GA Sweeps: On hold

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing Sweeps to determine if the article should remain a Good article. In reviewing the article, I have found there are multiple issues that needs to be addressed.

Needs citations:

1. Address the "citation needed" tags that have been there since April 2008.
2. "However, a few months later the churches were permitted to reopen, provided that their liturgy would not duplicate the Roman Catholic liturgy, and their clergy would wear gray clerical attire in contrast to the black clothing worn by Catholic clergy."
3. "The Church is considered to have become more theologically, and generally, conservative under the Patriarchate of Dom Luis."
4. The majority of the "Apostolic succession" and "International communion" sections are uncited.

Other issues:

1. The citations currently only include a title. In addition, they should include author, date, publisher, access date, etc. The citation templates at WP:CITET can help with formatting.
2. The external links need to be properly formatted.
3. Why does the lead state that the church has 5 million members and the infobox 800,000-900,000?
4. Unless there is some guideline that recommends against this, the history section should come before the belief section. Readers need to know how it was established and what the church has gone through to understand what they believe in.
5. "As a result of all this it is usually inferred that the Holy Orders conferred by Duarte Costa himself after leaving the Roman Catholic Church are valid but illicit." Single sentences shouldn't stand alone. To improve the flow of the article, either expand on this sentence or incorporate it into another paragraph.
6. The lead needs to be expanded to touch on all of the different sections. In addition, some of the information in the lead is not mentioned in the text of the article.
7. There are several dead links that need to be fixed. The Internet Archive can help.

I will leave the article on hold for seven days, but if progress is being made and an extension is needed, one may be given. If no progress is made, the article may be delisted, which can then later be renominated at WP:GAN. I'll contact all of the main contributors and related WikiProjects so the workload can be shared. Once the above issues are addressed, I'll help do a final copyedit of the article. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing!

GA Sweeps: Delisted

The article has been on hold for a week and no improvements were made. As a result I have delisted the article as it still has a way to go before meeting the GA criteria. Continue to improve the article, addressing the issues above. Once they are addressed, please renominate the article at WP:GAN. I look forward to seeing the further improvement of the article, and don't hesitate to contact me if you need assistance with any of these. If you disagree with this review, a community consensus can be reached at WP:GAR. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing!

Talk:Personal Ordinariate

Apart from the Traditional Anglican Communion, the article should really consider verifying whether groups such as the Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church have ever sought a similar canonical structure to the proposed personal ordinariates. ADM (talk) 18:08, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Given the content of the article it doesn't seem to me that this Church would have any reason to want to be in a structural union with the Roman Catholic Church. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 00:44, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

@ADM: there is no need one, preserving rituals or heritage is not an issue. Individuals, who are former Roman Catholics, can accept the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church and reconcile at the local Roman Catholic parish individually; individuals, who are not former Roman Catholics, can participate in a local Roman Catholic parish conversion process, such as the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults in the US, and become members of the Roman Catholic Church individually. –BoBoMisiu (talk) 19:41, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
