class articles with good sources? If you speak Romanian I could create a list of really wanted articles needing translation from Romanian wikipedia, although I believe it has been advised against as its poor quality, but I could find you some notable missing subjects at least. [[List of Romanian politicians]] might interest you for expansion for instance.♦ [[User talk:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#000">Dr. ☠ Blofeld</span>]] 12:03, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
: Since I will be revisiting all of these as the database expands and adding information, I am not particularly concerned regarding the idea that these stubs will remain orphaned and lonely without attention. The Wikipedia portion of the project is actually rather minor and done as an add on to my project ([http://www.citizenintelligence.org which you can find here]). Those stubs that remain unexpanded will be auto-updated as the project database (and later data warehouse) adds data fields. Those stubs that acquire their own curators will have subsequent relevant project data dumped into their talk page along with sourcing and sample usage. I have hoped that an early established part of the routine of my project would be to share the wealth, establish stubs, and create a methodology for taking structured data and sharing it in this (and other) semi-structured projects in an automated fashion. That's led to the compromise I've chosen. While I might be interested in a personal way regarding Romanian politicians, eastern catholic topics, and science vs scientism, I'm unlikely to get what I hope will be a firehose of volunteer contributions for these other topics. Wish me luck, I'm going on my first recruiting expedition this saturday. [[User:TMLutas|TMLutas]] ([[User talk:TMLutas#top|talk]]) 19:10, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

To all / whom it may concern: I, too, share the concern over the many one-liner articles with bad abbreviations, etc. I am a very active editor for Arkansas schools and school districts and have created (likely) 100 plus articles. As an example, I just modified the [[Carlisle School District (Arkansas)]] article to include an infobox school district and content.  While I can't promise a speedy upgrade to these articles, I will be tending to them in time.

*I've just found a handful of these school district stubs while stub-sorting. Could I suggest that you tweak your database system so that (looking at [[Bonny Doon Union Elementary School District]] as an example) (a) instead of "based in Santa Cruz County, CA, [[United States]] ", you add "based in [[Santa Cruz County, California]], [[United States]]."  - ie spell out California, link the county, and add the final full stop, and (b) you add {{tl|California-school-stub}} rather than {{tl|stub}}, which presumably you could do algorithmically and which would save other editors' time.

::Ah, I've just looked at your latest, [[Delano Joint Union High School District]], and am delighted to see you're already sorting the stub. Thanks for that - explains why I haven't seen an enormous deluge of these at [[:Category:Stubs]] for sorting, just the three I found just now. But the expanding "CA" to "California" and linking the county would still be helpful.  If any counties then show as red links I guess they'd be alternative spellings needing redirects, or something like that, unless there are gaps in coverage of California counties.

:In case you didn't know, every single school district in the US is in at least one list. Many of them are in multiple lists so your AfD suggestion that they be put in lists instead is a bit impractical. I have generally reacted positively to suggestions that would improve the article. My reaction to your suggestion that I go play elsewhere was, well, perhaps not my best moment. The idea of inducing me to go edit elsewhere as if that solves something certainly was not yours. Since I've seen dozens of other education stubs with the same or even less information in them, perhaps you'd like to run your swathe of deletions across those too, for consistency. Or is this a personal matter for you at present and you're not actually looking for too short stubs, but rather looking for *my* stubs?

I can't understand your thinking, it would be different if they were all full articles on another wikipedia which need translation but they're really going nowhere. At the very least they should have 1 or 2 sourced facts.If you're going to create the type of articles which nobody develops then you should try to make sure they're half decent upon creation.

I've added your other corrections and am currently working on detecting the stubs I've already made and overwriting them with the improved stub template. I'm also integrating in the NCES numbers that somebody else mentioned would be helpful and that adds another set of inconsistent names (which the infobox template even recognizes and says just include it anyway).

I'm just trying to beat out the mistakes I can find and at least fix a proper destination page because there have been large chunks of links that are simply wrong, district links pointing to individual schools in some cases, district red links in others and sometimes the district points to a district page which is a redirect to a member school.

The experiment was a qualified success with several editors pointing me to new data sources and improving the template and then there's your effort to kill all the pages put out thus far, which makes the whole effort more difficult. So far as I can tell you have, a priori, decided that I am going to abandon this and the improvements aren't going to happen.

