Project News
By Lionelt
Last month's auspicious relaunch of 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. Their ruling resulted in the admonishment of administrator Future Perfect at Sunrise for his involvement in the dispute. The story 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 protracted discussion. Going by !votes, Oppose deletion has a distinct majority. The original Christianity Portal was created on November 5, 2005 by Brisvegas and the following year he successfully nominated the portal for Featured Portal. The Transhumanist has revived WikiProject Portals with hopes of revitalizing Wikipedia's system of 1,515 portals.

Operation Auca was an attempt by five Evangelical Christian missionaries from the United States to make contact with the Huaorani people of the 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 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 sandbar along the Curaray River, a few miles from Huaorani settlements. Their efforts culminated on January 8, 1956, when all five—Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Ed McCully, Peter Fleming, and Roger Youderian—were attacked and speared by a group of Huaorani warriors. The news of their deaths was broadcast around the world, and 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. (more...)

Thanks for uploading File:Discover Bethel Music by Bethel Music.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

The continued deletion of feedback on your talk page
editHi again. I couldn't help notice that you deleted my comments to you on your talk page multiple times. Although its clear by the history of your edits on other pages and the totally baseless reversions of mine and others edits on those pages that you have no respect for the Wikipedia rules what so ever, I still felt the need to remind you of rules regarding deletions of comments on your talk page, because that's just how I role ;) Per the Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines article "you should not edit or delete the comments of other editors without their permission." Last time I checked, I don't remember you sending me a request to delete my comments from your talk page. Maybe show some basic scruples next, or this time?, and do that. Otherwise, just leave the comment there. Even if it doesn't suite your tastes. Otherwise, your just getting rid of things simply because you don't like them. Instead of addressing the other persons concerns. Which last time I checked is the whole point in this thing. Thanks :) P.S. good job ignoring the rules about copyrights and not using quotes to much on the Bethel music articles. I hope they pay you well for potentially breaking the law on their behalf and for essentially selling out Wikipedia just so you can sell more of their albums and make it look like their articles are notable when they aren't. Just par for the course with people associated with that organization I guess. You know if you guys just followed the rules and sourced things probably, it wouldn't be an issue in the first place, but I guess your fine with fending off the deletions and other stuff if it means you can use Wikipedia as a spam platform for Bill Johnson and his lackeys. To each his own. At least its just more fodder for when you eventually get banned for good. Plus, it helps me have more of their pages fast tracked for deletion in the long run to. Which is totally fine with me :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamant1 (talk • contribs) 12:50, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 18:01, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

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, 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 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 ordained in France three years later. In 1870 the Kingdom of Italy captured Rome during the 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.

The Top 7 report
By Lionelt
The big news was the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Top 7 most popular articles in WikiProject Christianity were:
- Elizabeth I of England – legendary monarch who ushered in the Elizabethan Era over the dead body of her half-sister (#5)
- Henry VIII of England – on his deathbed the last words of the king who founded the English Reformation were "Monks! Monks! Monks!"
- Martin Luther King Jr. – can't wait to see the new US$5 bill featuring the "I Have a Dream" speech
- Seven deadly sins – surprisingly "original research" is not one of the Seven deadly sins
- Mary, Queen of Scots – arrested for Reigning While Catholic (RWC)
- Michael Curry (bishop) – our article says that he upstaged Meghan at her wedding. Did you see her wedding pictures? All I can say is {{dubious}}
- Robert F. Kennedy – when informed that missiles were being installed in Cuba he famously quipped, "Can they hit Oxford, Mississippi?"

List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events. Predictions of 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 artificial intelligence. Between one and three percent of people from both countries thought the apocalypse would be caused by zombies or alien invasion. (more...)

