thread_title:  [[Alleged tomb of Jesus]] 

message: After reading some comments on the historical background page, I noticed that there is no article on the "historical Jesus"; I have therefore written User:Ben Standeven/Historical Jesus. It currently relies almost entirely on the canonical gospels, since I don't know anything about critical interpretations of the apocryphal ones. I would appreciate comments on this; does anyone think it should be moved into the article suite? Ben Standeven 02:16, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Outline of Jesus articles 

message: I'd like to start working together and strategizing on an approach to building on the success we've achieved in the 1st three paragraphs of the Jesus article. Anyone game? --CTSWyneken 00:50, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Do we have a master list of all articles related to Jesus? It might be good to compile one. Another idea would be to check and see what standard encyclopedias include, check against the Jesus article and try to limit the content to such. We would then make sure all subarticles are linked to the main Jesus article and suggest moving excess detail to one of them. Then.... Sound like a plan? --CTSWyneken 13:12, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know about a master list, but the outline I mention in the section above lists all the articles I know of on the subject. If I'm missing any, feel free to add them. Aiden's done some work on the life and teachings/bio section based off of the outline. It can also be found at Talk:Jesus/Related articles. Grigory Deepdelver AKA Arch O.

thread_title:  Can we get discussion Going? 

message: Ive started a discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Bible#Content forking and the Bible about whether having articles about John 20, Matthew 27, Luke 23, and Mark 15, as well as articles about the Passion and the Death of Jesus, constitutes content forking, or is otherwise a bad idea.
I was hoping some people might join the discussion there and tell me whether you agree with my stance or not. Clinkophonist 13:55, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Content forking with Chapters 

message: Its a good article but the title is a bit awkward.
It seems to assert that Jesus existed (which Historicity of Jesus claims is disputed rather than universally agreed upon fact), and that its content is a completely factual reconstruction of exactly who Jesus was (c.f. various Christian groups disputing this).
What it does not contain is Historical critical analysis of the Bible and early Christian traditions in order to assertain scientifically how much of the Biblical description of Jesus is likely to be true, and a reconstruction of the significant details of Jesus' life based upon this
What it actually contains is a Scientific reconstruction of the day to day life of a person of similar cultural background to Jesus living in the same time period and carrying out a similar style of ministry. But that isn't a very good title - its far too long for a start.
I think the article desperately needs renaming, but Im not sure what people think would be more descriptive in regards to its content? Clinkophonist 14:56, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Or is there someone else still taking part in this WikiProject? Clinkophonist 20:10, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Am I the only one actually still alive? 

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 18:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wikipedia Day Awards 

message: In the 'Jesus' discussion page there has been some discussion regarding whether that page should be more neutral rather than being slanted primarily toward Christianity. I in fact just set up a poll to gauge opinion as to how the topic should be introduced in that article. If anybody monitoring this discussion wishes to register an opinion in that poll please do so.

thread_title: Poll regarding the 'Jesus' article

message: Hi all.  I'd like to recommend that this inactive project be converted to a task force of WikiProject Christianity, which would help by providing the relevant infrastructure, and letting you get on with fixing the articles.  I've suggested to WP:X that they contact you concerning this as well.

thread_title:  Conversion to task force? 

message: It has been suggested, given the large number of Christianity projects and other projects out there (such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Prophets of Islam and some of the Judaic projects) which all have a pronounced interest in articles relating specifically to Jesus, that a specific work group (probably under the aegis of Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity be created to facilitate cooperation on all the articles directly relating to Jesus. Any individuals who would be interested in taking part in such a work group should indicate as much at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Christianity#Proposed merger. Thank you for your attention.