== Proper citations in school district articles, and so on ==

Hello,

There are lots of ways to create citations which are generally accepted here. I think that it is pretty well established that whoever creates an article gets to choose the citation style, as long as it is a reasonable and accepted style. I suppose that I would be inclined to use <nowiki>{{cite web}}</nowiki>, but maybe there is a better choice. The important thing is that the articles should have a reference to an independent source. There also seem to be consistent problems in your stubs with abbreviations, such as Jt for Joint, Sch for School, Dist for District, Elem for Elementary, Unif for Unified, and so on. This is the type of thing that really bugs other editors, as does the lack of periods at the end of sentences. Can't you do some programming that would expand these irritating abbreviations?

There is no reason why you shouldn't work on trying to improve these articles during the AfD process, especially since it seems clear that there is no consensus for mass deletion. As a matter of fact, any progress that you could make towards improvement of the articles would probably ensure that they are kept. I hope my observations are helpful to you.

:As I've said previously, I am working on the project, just off wiki. I'm both changing the script and continuing to process districts. You might be happy to read that I just looked up and added a basic "citeweb" reference to the template to cover the Census. The NCES stuff has a non-functional citation in it that is going to have to wait for me to figure out how to match the Census, Wikipedia, and NCES names. The method I have is currently not getting enough good matches. 
:I've just landed a small paying gig which might slow me down a bit but this is not something that I will be dropping. [[User:TMLutas|TMLutas]] ([[User talk:TMLutas#top|talk]]) 03:59, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Articles have been kept as non consensus to delete. So good luck with the cleanup. But if I see you generating further flawed stubs without correcting your initial errors I'll be raising my voice.♦ [[User talk:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#000">Dr. ☠ Blofeld</span>]] 16:35, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
: The schedule is to fix the template and run the whole thing alphabetically. The flawed templates get fixed and then new articles get done right after. I'm currently running through New York right now and have a bit less than 5k districts left to go. I think I'll do a mini run of A-California which should mostly hit old districts. Would you prefer for me to wait until I get the NCES infobox stuff incorporated or make a run as soon as I get the automation working? [[User:TMLutas|TMLutas]] ([[User talk:TMLutas#top|talk]]) 17:24, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

:: [[User:TMLutas|TMLutas]] : Not sure if this will help you with the name differences in the various resources. That said, you should take a look at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:NCES_District_ID http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:NCES_District_ID] - I use this in every school district article I create or modify.  I can tell you from experience that states enter data into the NCES CCD differently. One additional resource you may wish to use is:  [http://www.data.gov/education/page/education-developers http://www.data.gov/education/page/education-developers] and [http://www.ed.gov/developers http://www.ed.gov/developers]  (PS: Every federal agency must/should have an [http://www.<agencyname>.gov/developers http://www.<agencyname>.gov/developers] webpage.  I know (this is my dayjob)! by the way. 

For example about the differences in NCES Search for School Districts: 

* Arkansas school districts are usually "well-formed" and are "<Name> School District" unless the name is really long and then it is <Name> CO. School DIST." when it is <Name of County> CO. School DIST.

* Minnesota school districts are usually semi-well formed and are nearly always "<Name> School DIST. where "DIST." is never spelled out as District

*  Other states like Illinois used "CUSD" for Consolidated Unit School District or simply and ONLY list the name of the district and remove the word(s) "School District" in the name.  Others will place "EL" for "Elementary School District".  

* Related to categories.  Not all states have "Category:School districts in <County Name>, <State>" but rather use "Category:Education in <County Name>, <State>" entries to include School Districts, Colleges, Universities and so on.  In Arkansas, school districts often cross the boundary of a county even when the name of the school district is <County Name> County School District, it does not mean it's equal to the boundaries of the county.  That said, Maryland is a state whereby the ONLY school districts that exist are basically.

While I may applaud you in your attempts to "code" these, I'm not sure it's worth it. But I've already said that. 01:21, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

: It's not worth it in terms of Wikipedia. But for me, Wikipedia coding is a small piece of a larger project and one I can afford to test bed ideas on. I've gone though a bit over 7000 school district name reviews and have exactly five thousand school districts left. This morning I had a bit over 10,000 and had stupidly thought that I had gotten most of the big abbreviations out of the way. Hah! I still am pondering whether to expand Ft and Mt and for the latter whether it should be Mount or Mountain as the same abbreviation seems to be used for both without much rhyme or reason. The larger project is a form of middleware for government information in general, starting with the US and expanding out to anywhere I won't get shot for compiling the info (North Korea is an early choice for exclusion right now). Pulling information from various sources and being able to spit it out in form letter type reports is a core functionality. The functionality to do it cooperatively and in a non-permissive environment are both going to have to be developed. Thanks for playing a part in improving this section of [http://www.citizenintelligence Citizen Intelligence] and improving wikipedia at the same time.

