As some of you who do speak foreign languages know, one of the most easily available, and, in general, useful learning aids for people is a text they know already, which allows them to focus on the specific words of the new language.

] is the group whose purpose is to help develop the content related to the Christmas season, including Advent, New Year's, and related holidays. As many of us know, in several parts of the world, including the United States, the Christmas season is not only the time of one of the greatest holidays of the Christian liturgical year, but it is also the "make or break" time for many retailers, whose profitability for the year often depends on their success in this time of the giving of sometimes significantly expensive gifts. In other parts of the world, the winter solstice period and sometimes specifically Christmas itself means something that might surprise many Christians, like the ], where Christmas is one of the times hotels receive the greatest number of, often unmarried, couples staying there for the night. The solstice season is also significant to several other religions. Many of these days are also legal holidays in several places. In Belarus, for instance, both the Western and Eastern Christmas commemorations are legal holidays. We would certainly welcome the members of this project to donate some of their time and talents in the upcoming months to improving this significant content.

]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.

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.
Hi Ed. How's about 3pm UTC today? If there's a particular time convinient to you, I can probably make it, so long as it isn't after 11 pm UTC. Cheers, ]</nowiki>]] 11:44, 1 October 2005 (UTC)


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.
Or I'm online right now, if that helps. Cheers, ]</nowiki>]] 11:47, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Did Jesus exist? Did he walk the streets of Jerusalem? The ''']''' 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 ] tweeted that if anyone finds a professor of history who denies that Jesus lived, 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. ]' discovery of the ]) 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.

Dear Fellow Wikimedian,
Your contributions are huge, but I recommend stepping back from the stuff and start writing some articles again...I don't know all your interests, but there are over a thousand redlined links of unwritten articles which you can find through ] and or just go to ] and follow the links to lists of wilderness areas, national forests and fish and wildlife areas. Maybe that gives you more stress. It's so easy to get drawn into this thing, I would stop placing stress on yourself to feel the need to contribute more than you feel comfortable or in areas that you feel burned out in. Just a few thoughts.--] 02:40, 4 October 2005 (UTC)


You have been invited to the ] ''']''' at Building Five on the ] campus on Saturday, January 18th, from 3-5 PM. Afterwards, we will be holding an informal dinner at a local restaurant. If you are curious to join us, please do so, as we are always looking for people to come and give their opinion! Finally, be sure to ''']''' if you're interested.
I started here much more recently than you obviously and posted about 5 anon edits to the George W. Bush article, created my user account, then pretty much hung around that ONE article for some time, posting less than 10 to 15 edits per day. I found that experience brought out the worst in me and Misplaced Pages was more work than play. Then I came upon an area that reconnected me with my past work (Land Management) and started writing articles. It gives me a break from my current job which is unrelated and kind of reconnects me with my youth and what I like. Once I got involved in that, I was able to join the Harmonious editing club (to help curb my appetite for revert warrring) and I now do a combination of watchdog efforts, RC Patrol, a few votes in Afd and kind of mix it all up, rarely becoming overly entangled in anything too contenious. I find that the article creation for the area of my passion, is sort of like building a puzzle...I have to research the information, rewrite it to avoid copyvio, I have contacted some photographers via email to utilize their images, and there is some sort of finality to it, since the information has few changes over time. Additionally, there isn't much to argue about since the area of a land resource is known, the height of a mountain is known and if you are really bored, a quick check of a few of my creations reveils that there have been few other contributors...maybe there's only a handful of those out there that worry about articles such as the ones I write. In a nutshell, I would discover a path along those lines and deemphasize the stressful areas, maybe even step away from them some for awhile and then seek out a balance or combination.--] 19:57, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

''"Who's more emotional, men or women? Contrary to popular belief, I think men are much more emotional than women. Women let out surface shit like crying to their friends because everyone's going away to school, but I think men have emotion that runs deeper than oceans. We hold them in, (we must) and we confront them in private, in our rooms, in our sleep, in our car, in our MUSIC. Music can BREAK a man in half. Tear him down to a child. Sitting on the floor, crying, listening to those beautiful melodies, wanting love, wanting to give love, share love, feel, feel, feel. Women like to dance to music, and have beautiful rhythym, but I've never met one where the music could kill them. Where the music was EVERYTING. Where music had the power to strip them of walls and masks. For my male friends, music saves them. It purges them of deep desperation and aguish in this idiotic world where men can't cry."''

