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.
[edit] Background
[edit] 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).

[edit] Helping out
[edit] Current To-Do List:
CAST YOUR VOTE for the next collaboration
- Improving articles - Participate in the current collaboration, or pick an article from Category:Lutheranism and improve it.
- 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.
- 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.
[edit] Pictures to be added
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)
- Friedrich Tholuck (e.g. from German Wikipedia)
[edit] 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:
- 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
[edit] Article suggestions
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.
[edit] Theology
- Simul iustus et peccator (sv:Simul iustus et peccator)
- Examination of the Council of Trent by Martin Chemnitz
- Liquorist controversy(?) (sv:Likvoriststriden)