== school district progress report ==

Out of 12884 school districts labeled as governments by the US Census Bureau, I've internally tagged and labeled all but 4077. I'm running through Ohio at this point. The project continues. [[User:TMLutas|TMLutas]] ([[User talk:TMLutas#top|talk]]) 15:26, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

== Are you aware... ==

Hello! Are you aware of the existence of this page: [[User:TMLutas/School district]]? I only stumbled across it because there is a redirect to it from [[User:MelanieN/School district]]. I didn't create the redirect page; it and the one with your name on it were both created by Dr. Blofeld. I stumbled across the one with my name on it and am working to have it deleted. If this is something you are working on sandbox-style, then never mind, but if not you might want to get rid of it. --[[User:MelanieN|MelanieN]] ([[User talk:MelanieN|talk]]) 23:04, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
:The last time I attempted to mess with Dr. Blofeld in any way, I ended up with a highly distracting mass AfD. I am inclined to let sleeping dogs lie. I continue to further my database and have matched approximately 10k of 12k school districts to their NCES numbers. When the database is  up to snuff, I will be going through and updating my previous run and completing the task of creating a district page for all school districts in the US that the US census bureau considers separate governments. That is my current wikipedia focus. [[User:TMLutas|TMLutas]] ([[User talk:TMLutas#top|talk]]) 01:12, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
::OK, thanks. Just so you know, I continue to use that mass AfD as a convenient list of school district stubs, and I am gradually expanding the California ones. --[[User:MelanieN|MelanieN]] ([[User talk:MelanieN|talk]]) 17:19, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

The parent Christianity WikiProject currently has 357 active members. We would like to welcome our newest members, [[User:Thomas Cranmer|Thomas Cranmer]], [[User:Mr.Oglesby|Mr.Oglesby]], and [[User:Stylistica|Sneha Priscilla]]. Thank you all for your interest in this effort. We would be able to achieve nothing here without the input of all of you. If any members, new or not, wish any assistance, they should feel free to leave a message at the [[WT:X|Christianity noticeboard]] or with me or other individual editors to request it. 


'''From the Editor'''<br>

We apologise for the hiatus in the publication of this newsletter due to unforseen circumstances leading to the wikibreak of [[User:John Carter|John Carter]], and so [[User:Gilderien|I]] have taken over as acting editor, and have taken this opportunity to move the publication date to the start of each month as planned, to better reflect on the previous month and look ahead to the next. This issue covers the period of time from mid-January to the end of March.

Since the last issue we have seen the resignation of [[Pope Benedict XVI]] and the election of [[Pope Francis]]. This has received much coverage both in the world media and on Wikipedia. While there is still much work to do, several quality articles have been written and the editors involved are thanked for their efforts.


This month we look ahead to Easter and the celebration of God's love for mankind through the crucifixion and resurrection of his Son Jesus Christ. With that, I wish you all happy reading!

P.S. Please [{{fullurl:Wikipedia talk:Christianity noticeboard|action=watch}} click here] to add the new [[WT:X|Christianity noticeboard]] to your watchlist to follow the latest discussions relevant to WikiProject Christianity and subprojects.

'''Contest of the month'''<br>
No particular contest this month. I am however getting rather close to getting together a more or less complete set of articles relating to different areas of Christianity which can be found in recent reference sources on the broad topic of Christianity, and about various subtopics, which I hope to have finished in the next few weeks. I wonder what the rest of you might think of, maybe, making the contests of future months be basically directed at filling in the gaps of our existing coverage of topics, like those topics given significant coverage in specialized reference works which we don't yet have content on, and giving the thanks, and rewards, whatever they might be, to those who create and develop such content. I am starting a discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:Christianity noticeboard#Future contests]], and would very much welcome any input from interested parties in how to set it up, determine winners including how many winners, etc.