== New England Wikimedians summer events! ==
I submit that there is no way to achieve consensus unless we allow for non-consensus. If a black-and-white decision must be made in every case, "consensus" becomes nothing but a vote, so why call it anything else? Why fool ourselves into thinking that we can achieve consensus here at Misplaced Pages? What happens when a minority interest truly believes that the majority opinion is factually incorrect? Can the minority interest keep the majority definition from becoming the article? Would it be consensus if it could? Would this issue be any different if we called consensus a 60% majority or even a 55% majority. Of course not.


{|style="background:#d5dceb; border:1px solid #6881b9; margin:0.5em; padding:0.5em;border-radius: 8px;"
In the end Misplaced Pages:Consensus has only one implementation, a 50.0001% majority rule. Administrators can always step in to "apply common sense", but does that improve consensus? It does if editors respect the opinions of those administrators over their own. From what I can tell, gaining that respect is the goal of many administrators here, but is that goal achievable? Will Misplaced Pages editors ever become truly subservient to the whims of administrators? I submit that they will not, and I offer an alternative to this increasingly absurd path: the possibility for non-consensus to exist.

|-
| style="padding-left: .6em;" |


After many months of doubt, nature has finally warmed up and summer is almost here! The New England Wikimedians user group have planned some upcoming events. This includes some unique and interesting events to those who are interested:
Viable non-consensus allows consensus to happen. Only when one has a practicable choice to go against popular opinion can he feel ''free'' and ''part of the community'' at the same time. This sense of combined ''liberty'' and ''social responsibility'' allows people to weigh the two often-conflicting conclusions they reach when considering each separately. If they are still part of the community, a person will generally weigh their social responsibility very heavily, and only opt for something else when it is blatantly false or against the good of the whole.


*], with complete travel reimbursements available for those who participate
Implementation of real consensus can only come when there is a third alternative to ''adoption of a majority article'' or ''adoption of a minority article''. When someone has a specific phrasing that they feel is better than the one adopted by the general community, and they will not yield to the wording of the majority, there must be an easy way to identify and view that alternate wording from the main article. This link should not detract from the main article, but it must be clearly identified and allow for the fact that the dispute may never be settled. If such a program were implemented, it would raise our "consensus" threshold from, ''realistically'', the 50.0001% that it is now to 95% or better. More importantly, it would allow us to quantify exactly what we mean by Misplaced Pages:Consensus, thereby reducing arbcom wars and vandalism (the only current methods of minority expression) while elevating the respectability of Misplaced Pages.

*], which will feature at least one guest speaker, and possibly many more


Although we also aren't hosting this year's Wikimania, we would like to let you know that Wikimania this year will be occurring in London in August:
Responsibility is inextricably tied to decision making. When an institution grows to the size that the people feel stewardship for its success, they are necessarily bound to also influence decision making. Misplaced Pages has grown to this size. It belongs to the people. Recognizing this fact and enabling people to express themselves without treading on the rights of others will preserve its existence as it grows into the world's greatest resource of information. I know your views on giving more power to the people have been skeptical, but I hope I've presented the beginning of an implementation that addresses both a reduction in vandalism and relief for the overworked arbitration committee, while also increasing the viability of information retrieved from Misplaced Pages. --] 15:57, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, we meet again, but under different circumstances this time. I just want you to know that most people around here like and respect you. I saw your listing at ], and thought I might try to say something encouraging. Try not to let one anon editor get you down. The new Wikiproject you created could prove to be an important NPOV tool (although I disagree with ''some'' of your rules there, but that's a diferent story). Just keep up the fight for the good POV of NPOV. Once people understand this is not just some blog to track people's emotions or feelings, great things can happen. I hope you get a chance to relax and lower your stress level a bit. Just know that a supermajority of people here like what you are doing, and that you cannot please everybody all the time. If you ever need any help with stress, just let me know what I can do, and it's done. See you around my friend. --]]] <sup><font color="#3D9140">]</font></sup> 16:11, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