Linking to Amazon etc in Articles
editJust a heads up, you don't need to cite information gleamed from Amazon. Plus, the links are not considered reliable and their use is discouraged. See the discussion at Wikipedia:External links/Noticeboard and here Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources/Perennial sources for references. The same pretty much goes for iTunes. Also, your not allowed to link to copyrighted stuff on YouTube unless you own the copyright for it and I am pretty sure you don't. So all your links on the Bethel Music Discography article for instance are null. If you actually work for Bethel Music and have the copyrights, you should just disclose the conflict of interest and be done with it already. Otherwise, don't expect it to be any less then an uphill battle. As I will actively be doing my best to remove the offending links I have mentioned here and similar links, as much as I can. Btw, if you feel like defending yourself on the External Links discussion about it, id love to see you try. I'm sure you'll fail as hard as Walter Gorlitz did, if not harder. --Adamant1 (talk) 10:47, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
- Kuda188: sorry for using your talk page for this discussion.
- @Adamant1: The word is "gleaned" not "gleamed".
- The sources are reliable. We just went through a discussion about this, that you started at Wikipedia:External links/Noticeboard. There is nothing at Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources about perennial sources, but there is Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites essay. However once again you have confused external links with use as a reference.
- My advice to Kuda188: Please find content at review sources, such as those listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Christian music/Sources and Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources, but if none can be found, use Amazon or iTunes. If Adamant1 complains about that, ping me on the talk page of the article and I will discuss with an admin board. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:04, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
- Walter, first, stay out of conversations that have nothing to do with next time. You don't see me butting into conversations you have other people over policy do you? You aren't an administrator and it has nothing to do with you. Stop acting it does by stalking/threatening me continuously and lording over everything I do with your abusive wrong crap. Second, last time I checked you were wrong in the conversation we had about it and the administrator (who you lied about not being one) said I could change links if I felt like it and there are better ones to use. Also, it was mentioned by multiple there that the rules aren't meant to be used fundamentally as set in stone. So threaten me with your abusive crap all you want. I don't give a crap and I'm not going to back just you act like a bully rule Nazi. Third, discuss it with the admin rule board. You already got told off by an admin once. If that's not enough, feel free to get told of a second time. I don't really give a crap. They can look through the last three years of your abusive attitude toward me and all the none sense bias reverts you have done to see your full of it. I recommend you back off instead though and put your ego in check. Since I'm pretty willing to take you down with me if need be. I don't crap invested in Wikipedia like you do. So you have way more to lose then me and I'm pretty sure they won't like how you have acted anymore then they would do something to me for deleted a link. Also, I didn't "accuse" Koda188 of having a conflict of interest. I noted multiple instances of why that might be case and other people said he did before me. Plus, he's used copyrighted materiel he didn't have permission to use multiple times and kept doing despite being repeatedly called out for it. And he hasn't bothered to defend himself to the multiple people that brought it up to him over the last 3 years. Instead he's ignored them and deleted their messages. Its not just me. If there is no conflict of interest, he can just say so and prove it. He wont though. Even though he's had multiple opportunities. If you don't like the evidence fine. But don't defend someone that isn't worth defending just to try and be right.
- P.S. just do a basic Google search for his screen name
- https://soundcloud.com/kuda188 --> Songs by Bethel music of artists who's pages he has edited
- https://twitter.com/kuda_nyangoni ---> His Twitter page, him pushing Bethel Music stuff on it
- https://www.instagram.com/kuda_nyangoni/ ----> His Instagram page, big surprise, more Bethel stuff
- I'm sure you'll ignore all that though and nitpick a word I misspelled or something instead though. Since that's all you seem to have. You obviously have an issue with being a bully, can't admit when your wrong or let things go, and clearly just have something against me. Which I am pretty sure violates the harassment rules. So, feel free to contact an admin. If your not going to though, piss off already, stay out of my conversations, and leave me the hell alone. Definitely stop defending Kuda188 when he doesn't deserve it and can defend himself. Adamant1 (talk) 18:50, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry if you think I have nothing to do with these edits. You brought me into the discussion, so you can blame yourself for that.
- In short, your advice is wrong and I needed to let this editor know that.
- Stalking the editor to his social media pages is problematic. Editors are not prohibited from editing content for subjects they admire or have an interest in. It's a common way to become involved in editing.
- If you can prove, WP:COI, feel free to take it WP:COIN. Otherwise, you're the problem, not Kuda. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:13, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