'''Spotlight'''<br>

The Spotlight this month turns to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Jesus work group|the Jesus work group]]. The scope of this project includes the life and teachings of the central figure of Christianity, [[Jesus Christ]] and aims to write about them in a non-denominational encylopædic style. Top-priority articles include [[Jesus]], [[Christ]], [[Resurrection of Jesus]], and [[Holy Grail]], whereas High-priority articles include [[Aramaic Language]], a former FA, as well as [[Sermon on the Mount]], [[Lamb of God]], and [[Passion (Christianity)]]. The workgroup has also published two books, covering [[Book:Christ's Final Days |Christ's final days]] and the [[Book:Parables of Jesus|Parables of Jesus]]. The workgroup has two GAs, [[Nativity scene]], and [[Jesus in Islam]], but unfortunately the flagship article, [[Jesus]] was delisted in 2009. It is also responsible for three [[WP:1.0]] articles, and the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2013-02-25/WikiProject_report|WikiWork]] of the project is 4.56, which indicates the "average" article is between Start and C class.

This month we hear the news that the Bible is to be made into a film after outstanding success of a biblical miniseries on the History Channel, and we have seen the release of Iraqi Pastor Ali Hamzah from his confinement in Iraq.

After last month's spotlight on the [[Jesus]] work group, the flagship article, [[Jesus]], was nominated for Good Article status after much work from [[User:FutureTrillionaire|FutureTrillionaire]] and [[User:History2007|History2007]], and provisionally passed by the reviewer, although they have requested a second opinion. Our many thanks for the hard work that has gone into restoring this article to a quality piece of work.

This month the second largest denomination of Christianity, the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]], celebrates Easter and the death and resurrection of the Son of God Jesus Christ.

SPOTLIGHT

This month, we turn our attention to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Encyclopedic articles|Encyclopedic articles]] sub-group, which aims to provide  "a collection point for lists of articles contained in other reference sources relating to Christianity, which could serve as a basis for developing our own content". Created by John Carter, it is primarily a list of links, red or otherwise, for subjects which have an article in the reference works listed therein. This serves as a very useful list if any project members are "stuck for what to do" and there remains lots of potential for articles developed from this list.

'''From the Editor'''<br>
[[File:ბუმბული.png|left|50px]]Since its formation in 2006, WikiProject Christianity has come a long way. A significant number of new articles have appeared on a wide range of topics, and the quality of some key articles has seen dramatic improvement. Yet, by the very nature of the open, [[crowd-sourced]] development environment in which we operate, as the number of pages in the project has increased at times our attention has been naturally diluted. We should of course strive for quality everywhere, but we should remember that this newsletter is called [[Ichthys|Ichthus]].

Starting this month we will start a "Focus on" series, where we will try to "bring Jesus back" and focus on him. For five consecutive issues we will focus on one aspect of the study of Jesus. The goal of this series is to inform our members of what the project contains and highlight those articles which have reached quality and stability. 

From this month until November we will focus on the historical Jesus, a topic which has been the subject of much discussion on article talk pages, as well as the general media. This is an important topic, and we have a good set of well referenced articles on that now. Then, starting in December we will focus on Christ, and the spiritual and theological elements that the title entails. Following that the review of the life and ministry of Jesus in the New Testament, his miracles, and parables will take place. And each month the "Bookshelf" will mention a book that fits the theme of the month.

We hope you will enjoy this journey as we present a new aspect of Jesus each month. And given that as the number of project pages increases, the ratio of those watching the pages declines, we hope that more of you will watch some of these central pages that help define this project.


'''Church of the month'''<br>
[[File:Church of All Saints, Winthorpe - geograph.org.uk - 1117642.jpg|150px|center]]
The current building of [[All Saints' Church, Winthorpe]] in [[Nottinghamshire]], England which was completed in 1888, is at least the third version of the church, which dates back to at least the early 13th century.


'''Good articles and DYKs'''<br>
The article [[Jesus]] received the [[WP:GA|good article]] mark last month, as did [[Cleeve Abbey]]. A number of churches were featured on the main page in the [[WP:DYK|DYK]] section in May, namely [[St. Lamberti, Hildesheim]], [[Karja church]], [[Braaby Church]], [[St Patrick's Church, Liverpool|St Patrick's Liverpool]], [[Vlah Church]], [[Freerslev Church]], [[Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, Mata-Utu]], [[St. Michael's Cathedral (Sitka, Alaska)]], [[St. Lamberti, Hildesheim]], [[Karja church]], [[Braaby Church]], [[St. Pierre Cathedral, Saint-Pierre]], [[Mont Saint Michel Abbey]], [[St Patrick's Church, Liverpool]], [[Vlah Church]], [[St Catherine of Siena Church, Cocking]], [[Catedral Nuestra Señora de La Asunción]], [[Roholte Church]], [[Notre Dame Cathedral, Taiohae]], [[Leicester Abbey]], [[Caracas Cathedral]], [[Caldey Abbey]], [[King's Mead Priory]], [[Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Hong Kong)]] and[[All Saints' Church, Winthorpe]], as well as the hymn [[What Wondrous Love Is This]].

