Some Wikipedians have gathered together 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).

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.

1. Improving articles - 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.

There are still plenty of unused pictures in wikimedia commons.

• Christian Scriver (e.g. from Nordisk familjebok)
• Friedrich Julius Stahl (e.g. from Nordisk familjebok)
• August Friedrich Christian Vilmar (e.g. from Nordisk familjebok)
• Gottlieb Christoph Adolf von Harless (e.g. from German Wikipedia)
• Wilhelmi Malmivaara Possible source??

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

• 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

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.

• 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:

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

• Jürgen Diestelmann
• Jobst Schöne (de:Jobst Schöne)
• Bengt Hägglund (sv:Bengt Hägglund)
• Hans Asmussen (de:Hans Asmussen)
• Gene E. Veith
• Arthur Carl Piepkorn

• Lutheran music
• 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)

• Alsike convent (sv:Alsike kloster) [2]

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

• Evangelical Lutheran Church in Romania
• Illinois Lutheran Conference
• Evangelical Lutheran Church of Jordan and the Holy Land - needed especially because the president of the LWF comes from ELCJHL!

Articles are needed for many of the synods of the ELCA. Articles for the ELCIC synods