- Walter Gorlitz, not on the page you linked to "When an external role or relationship could reasonably be said to undermine that primary role (to further the interests of the encyclopedia}, the editor has a conflict of interest." While your correct that editors are not prohibited from editing subjects they are interested in, obviously because we all do that to some degree, that was never my argument and your fully aware of that. The question is if his interest has undermined those of the encyclopedia over the time of his edits, and I argue they have. You can debate that, but that to act like I was just going off about am editors normal, usual level of interest in a subject is massively disingenuous.
- Also, notice the COI article says "Any external relationship can trigger a conflict of interest." He doesn't have to paid for it to be a COI and it just has to be a relationship. Its proven that he was a relationship with the entity who's articles he edits through multiple things.
- 1. The fact that Bethel Music related stuff is mainly (only?) what his social media account contains and in a every "advertising" way. Not music or religious related stuff more generally. Again, establishing a relationship to that specific entity.
- 2. He only mainly (or only at the time you responded), works on articles related to Bethel Music. Again, not "music" or "religious" articles where some happen to be related to Bethel Music. Just articles about them. Again, its about having a relationship to the entity. The COI says that relationship can be religious. Its not my standard and its the one you cited.
- 3. Most if not all of the articles he writes are written in an extremely methodical, advertising way and he's posted multiple album covers that he claimed to have permission from Bethel Music to post. Neither of those things are easily hand waved away by "but, but, but..He's just interested in the subject." He wouldn't have permission from Bethel Music to post their copyrighted album covers without there being a relationship there. Even if it's just more a "I'm going to do this anyway without it" there's still a relationship based on the other things though. Plus, he wouldn't be methodically in an advertising manor writing articles on a single subject/company at the exclusion of everything else unless his intent was to advertise that company. That's a simple fact.
- I'm not sure what else would constitutes a COI if those things don't. Again, its Wikipedia's standards that you cited. Not mine. Feel free to hand wave it all away as him having a passing interest in the "topic" though. Also, I wouldn't call using his social media as an example stalking because it was easily findable with a Google search, it was public, and under the same user name. In fact its obvious he wanted other people to look at it and the Bethel Music stuff there. That's a big part of the issue. If that's considered stalking then anyone finding information about living persons on here would be considered stalking them. Btw, he also semi-sanitized his social media accounts of Bethel Music stuff right after my original comment about it to make it look like he wasn't that connect to them. Which is massively specious and another indicator of a COI IMO. No normal user would delete a bunch of stuff they are "interested in" from their social media accounts just because someone brings it up.
- I'll end with this, it's pretty ironic, but totally in line with the disingenuous way you have repeatedly handled things, that you told me take it up with him if I thought he had a conflict of interest and then when I did involved yourself in the discussion and attacked me for starting it. You should have let him defend himself. I seriously wonder why didn't and why decided to high jack the conversation by attacking me. Which gave him an out for not responding. If you really cared about other users not having COIs you think you would have stayed out of it. Especially considering your the one that told me to start this discussion. It's extremely specious. Plus, it makes me think your main concern is (and always has been) badgering other users over dealing with these things that actually improve the quality of articles and follow Wikipedia's guidelines. Otherwise, why did you get involved in the first place?
- One last thing and then I'll end it, notice that in the history of Kuda188's talk page (5 years now) he hasn't responded to a single message. Nor, that I have seen, has he ever responded to anything on a discussion page addressed to him or any discussion having to do with any of the articles he has created. Ask yourself this, is it more likely that someone with a "passing interest" of a topic just writing random pages wouldn't respond to anything in 5 years or that someone with a KOI who is only concerned with creating the pages (and maybe getting paid, or not it doesn't matter) and then calling it a day wouldn't respond to anything (probably because its not part the contract or whatever, but it could be other reasons like "well, I'm advertising this thing and that's all I feel like doing")? Which one makes more sense to you? If he really had a sincere interest in Bethel Music don't you think he'd be more involved in the discussion and other things there's been about them? How come he doesn't edit the Bethel Church or Bill Johnson pages ever? Why not other Christian music artists from other labels (there's been a few, but they were still linked to Bethel Music in some way)? How come he never commented on this page and said he didn't have a COI? It would have been pretty easy for him to respond to me and the other people accused him of it in the last few years. Feel free to respond to any of that or none of it. I could care less. As you have zero credibility when it comes to this at this point and could care less about your opinion. --Adamant1 (talk) 18:47, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all).

