Some Wikipedians have gathered together to form a concerted effort to improve the quality and organization of information on Wikipedia relating to Lutheranism. This page - and its related subpages - contain some suggestions for how to go about this task. If you are interested in helping but don't know where to begin, you can look at the "To-do list" below or the Project talk page. As always, please sign up as a participant so that we know who is helping.

This goal of this WikiProject is to improve quality of the information available on Wikipedia about Lutheranism. This includes articles on famous Lutherans, Lutheran churches, and Lutheran theology. It is a further goal of this Wikiproject to help to make this information as well-organized and accessible as possible. Most articles covered under the scope of this Project can be found in Category:Lutheranism and related sub-categories (see the category tree below).

There are still plenty of unused pictures in wikimedia commons.

• Gottlieb Christoph Adolf von Harless (e.g. from German Wikipedia)
• Friedrich Tholuck (e.g. from German Wikipedia)

If you happen to notice a great article in different language wikipedia, list it here with a link to the original, and a note about the topic. We will then find translators as we need them (the German wikipedia is probably not a bad place to look for some good Lutheranism articles).

List articles that could be translated here:

• Hermann Sasse has a small stub of an English article, while http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Sasse is over 1,000 words. The German one should be translated and posted over the English.

• The Danish-Halle Mission, should be mentioned here as it is a Lutheran Mission and some regard it as the first organised Protestant Mission at all. There is a German article:http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A4nisch-Hallesche_Mission

A good place to look for article ideas, and also articles to be translated, is the German-language Wikipedia, especially the Category Martin Luther and the Category Lutheranism.

• Simul iustus et peccator (sv:Simul iustus et peccator)
• Examination of the Council of Trent by Martin Chemnitz
• Liquorist controversy(?) (sv:Likvoriststriden)

More articles are needed on the pivotal writings of Martin Luther, some suggestions:

• Lectures on Galatians (Martin Luther)
• Two Kinds of Righteousness
• Wittenberg Postil or Eight Sermons from Wittenberg or Invocavit Sermons
• Others?

• Johann Friedrich König
• Joachim Lütkemann
• Heinrich Müller (theologian) (de:Heinrich Müller (Theologe), sv:Heinrich Müller (teolog))

• Rudolf Rocholl (de:Rudolf Rocholl) [1][2]
• Ernst Sartorius [3][4]

• Werner Elert (de:Werner Elert)
• Jürgen Diestelmann
• Jobst Schöne (de:Jobst Schöne)
• Regin Prenter (da:Regin Prenter)
• Bengt Hägglund (sv:Bengt Hägglund)
• Tuomo Mannermaa (fi:Tuomo Mannermaa, de:Tuomo Mannermaa)

• Lazarus Spengler (de:Lazarus Spengler, sv:Lazarus Spengler)
• Martin Rinckart (de:Martin Rinckart)

• An Article on the Formula missae
• 16th century liturgical controversy in Church of Sweden(?) (sv:Liturgiska striden)
• Nuremberg-Brandenburgian church order(?) by Andreas Osiander and Johannes Brenz (maybe important also as an background for Prussian Old Lutherans and their resistance)

• Östanbäck monastery (sv:Östanbäcks kloster) [5]
• Alsike convent (sv:Alsike kloster) [6]

Articles on various Lutheran churches/denominations are needed, some suggestions:
