  • Don't bite the newbies
  • Use the discussion boards and talk pages on the articles. (Don't go nuts with the delete button.)

  • Do not give or take offense to remarks. Turn the Other Cheek.
  • Please strive to cite sources, using documents that are published by approved sources.

General strategy and discussion forums

In the initial setup phases for this project, the main forum for now will be the Project's talk page. As the project develops, discussion may be moved to other areas.

  • /Terminology: Discussion forum for terminology and translation issues. Now starting a discussion of "Catholic vs. Roman Catholic.
  • /Strategy: Strategy and structure. For policy discussions on how to title articles, how to categorise, etc.
  • /Community: Noticeboard for editors interested in articles about Catholicism. Basically, a community forum: use it to list articles you'd like other participants to take a look at or get a second opinion on, call attention to content disputes, post alerts, or advertise your willingness to meet up in (e.g.) Rome next month.

To Do List

Overhaul Category

The Roman Catholic Church category is a total mess. I am prepared to put in significant effort to do a major reorganization. First, let's agree to a category tree structure. This is my initial proposal. Let's talk it out. Articles that don't fit nicely into subcategories will go into the overarching category. For instance, "History of monasticism" may go into "Roman Catholic Church History and Politics," since it doesn't fall neatly into any of the subcategories.MamaGeek (Talk/Contrib) 14:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category Tree

Why is theology and doctrine underneath Roman Catholic worship? It surely deserves to be seperate. JASpencer 19:25, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That was exactly my thought as well. Amicuspublilius 15:00, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Catholic Saint Update

I've added some more on stigmata, but there really is a whole lot more to be done here. Anyway, take a look at what I've got so far. We also need more citations, and better referencing in this article. MamaGeek  TALK  CONTRIB  17:36, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Catholic Theology

Please double check this, it has been edited by myself and others. The general article needs revising, but insofar as Catholic dogma is concerned, I find it to be adaquate at this point. Am I wrong?Amicuspublilius 03:08, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It looks adequate to me, as far as the Catholic position goes. Anybody else? Cheyinka 08:27, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Encyclicals

There is a List of Encyclicals of Pope John Paul II. Below are the ones that need work/ need to be started. Most of the ones that exist are only stubs, and all can use significant work.

Catholic People

Miscellaneous

I just created the stub - it still needs lots of work, though. MamaGeek  TALK  CONTRIB  12:55, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please check this as well, I restructured and placed a TO-DO in the discussion. The main point is to find a way to deal with the group of Catholic "hits" on Freemasons in a balanced manner. In any case I gave it a massive overhaul. Amicuspublilius 04:30, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for Narration

Need any narrations?Go ahead and add any article!--Tdxiang 陈 鼎 翔 (Talk)ContributionsContributions Chat with Tdxiang on IRC! 09:36, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Catholic Encyclopedia

I think we should jump in on the effort to copy all Catholic Encyclopedia articles to Wikipedia. MamaGeek  TALK  CONTRIB  12:22, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not verbatim of course. It almost always contains a distinct POV and is frequently out of date. See Wikipedia:Catholic Encyclopedia topics for more guidelines about how to convert Catholic articles into Wikipedia ones. savidan(talk) (e@) 16:03, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Popes

Especially for some of the earlier Popes we have a lot of stubs and poorly organized articles. We have public domain Catholic Encyclopedia and the 1911 Britannica to be working with on these—I doubt things have changed much. savidan(talk) (e@) 00:23, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Catholic Church Main-Page Project

There has been a great deal of discussion on Talk:Catholic Church about re-organiaing the page. Most recently this began with a proposal by Dominick to merge the Catholic, Criticisms of the Catholic Church and Roman Catholic Church pages. There is a lot of merit in this approach and with some gradual persuasion of opponents we may eventually make progress toward having an article or two under the Catholic Church's name. I believe some real progross has been made recently on the Roman Catholic Church/Name page.

In the meantime, there is a great deal of cleaning up to do on the CC (RCC) mainpage. I have begun an initial clean up by moving excessive content to other articles and referencing them under their section headings on the CC page. In some cases I have created new articles by drawing together material from disparate locations and reorganizing it into a more coherent single article.

When we have cleared up the naming issue, which as I mentioned above is in the works, I believe that Cathlicism on WP could have its own portal as Eastern Christianity has done recently to good effect.

The topic of Catholicism as you all know is vast, perhaps meriting its own Wikipedia (as it already has its own encyclopedia in two editions) one day. Here are some topics I have thought of that could be organized an referenced on the CC page and eventually on a Catholicism portal. Many already exist under different titles or in stub form. The idea is to get them all tied into the main page for ease of reference for the user. Please feel free to add to the list or make modifications to reference articles already in existence or that you have created.