I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

The sad news was the 2019 Sri Lanka Easter bombings. The Top 6 most popular articles about People in WikiProject Christianity were:
- Louis XIV of France – a monarch of the House of Bourbon who reigned as King of France. He did say, "Every time I appoint someone to a vacant position, I make a hundred unhappy and one ungrateful."
- Mary, Queen of Scots – arrested for Reigning While Catholic (RWC), Mary was found guilty of plotting to assassinate Elizabeth I of England in 1586, and was beheaded the following year.
- Elizabeth I of England – The Virgin Queen, Elizabeth was the last of the five monarchs of the House of Tudor who ushered in the Elizabethan Era, reversed re-establishment of Roman Catholicism by her half-sister.
- Henry VIII of England – King of England, He was an accomplished musician, author, and poet; his known piece of music is "Pastime with Good Company". He is often reputed to have written "Greensleeves" but probably did not. He had six marriages.
- Martin Luther King Jr. –" There are three urgent and indeed great problems that we face not only in the United States of America but all over the world today. That is the problem of racism, the problem of poverty and the problem of war."
- Billy Ray Cyrus – Having released 12 studio albums and 44 singles since 1992, he is best known for his number one single "Achy Breaky Heart", which became the first single ever to achieve triple Platinum status in Australia.
... that the first attempt to build the Holy Trinity Cathedral of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra resulted in the demolition of the nearly completed structure?
Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral is a Gothic Revival three-spire cathedral in the city of Cork, Ireland. It belongs to the Church of Ireland and was completed in 1879. 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.

A suicide attack on July 11th claimed by Islamic State (IS) near a church in the Syrian city of Qamishli shows that Christians remain a major target of the terror group. The Top 6 most popular articles about People in WikiProject Christianity were:
- Henry VIII of England – King of England, He was an accomplished musician, author, and poet; his known piece of music is "Pastime with Good Company". He is often reputed to have written "Greensleeves" but probably did not. He had six marriages.
- Elena Cornaro Piscopia – was a Venetian philosopher of noble descent who in 1678 became one of the first women to receive an academic degree from a university, and the first to receive a Doctor of Philosophy degree. In 1669, she translated the Colloquy of Christ by Carthusian monk Lanspergius from Spanish into Italian.
- Mary, Queen of Scots – arrested for Reigning While Catholic (RWC), Mary was found guilty of plotting to assassinate Elizabeth I of England in 1586, and was beheaded the following year.
- Bob Dylan – American singer-songwriter, author, and visual artist. " Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them."
- Elizabeth I of England – The Virgin Queen, Elizabeth was the last of the five monarchs of the House of Tudor who ushered in the Elizabethan Era, reversed re-establishment of Roman Catholicism by her half-sister.
- Billy Ray Cyrus – Having released 12 studio albums and 44 singles since 1992, he is best known for his number one single "Achy Breaky Heart", which became the first single ever to achieve triple Platinum status in Australia.
... that The Vision of Dorotheus is one of the earliest examples of Christian hexametric poetry?
When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships is a 1999 book by 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 people not to be physically or emotionally intimate with others, but to wait for the spouse that 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 relationship with God. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly unchaste or sexually abused individuals.

@Ceethekreator: Hi, I don't see how this article is a copyright violation, given that the article refers to a notable event that does get media attention. The information on the website whose copyright you claim to have been violated is simply a list of nominations being honoured at the event. I simply cited the source for all the nominations of the Dove Awards. On the 61st Annual Grammy Awards article for instance, the nominations aren't even cited, yet the Academy listed the nominees with a copyright at the bottom of the page here. I need clarity on this, because how this is handled may affect future award shows, even past ceremonies which have been put up on Wikipedia.

A Song for Simeon, is a 37-line poem written in 1928 by American-English poet T. S. Eliot (1888–1965). It is one of five poems that Eliot contributed to the Ariel poems series of 38 pamphlets by several authors published by 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 Nunc dimittis, 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.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on St. John's Preparatory School (Zimbabwe), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.