{{clear|left}}
Did Jesus exist? Did he walk the streets of Jerusalem? The '''[[Historicity of Jesus]]''' article answers these questions with a firm affirmative. Historicity does not discuss if Jesus walked on water, but if he walked at all. The issue was the subject of scholarly debate before the end of last century, but the academic debate is almost over now. As the article discusses, virtually all academic opposition to the existence of Jesus has evaporated away now and scholars see it as a concluded issue. The discussion is now just among mostly self-published non-academics. 

In 2011 [[John Dickson (author)|John Dickson]] tweeted that if anyone finds a professor of history who denies that Jesus lived,[http://www.abc.net.au/religion/articles/2012/12/24/3660194.htm he would eat a page] of his Bible (Matthew 1 he said). Dickson's Bible is still safe. 

The article discusses the ancient sources that relate to Jesus and how they fit together to establish that he existed. The evidence for Jesus is not just based on the Christian gospels, but by inter-relating them with non-Christian sources, and the fact that they all "fit together". Moreover, the existence of Jesus is not supported just by Christian scholars and in recent years the detailed knowledge of Jewish scholars and their discoveries (e.g. [[Shlomo Pines]]' discovery of the [[Josephus on Jesus|Syriac Josephus]]) has proven highly beneficial. We encourage you to read and follow the article, for the existence of Jesus is central to the existence of Christianity.

'''From the Editor'''<br>
[[File:ბუმბული.png|left|50px]] Welcome to the July 2013 issue of Ichthus. We focus on the chronology of Jesus, as well as looking back at the project content improved over the last month.

WP:X has gained another Featured Article, [[Gospel of the Ebionites]], by [[User:Ignocrates|Ignocrates]]. The Gospel of the Ebionites is the name scholars give to an apocryphal gospel that supposedly belonged to a sect known as the Ebionites. It consists of seven short quotations discovered in a heresiology known as the Panarion, written by Epiphanius of Salamis, and its original title remains unknown. The text is a gospel harmony composed in Greek, and is believed to have been written during the middle of the 2nd century.

[[St Mihangel's Church, Llanfihangel yn Nhowyn]] was promoted to Good Article status, as was two other welsh churches, [[St Enghenedl's Church, Llanynghenedl]], and [[St Peter's Church, Llanbedrgoch]].

The main page also featured several DYK hooks for articles in our project, namely [[Bob Fu]], [[List of places of worship in Tandridge (district)]], [[Catholic Press]], [[Garendon Abbey]], [[St. John's Episcopal Church (Jersey City, New Jersey)]], [[Pargev Martirosyan]], [[Praskvica Monastery]], [[Heather Preceptory]], [[St. Augustin, Coburg]], [[Longleat Priory]], [[St Mihangel's Church, Llanfihangel yn Nhowyn]], [[St Enghenedl's Church, Llanynghenedl]], [[Christianization of Moravia]], [[Christianization of Bohemia]], [[Repton Abbey]], [[St Peter's Church, Llanbedrgoch]], [[Medingen Abbey]], [[Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church]], [[St. James on-the-Lines]], and [[Leopold Karl von Kollonitsch]].

'''Church of the month'''<br>
[[File:Chrám svatého Michala v Kyjevě.jpg|150px|center]]
[[St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery]] is part of [[Saint Sophia's Cathedral, Kiev]] in [[Ukraine]]. It is a functioning monastery that dates back to the [[Middle Ages]].

When did Jesus live? When did he die? How do we know? We do, in fact, have excellent information about the time intervals for the life and death of Jesus. As in other people who lived and died in the first century, this gives an approximate date range, but still, give or take 3-4 years and we have pretty good estimates confirmed by a number of really diverse sources, ranging from inscriptions in [[Delphi]] to Roman and Jewish sources. The '''[[Chronology of Jesus]]''' article discusses how a wide variety of Christian, Jewish and Roman sources are used to establish the time-frame for the life and death of Jesus.

And all of his data fits together. For instance, the chronology of Paul had been discussed based on the [[Book of Acts]] long ago, then the [[Delphi Inscription]] is found in the 20th century in the [[Temple of Apollo]]. And guess what.. it confirms it and totally dates his trial in [[Corinth]], which helps reaffirm the date of the crucifixion of Jesus. The same date range is independently estimated from the writings of [[Josephus on Jesus|Josephus on the Baptist]]'s death. And it fits [[Isaac Newton]]'s astronomical models for the crucifixion date as well as the independent lunar calculations of [[Colin Humphreys|Humphreys]]. As that article shows, all these dates just fit together.

