Talk:World Youth Day

message: When is the location for the next World Youth Day announced? Any future locations already named should certainly be mentioned on this page. KBurchfiel (talk) 21:39, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Future locations? 

message: In answer to "is this mostly original research" - a lot of the content of the page does seem to be based upon the USCCB page http://www.usccb.org/laity/youth/wydoverview.shtml - I have added that as an external link for now. Not sure if it is copyvio or whether it should be a reference instead of / as well as an external link. 80.168.225.120 20:14, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Would it be possible to add the logotypes for the different world youth days?
 
I think those should go on the articles for the individual World Youth Days. Except those pages don't exist yet... TheCoffee 19:55, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Is there a risk of this conference being confused with the World Youth Festival? (The 16:th of which is being held in Venezuela this year.) -- ABostrom 20:52, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
:Suggest name change to Catholic World Youth Day to clarify, and to prevent appearance of Catholic-centric bias.  67.84.168.29 03:46, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think World Youth Day is the official name and many people know it by that name. Anyway, I changed the first sentence to clarify that the WYD is a Roman Catholic celebration. --Jojit fb 03:58, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  World Youth Festival 

message: WYD is an annual gathering.  It happens internationally every 4 years but doesn't mean it doesn't happen at all at other years. NYD (National Youth Day), however, happens every 4 years as well as Asian Youth Day.

message: This concerns POV tag cleanup.  Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it.  This permits discussion and consensus among editors.  This is a drive-by tag, which is discouraged in WP, and it shall be removed. Future tags should have discussion posted as to why the tag was placed, and how the topic might be improved.  Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements.  This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags.  No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 21:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There have been a number of criticisms of WYD during and after Sydney that I'm aware of - there's absolutely no reference to these viewpoints that I can find in the current article.  Weird.  Actually the numerous arguments on this Talk page are not reflected in the article. So I am considering inserting a POV template on "issue of balance and the lack of a WP:Neutral point of view" GerixAu  (talk) 05:54, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

message: I wasn't sure where to put this, but there really should be an individual page for each World Youth Day, not just the more recent ones. -99.54.142.100 (talk) 01:40, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Individual WYD pages 

message: The name is CATHOLIC CHURCH not "Roman Catholic Church", that does not exist. In the Catholic Church there are Roman Catholics, Greek Catholics, Maronites and many others, but WYD day is for the youth of them all - they are all onder one pope.

thread_title:  Catholic Church 

message: I find no mention of Regnum Christi in this article which makes we wonder as to the need for a non-Catholic editor to review both facts and sources selected as the history is entangled with the child-abuse scandal and efforts to revise history. The Regnum_Christi article is peculiar for no mention of World Youth Day. See Marcial Maciel and Stanislaw_Dziwisz.
The ECyD article is not so careful to have no mention of WYD and care should be taken that no edit elide that mention.
Researchers on the web should search for "Wyd Regnum Christi" to form an idea of how egregious this historical revision truly is as they very often use the acronym in their web-accessible documents.
Contrary to what one article would have the reader believe, full documentation of the 2011 decisions vis. LC and RC are available on the web with published links at both LC and RC sites.
Until amended and supplemented, this article is fully deserving of a POV tag. An article on Wyd without mention of RC and LC is ludicrous.

message: We need a lot more on the world youth days before 1995. A number are notable. Don't just delete info because it is unsourced.