== Saturday April 30: ] ==
Hi, noticed that you've '''never''' failed to successfully mediate any issues between two editors or on an article. So if you'd be kind enough to hear my story, please have a look at my "case" which might not be very easy to start off. The issue is particularly pertaining to ] who seems to first delete all my information to nearly all India/Pakistan related articles. While I'm an Indian I have to the best of my knowledge not presented any controversial statements which are not backed with neutral sources or in the case of Pakistan related articles, Pakistani sources. Few, if any, statements or opinions on these articles are added by me which come only from one side but a good combination of neutral, pak and indian authors. I shall mention case by case the issue with "anonymous editor" (note: not anonymous user).


{|style="background:#d5dceb; border:1px solid #6881b9; margin:0.5em; padding:0.5em;border-radius: 8px;"
===Resolved ones (Just for historical background)===
|-
1. ] where he tried to delete statements on Pakistani infiltration before the other authors, including me pointed out the sources and I had to point out the exact pages. Instead of using the talk page he just goes and deletes.

On '''Saturday April 30, 2016''', in conjunction with a global campaign, the ] will host its fourth Misplaced Pages edit-a-thon — or, <big>'''#guggathon'''</big> — to enhance Misplaced Pages's coverage of modern and contemporary artists from the ] region, and to ].


The Guggenheim aims to further the goals of the ], and build on the model of campaigns like the ], ], and ].
2. ] article where he tried to remove statements from pak authors and neutral webpages that said that the general was involved in kargil planning and his failed attempt in 1987 to capture ]


New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Misplaced Pages and Misplaced Pages specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support.
===Problem ones (ongoing issues)===
These are the issues with which I'm having especially since he '''does not read the sources given''' and expects me to quote the exact lines each and every time. Initially I did this and quoted but he just fails to listen to reason and I've run out of patience. He also fails to respond to personal messages and just deletes them from his talk page frustrating me.


Can’t join us in New York? Visit ] to coordinate international and online events as well.
1. ] where i quote a reference and he removes it and accuses me of POV. then i add a neutral/pak source still he reverts it to his view and again fails to give any reason other than "POV" despite me presenting facts backed by pak authors he deletes them. I can accept changes to the wording to provide NPOV but he outrightly deletes them and if you see the talk page of this article, he uses words like "limited ability" to abuse me. He also said that "it is very likely that he made it up." commenting on the intro line where it states "90% of all reported terrorist activities worldwide were located in Pakistan" which was taken from a Pakistan source mentioned clearly. Is there any policy that states that I should mention the exact line numbers of a book in Misplaced Pages?


*Saturday. April 30 ''']''' (''Participants have to bring their own laptops and power cords).
2. ] Here too he deleted some of my statements (instead of removing any POV if he saw in it) backed by proof. For eg. The statement on the balochistan issue was backed by ] still he refuses to read the source and deletes it. While the baloch issue would be a genocide as per UN statement (Balochs say state terrorism also is involved) I'm afraid that even if I include the issue of Balochistan again, here or in ] he would promptly delete it and accuse me of adding POV statements. was prepared by the UN on the Balochistan Genocide and including in that article is most likely to bring in the reverts of this furious editor if I did add it.

===My errors===
|}
I admit I also made a few errors like not starting a talk page earlier and settling them, but I was convinced that this person wouldn't respond even after my personal messages to his account. Also I made requests to state exactly what his reasons were for reverting which he simply quotes as POV in the comment line. Despite this I asked him to use the talk page and initiate a dialogue - which he didn't and I started. I also admit I wasn't really polite but never used any personal attacks despite his irritating behaviour. Finally I should have done something earlier instead of involving myself in stupid edit/revert wars with him as the history shows. Maybe at that time I was so pissed off that I just decided to revert. '''But never have I added factually inaccurate statements''' that was not made by a known neutral source or Pakistani source.