Welcome to the August 2013 issue of the WikiProject Christianity newsletter. We focus on the historical Jesus and reflect on the last month.

The project has another featured picture, [[:File:The_Ruins_of_Holyrood_Chapel_(Louis_Daguerre),_1824_(Google_Art_Project).jpg|The ruins of Holyrood Chapel]], a digitisation of an oil-on-canvas painting. Our top-importance article, [[Jesus]], has been nominated for Featured Article status, the discussion can be seen [[Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Jesus/archive3|here]]; [[Knights of Colombus]] has also been nominated as a FAC.

[[Ecgbert (bishop)]] and [[Church architecture in Scotland]] have both this month achieved [[WP:GA|Good Article]] status.

Our project had several of its articles featured in the main page DYK section, including [[Hinckley Priory]], [[Little Chapel]], [[St Peter's Church, Ropsley]], [[Chip Ingram]],  [[St John the Evangelist's Church, Corby Glen]], [[Great George Street Congregational Church]], [[St Mary's Church, Walton-on-the-Hill]] and [[Bunge church]].

Our thanks go to all of those who have worked to achieve these article milestones.

What was Jesus like? What did he preach? Did he claim to be the Messiah? Did he predict an apocalypse? What can we know about him outside a religious context? The '''[[Historical Jesus]]''' article discusses what can be known about Jesus with various degrees of probability. While scholars agree on the over all flow and outline of Jesus' life (his [[Baptism of Jesus|baptism by John]], debated Jewish authorities, healings, and [[Crucifixion of Jesus|his crucifixion]] by Pilate) they have built various and diverging portraits of the rest of his life. These range from minimalist portraits that accept very little of the gospel accounts to maximalists who accept most of the accounts as historical.

The portraits of Jesus have at times been unwitting reflections of the researchers themselves, and [[John Dominic Crossan|Crossan]] once quipped that some authors "do autobiography and call it biography". However, the study of historical Jesus has made one thing clear: there is so much to learn about Jesus that the more one looks, the more there is to discover.

Belated Happy Easter and Kalo Pascha! We're excited to announce the return of our newsletter ''Ichthus''! Getting this issue out was  [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive980#Taking_a_position_on_whether_Billy_Graham%27s_death_was_a_%22profound_loss%22|touch-and-go]] for a while. Check out what's happening at the Project:
* There was a [[Template:Did you know nominations/Christ the Lord Is Risen Today|lively discussion]] about the Easter Did You Know nomination Christ the Lord is Risen Today
* [[Talk:Knights_of_Columbus#RfC_on_the_Lead_section|RFC at Knights of Columbus]] regarding a question about having Prop 8 in the lead
* In anticipation of being nominated for Featured article, Presbyterian Church in the United States of America was [[Wikipedia:Peer_review/Presbyterian_Church_in_the_United_States_of_America/archive1|put up for Peer Review]] by [[User:Ltwin|Ltwin]]
* The death of Billy Graham on February 21 was a profound loss for many. For the Wikipedia reaction see [[Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates/February_2018#&#91;Posted&#93;_Billy_Graham|this discussion]]. Graham received a blurb.
* And...

{{TFAIMAGE|StJohnsAshfield StainedGlass GoodShepherd-frame crop.jpg|Jesus of Nazareth}}
'''[[Jesus]]''' (7–2 BC to 30–33 AD) is the central figure of [[Christianity]], whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the [[Son of God]] and the awaited [[Messiah]] of the [[Old Testament]]. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that a [[historical Jesus]] existed, although there is little agreement on the reliability of the [[gospel|gospel narratives]] and how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Jewish preacher from Galilee, was baptized by [[John the Baptist]], and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman prefect, [[Pontius Pilate]]. Christians generally believe that Jesus was conceived by the [[Holy Spirit]], [[Virgin birth of Jesus|born of a virgin]], performed [[Miracles of Jesus|miracles]], founded the Church, [[Crucifixion of Jesus|died by crucifixion]] as a sacrifice to achieve [[Atonement in Christianity|atonement]], [[Resurrection of Jesus|rose from the dead]], and [[Ascension of Jesus|ascended]] into heaven, from which [[Second Coming|he will return]]. The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three Persons of a [[Divine Trinity]]. A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural. [[Jesus in Islam|In Islam]], Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah. {{TFAFULL|Jesus}}

