Inactive participants
[edit]Helping out
[edit]Current To-Do List:
[edit]- Lutheranism articles in Draft: Current list is here.
- Invite new editors to be participants in the project.
- Category:Lutheranism and the sub-cats need some dedicated work (see talk page).
- Write a stub - or better yet a full article! - for one of the suggested articles or one of the articles found in other reference sources, but not here. A list of some such pages can be found here.
- Continue to check that {{WikiProject Lutheranism}} is on all relevant articles.
- Continue to re-check article importance & quality, and re-assess as necessary.
- Regularly review the recent changes in this project's articles for improvements, vandalism, and other changes.
Pictures to be added
[edit]- There are still plenty of unused pictures in c:Category:Lutheranism.
Translations
[edit]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). If you know of a German article you'd like someone else to translate, you can post it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki/German#Missing article directory, under either the Cultural, Buildings, Biography topics.
- List articles that could be translated here:
- Hermann Sasse has a small English article, while de:Hermann Sasse is over 1,000 words. The German one could be translated and added to the English article.
- The following Lutheran Martyrs have articles in the German Wikipedia but lack articles in the English Wikipedia:
- The following Lutheran women have articles in the German Wikipedia but lack articles in the English Wikipedia:
- Ursula Cotta, see article in the German Wikipedia: de:Ursula Cotta (c. 1450–1511), influenced Martin Luther's attitude toward women
- Johanna Eleonora Petersen, article in German: de:Johanna Eleonora Petersen (1644-1724), Pietist writer
- Elisabeth Schmitz, article in German: de:Elisabeth Schmitz (1893-1977), unsuccessfully attempted to prod the Confessing Church to take a stance in favor of Jews during the Nazi era.
- Eva von Tiele-Winckler (1866-1930), article in German: de:Eva von Tiele-Winckler, deaconess who founded a deaconess house
- Henriette Maria Luise von Hayn, article in German Henriette Maria Luise von Hayn, wrote "I Am Jesus' Little Lamb"--The original text in German begins with "de:Weil ich Jesu Schäflein bin"
- German hymn articles without English versions. For more candidates for possible translation, see the list of hymns in the Protestant Songbook (in German))
- Norwegian hymn articles without English versions. For more candidates for possible translation, see List of hymns in the Norsk salmebok 2013 (in Norwegian)
- no:Gir'ko-sál'bmagir'ji (Sami)
- no:Salbmagirji (Sami)
- no:Hill_deg,_Frelser_og_forsoner (also in Danish)
- "Mighty God, to thy dear name be given"[1] has an article in Norwegian: no:Herre_Gud,_ditt_dyre_navn_og_ære, but not in English
- and the Children's songs, "Jesus is mine and I am his" : no:Jesus_er_min_og_jeg_er_hans and "Thy Little Ones, Dear Lord are We": no:Her kommer dine arme små
- Many Swedish hymn articles can be found in this list in Swedish: sv:Lista_över_psalmer_efter_innehåll Some of the ones that haven't been translated yet include:
- For Finnish hymn articles to translate, see the List of hymns in the 1986 Finnish hymnal (list is in Finnish)
- For Danish hymn articles to translate, see the List of hymns in the 2003 Danish Songbook (list is in Danish)
Article suggestions
[edit]
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. Another good place to look is the Wikiproject Lutheranism Prospectus.