I think this would have been the longest message someone might have sent you. Actually there are a lot more but i didn't want to bore you any further. If you feel that this is beyond you it's ok but do let me know if you'd mediate on this issue since he is impeding me from editing articles and taking it forward. ] 12:57, 7 October 2005 (UTC)


{{Ivmbox|Hello, Ed Poor. Voting in the ''']''' is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
===Response from the other side===
Ed, the disputes I had with Idleguy have been resolved for now, I think. As for ], it has reached a point I think which is as neutral as it can get considering both sides (please see talk page and the edit history of the article). I have compromised fairly, but idleguy reverted repeatedly. It was not always a matter of sourcing, but the quality of his sources, which were biased most of the time. Also, he adjusted sentences and statements to give an anti- Pakistani POV, such as where he took the statement that applies to the Information minister of Pakistan and applied it to the entire government. I had urged him to talk about his major additions but he failed to accept until a very prolonged time of adding POV material. See talk page and edit of the article for details.


The ] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the ]. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose ], ], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The ] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
As for ], you can look at the edit history on seeing the clear POV that was being added by Idleguy. It was basically a whitewash attempt of the India section and an attempt at POVing the Pakistan section. The initial editor involved was ] and I had a compromise with him (see ) and we both agreed even though he shared the same POV as idleguy. Idleguy reverted immediately despite my agreement with gupta, thus indicating that he was only here only to insert POV. I have tried compromises with Idleguy, but he refuses to agree. I have refrained from making changes to the state terrorism article now and hope that Idleguy will too. See the edit history of that article for details.


If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review ] and submit your choices on ''']'''.
Idleguy has been acting very disruptively in the past, especially on the ] article where he kept messing with the neutrality tag. There is a background to this story that idleguy hasn't told you.

I can only hope that Idleguy will work productively and neutrally in the future and refrain from his constant personal attacks (incl. ones I deleted from my talk page). For now, in my perspective, the issues have been resolved provided that idleguy does not add anymore objectionable material.

:I think the issue is nearly settled and since you're on vacation this is just for the record. Anon's statement "but the quality of his sources, which were biased most of the time." in ] is unfounded. Of the four sources given originally in the article only one was from India (]) which was only a news article and not an opinion (still I had an alternate source from Pakistan). Of the remaining 3 references 2 were from Pakistani authors and the rest was a neutral/third party one. So his accusation that I added mostly biased sources is visibly wrong and can be checked even now. On the guise of accusing others of POV he had deleted entire statements for which sources were provided.


We will include a look at the organization and planning for our chapter, and expanding volunteer roles for both regular Misplaced Pages editors and new participants.
:As for the other issues, I only hope anon will read the sources (and before he rubbishes them as a blog or forum as he did with rediff.com when clearly he had no knowledge on the site's core business, i.e. news) instead of asking me to point to the exact lines. Also his constant reverts when there is a blatant POV issue on both sides in ] and fiddling with the tag in an attempt to blame only one side shows that he is interesting in protecting one side's interest and mocking others' edits as POV/biased. Misplaced Pages rules state that in case of a problem to both sides it should be tagged accordingly (the current one seems OK). By not following the rules and constantly accusing others of bias little realising his own bias and hindrance to information I wish that there is little conflict with him in the future.


We will also follow up on plans for recent and upcoming ]s, museum and library projects, education initiatives, and other outreach activities.
:To anon:I've made any mistakes (like being a bit rude or obstinate) I'm sorry and hope we can get along. :) Let the past be gone and work towards objectivity and not emotions. Tx to both. And enjoy your wikivacation. ] 05:55, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

:: Accepted. I did not fiddle with the tag, though, I had the tag there for ages because of requests from editors. Also. I do not have an anti-India bias, since I really don't add any material about India; I mostly change anti-Pakistani material to a lower degree of POV. I never mocked your edits and I reverted tremendously less than you did. You also tried to bring a religious face (sometimes to the degree of bigotry) to the issues by bringing in Islam as a factor, which I tried my best to separate from on India and Pakistan-related articles. Although I don't agree to what you said about your sources (since there were only two in dispute, one of which I agreed with), I urge you to compromise more in the future and not simply revert. I also suggest that you actually observe which statements I have removed and according to which wiki policy I have applied them. Furthermore, I accept your apology, extend mine and hope that we can work together effectively and neutrally in the future . :) Thanks and once again enjoy your wikivacation, Ed. --] <sup>]</sup> 06:06, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi Ed- I'd like your advice over the long running POV battles on the Landmark Education page. There have been a number of edits over the past month or so by myself and others with the intention of restoring neutality and eliminating much of the clutter and repetition. Today Pedant17 has waded in and made a vast array of changes which appear to me to be flagrant violations of the NPOV policy and stylistic guidelines.

You're building a case. I just asked you not to (see above). I the thing you say I "removed" was placed on the talk page for repairs. It might be relevant, but it is not substantiated, unless you think Misplaced Pages should accept anonymous criticisms as a source.

Contest of the month
We currently have a remarkable lack of Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages-Books. Right now, Category:Misplaced Pages books on Christianity contains only 12 books. We certainly could have at least one book on each major grouping within Christianity. One of the challenges for this month, then, is working to put together books on relevant topics. For this month, one contest is for editors to assemble the basic Misplaced Pages books for each of the main topics of the extant related projects. When finished, they should their creation of the books at the main Christianity noticeboard, and at the end of the month the project will award barnstars to those who have made a significant efforts in developing this underdeveloped content.

Also this month, we are going to have have a challenge to create and improve some of our more important missing or low-quality articles. Last month's challenge articles were Karl Beth and Nerses IV the Gracious. Both articles are currently candidates for the DYK section of the main page. This month's challenge articles are the Stub-class article James Hastings and the not yet started Rudolf Sohm, A barnstar will be awarded to any editor who can get these articles up to DYK quality level and ultimately selected for the DYK section of the main page.


Calendar
Thie coming month (mid-September through mid-October) includes feasts dedicated to the honor of the Martyrs of Korea, Saint Matthew, Vincent de Paul, Michaelmas, Saint Jerome, Theresa of Lisieux, the Feast of the Guardian Angels, Francis of Assisi, Our Lady of the Rosary, and Teresa of Avila.

Featured content and GA report
Since the last report, Albertus Soegijapranata, and Reginald Heber were promoted to FA. Grade I listed churches in Greater Manchester was promoted to Featured List, and Jackie Hudson, Joyce Kilmer, Divine command theory, Bosa of York and Argument from morality were promoted to GA level. DYKs featured this past month include Church of Saint Benoit, Istanbul, All Saints Church, Hollingbourne, Neustädter Kirche, Hannover, St Mary's Church, Kirkby Lonsdale, Albert Ndongmo, If We Are the Body, List of places of worship in Tonbridge and Malling, Kulubnarti church, All Saints Church, Ulcombe, Val-Saint-Lambert Abbey, Igny Abbey, Church of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel, Brăila, Places of Worship Registration Act 1855, Collegiate Church of San Gimignano, and St Matthew's Church, Burnley. Our profoundest thanks and congratulations to all those involved!

Wikimedia Foundation report

As some of you may have seen, the Simple English Misplaced Pages has been experiencing some difficulties lately. This particular entity could be of great value to several individuals who are trying to learn English. As some of you who do speak foreign languages know, one of the most easily available, and, in general, useful learning aids for people is a text they know already, which allows them to focus on the specific words of the new language. Various recorded readings and translations of the Bible are among the best examples of this. Any efforts to try to enhance this vital means of informing a large segment of our readership is more than welcome. People interested in helping develop it are encouraged to leave a note regarding their specific articles of interest at the Christianity noticeboard. It would be wonderful if we could report some significant contributions to this sister site next month. And, of course, if we do have something to report, those involved would receive our greatest thanks.