Last month's auspicious relaunch of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Outreach/April 2018|our newsletter]] precipitated something of an uproar in the Wikipedia community. What started as a localized edit war over censorship spilled over onto the Administrator's Noticeboard finally ending up at Wikipedia's supreme judicial body ArbCom. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard&oldid=837089062#Motion:_Misuse_of_Administrator_Tools Their ruling] resulted in the admonishment of administrator {{u|Future Perfect at Sunrise}} for his involvement in the dispute. The story [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2018-04-26/Arbitration_report|was reported]] by Wikipedia's venerable flagship newspaper ''The Signpost''.

The question of whether to delete all portals--including the 27 Christianity-related portals--was put to the Wikipedia community. Approximately 400 editors have participated in the [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/RfC:_Ending_the_system_of_portals|protracted discussion]]. Going by !votes, Oppose deletion has a distinct majority. The original [[Portal:Christianity|Christianity Portal]] was created on November 5, 2005 by {{User link|Brisvegas}} and the following year he successfully nominated the portal for Featured Portal. {{u|The Transhumanist}} has revived [[WP:WikiProject Portals|WikiProject Portals]] with hopes of revitalizing Wikipedia's system of 1,515 portals.

[[Image:Nate Saint Plane.jpg|150px|The reconstructed frame of Nate Saint's plane used in Operation Auca]]

'''[[Operation Auca]]''' was an attempt by five [[Evangelicalism|Evangelical]] [[Christianity|Christian]] [[missionaries]] from the [[United States]] to make contact with the [[Huaorani]] people of the [[Amazon Rainforest|rainforest]] of [[Ecuador]]. The Huaorani, also known as the Aucas, were an isolated tribe known for their violence, both against their own people and outsiders who entered their territory. With the intention of being the first [[Protestantism|Protestants]] to evangelize the Huaorani, the missionaries began making regular flights over Huaorani settlements in September 1955, dropping gifts. After several months of exchanging gifts, on [[January 2]], [[1956]], the missionaries established a camp at "Palm Beach", a [[Bar (landform)|sandbar]] along the [[Curaray River]], a few miles from Huaorani settlements.  Their efforts culminated on [[January 8]], [[1956]], when all five&mdash;[[Jim Elliot]], [[Nate Saint]], Ed McCully, Peter Fleming, and [[Roger Youderian]]&mdash;were attacked and [[spear]]ed by a group of Huaorani warriors.  The news of their deaths was broadcast around the world, and [[Life (magazine)|''Life'' magazine]] covered the event with a photo essay. The deaths of the men galvanized the missionary effort in the United States, sparking an outpouring of funding for evangelization efforts around the world. Their work is still frequently remembered in evangelical publications, and in 2006, was the subject of the film production ''[[End of the Spear]]''. ('''[[Operation Auca|more...]]''')

This depiction departs significantly from the historical record of how Mortara was taken—no clergy were present, for example.}}</div>
The '''[[Mortara case]]''' was a controversy precipitated by the [[Papal States]]' seizure of Edgardo Mortara, a six-year-old Jewish child, from his family in [[Bologna|Bologna, Italy]], in 1858. The city's [[inquisitor]], Father Pier Feletti, heard from a servant that she had administered [[emergency baptism]] to the boy when he fell sick as an infant, and the [[Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith| Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition]] held that this made the child irrevocably a Catholic. Because the Papal States had forbidden the raising of Christians by members of other faiths, it was ordered that he be taken from his family and brought up by the Church. After visits from the child's father, international protests mounted, but [[Pope Pius IX]] would not be moved. The boy grew up as a Catholic with the Pope as a substitute father, trained for the priesthood in Rome until 1870, and was [[Ordination|ordained]] in France three years later. In 1870 the [[Kingdom of Italy]] captured Rome during the [[Italian unification|unification of Italy]], ending the pontifical state; opposition across Italy, Europe and the United States over Mortara's treatment may have contributed to its downfall. {{TFAFULL|Mortara case}}

'''[[List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events]]'''. Predictions of [[apocalypse|apocalyptic events]] that would result in the extinction of humanity, a collapse of civilization, or the destruction of the planet have been made since at least the beginning of the [[Christian Era]]. Most predictions are related to [[Abrahamic religions]], often standing for or similar to the [[eschatological]] events described in their scriptures. Christian predictions typically refer to events like the [[Rapture]], [[Great Tribulation]], [[Last Judgment]], and the [[Second Coming of Christ]].

Polls conducted in 2012 across 20 countries found over 14% of people believe the world will end in their lifetime, with percentages raging from 6% of people in France to 22% in the US and Turkey. In the UK in 2015, the general public believed the likeliest cause would be [[nuclear war]], while experts thought it would be [[Existential risk from artificial general intelligence|artificial intelligence]]. Between one and three percent of people from both countries thought the apocalypse would be caused by [[zombies]] or [[alien invasion]]. ([[List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events|more...]])

Hello TMLutas,

You are currently noted as a participant of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment/Climate change task force]]. With much of the activity in this task force about ten years ago, I think it's time for a revival. Global warming is getting a lot of attention in the media now and it's therefore important our articles are up-to-date, accurate and neutral. 

I've updated the task force page and the to do list and invite you to have a look at the page again, add something to the TO DO list or start collaborating by improving one of our many articles. If climate change has lost your interest, feel free to remove your name from the participants list.

The cathedral is located on the south side of the River Lee, on ground that has been a place of worship since the 7th century, and is dedicated to [[Finbarr of Cork]], patron saint of the city. It was once in the Diocese of Cork; it is now one of the three cathedrals in the [[Church of Ireland]] Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, in the ecclesiastical province of [[Dublin]]. Christian use of the site dates back to a 7th-century AD monastery, which according to legend was founded by Finbarr of Cork. The entrances contain the figures of over a dozen biblical figures, capped by a tympanum showing a Resurrection scene.

'''''When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships''''' is a 1999 book by [[Eric Ludy|Eric]] and [[Leslie Ludy]], an American married couple. After becoming a bestseller on the Christian book market, the book was republished in 2004 and then revised and expanded in 2009. It tells the story of the authors' first meeting, [[courtship]], and marriage. The authors advise [[Single person|single people]] not to be [[Physical intimacy|physically]] or [[Emotional intimacy|emotionally intimate]] with others, but to wait for the spouse that [[Will of God|God has planned]] for them. 

The book is divided into five sections and sixteen chapters. Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of the two authors; nine are by Eric, while Leslie wrote seven, as well as the introduction. The Ludys argue that one's love life should be both guided by and subordinate to one's [[Personal god#Christianity|relationship with God]]. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly [[Chastity|unchaste]] or [[Sexual abuse|sexually abused]] individuals.

[[File:Sretenie.jpg|Сретение Господне ("The Meeting of the Lord"), a depiction of Simeon recognising Jesus at the Temple, from a fifteenth-century Novgorodskye School Russian icon.|right|205px]]
'''''A Song for Simeon''''', is a 37-line poem written in 1928 by American-English poet [[T.&nbsp;S. Eliot]] (1888–1965). It is [[T. S. Eliot's Ariel poems|one of five poems]] that Eliot contributed to the ''[[Ariel poems (Faber)|Ariel poems]]'' series of 38 pamphlets by several authors published by [[Faber and Faber|Faber and Gwyer]]. "A Song for Simeon" was the sixteenth in the series and included an illustration by [[avant garde]] artist [[Edward McKnight Kauffer]]. The poem's narrative echoes the text of the {{lang|la|[[Nunc dimittis]]|italic=no}}, a liturgical prayer for [[Compline]] from the Gospel passage. Eliot introduces literary allusions to earlier writers [[Lancelot Andrewes]], [[Dante Alighieri]] and [[St. John of the Cross]]. Critics have debated whether Eliot's depiction of Simeon is a negative portrayal of a Jewish figure and evidence of [[anti-Semitism]] on Eliot's part.

<small>By [[User:FarmerUpbeat|FarmerUpbeat]]</small>

WikiProject Christianity is being revitalized! After an initiative led by [[User:Sheriff U3|Sheriff U3]] to categorize participants as active or inactive, as well as organizing roles for those who are active, WP:X members are hopeful for the future of the project as we move into a new era. Any questions about this may be directed to [[User_talk:Sheriff U3|Sheriff U3]] as we move into this new era of the WikiProject!

WikiProject member 
[[User:FarmerUpbeat|FarmerUpbeat]] has been selected as the new newsletter editor, and greets the readers of ''Ichthus'' with benedictions.

This has been a special edition of ''Ichthus'', official newsletter of WikiProject:Christianity. A '''full edition''' will come in April, stay tuned!
