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.

Background

Scope

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).

Participants

Join the fun -- add yourself as a participant in WikiProject Lutheranism. Please sign using this format: {{user2|UserName}} for plain old users, {{admin|UserName}} for admins, and {{formeradmin|UserName}} for former admins. Thank you.

Helping out

Current To-Do List:

The current WikiProject Lutheranism Collaboration article is Lucas Cranach the Elder.
Help us improve the information about Lutheranism on Wikipedia.
CAST YOUR VOTE for the next collaboration
  1. Improving articles - Participate in the current collaboration, or pick an article from Category:Lutheranism and improve it.
  2. Invite new editors to be participants in the project.
  3. Category:Lutheranism and the sub-cats need some dedicated work (see talk page).
  4. Write a stub - or better yet a full article! - for one of the suggested articles.
  5. Continue to check that {{WikiProject Lutheranism}} is on all relevant articles.
  6. Continue to re-check article importance & quality, and re-assess as necessary.
  7. Regularly review the recent changes in this project's articles for improvements, vandalism, and other changes.

Pictures to be added

There are still plenty of unused pictures in wikimedia commons.

Translations

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:
  • Peder Palladius deserves an article in the English Wikipedia, but he doesn't even have a stub. There is, however, a considerably large article at http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peder_Palladius that could be translated. There is some stuff written about him in English on Google Books: [1]
  • The following Lutheran Martyrs have articles in the German Wikipedia but lack articles in the English Wikipedia:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caspar_Tauber
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_von_Zütphen
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonhard_Kaiser
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonius_Corvinus
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_van_Esschen
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendrik_Vos

Article suggestions

Sometimes, you just have to find a nice, quiet place to settle in and get to work.

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.