WikiProject Calvinism is one of our more important subprojects. It is specifically devoted to developing content relating to the Calvinist tradition, and the primary point for development of content relating to the Pilgrims, Presbyterians, Reformed churches, Congregational church, Reformed Baptists, and Low church. We definitely encourage everyone to do what they can to help this project develop the content relating to this extremely important Christian tradition.


I believe
... that human nature is insufficient for salvation, and the grace of God is required to do so. I believe that God has preordained who will and will not achieve salvation. I believe that Jesus's atonement was sufficient for the purposes for which it was done. I believe that God's grace is of such power that it can overcome any person's resistance. I believe that those whom God has chosen for salvation will, by the undeniable power of God, persevere in God's grace. I am a Calvinist.


Help requests
Please let us know if there are any particular areas, either individual articles or topics, which you believe would benefit from outside help from a variety of other editors. We will try to include such requests in future issues.

WikiProject Holidays/Christmas task force is the group whose purpose is to help develop the content related to the Christmas season, including Advent, New Year's, and related holidays. As many of us know, in several parts of the world, including the United States, the Christmas season is not only the time of one of the greatest holidays of the Christian liturgical year, but it is also the "make or break" time for many retailers, whose profitability for the year often depends on their success in this time of the giving of sometimes significantly expensive gifts. In other parts of the world, the winter solstice period and sometimes specifically Christmas itself means something that might surprise many Christians, like the Christmas in Japan, where Christmas is one of the times hotels receive the greatest number of, often unmarried, couples staying there for the night. The solstice season is also significant to several other religions. Many of these days are also legal holidays in several places. In Belarus, for instance, both the Western and Eastern Christmas commemorations are legal holidays. We would certainly welcome the members of this project to donate some of their time and talents in the upcoming months to improving this significant content.

The core topics work group is the group whose specific purpose is to help identify and develop those articles which are of greatest importance to an overall understanding of the broad subject of Christianity, based on what is included in the core topics list. These articles include some of specific churches and individuals, history, philosophical and theological matters, and more. We have had some recent discussion regarding which articles should be included in this list, and it probably makes sense to revisit the selections, and try to figure out how best to work to make them high quality articles. Discussion is beginning at WT:X regarding these matters, and all input is welcome.

WikiProject Christianity Newsletter (June 2013)


ICHTHUS

June 2013

From the Editor

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 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

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
The article Jesus received the good article mark last month, as did Cleeve Abbey. A number of churches were featured on the main page in the DYK section in May, namely St. Lamberti, Hildesheim, Karja church, Braaby Church, 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) andAll Saints' Church, Winthorpe, as well as the hymn What Wondrous Love Is This.

Focus on...

THE
HISTORICAL JESUS

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 tweeted that if anyone finds a professor of history who denies that Jesus lived,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 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 bookshelf

Jesus Outside the New Testament: An Introduction to the Ancient Evidence by Robert Van Voorst, 2000 ISBN 0-8028-4368-9

Just a few years after its publication, Van Voorst's book has become the standard comprehensive text for the discussion of ancient sources that relate to Jesus and his historicity. This detailed yet really readable book has received wide ranging endorsements - Blomberg and Harris separately referring to it as the most comprehensive treatment of the subject.

Did you know...

A Handel manuscript
  • ... that Johann Sebastian Bach wrote the initials "S. D. G.", for Soli Deo Gloria, at the beginning and end of all his church compositions to give God credit for the work, and that Handel at times did the same?

Calendar
The coming month includes days dedicated to the honor of Beheading of John the Baptist, Saints Peter and Paul, the Nativity of John the Baptist, and Saint Barnabas.

Adrianne Wadewitz Memorial edit-a-thons

Adrianne Wadewitz edit-a-thons in Southern New England

As you may have already heard, the Misplaced Pages community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:

We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Misplaced Pages for the first time.
