Lead for Anglican bishop articlesToday's featured article being Randall Davidson, I find him described in the lead as "an Anglican priest who was Archbishop of Canterbury". This styling appears, as far as I have determined, unique to certain AoC articles; Cosmo Lang is described as a "Scottish prelate", and every other Anglican bishop article I have checked either says "was/is a bishop" or "was/is bishop of diocese". I am getting a great deal of pushback on changing "priest" to anything else (or just saying that he was AoC) on the basis of some supposed consensus, where I cannot find any discussion of the point in the various article reviews. Can I get an opinion on this? Davidson was Dean of Windsor before being made bishop in two dioceses before his appointment to Canterbury, so I can see, perhaps, something besides "bishop", but since his notability is entirely dependent on higher office, describing him merely as "priest" seems eccentric.

I'm thinking yes; for one thing he was the Dean of the Cathedral in Cairo, and that alone should establish his notability in my view, but I would welcome the thoughts of others.

Instaurare (talk) 06:40, 25 April 2022 (UTC) User script to detect unreliable sourcesI have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}. The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed. Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable.

It was a fringe view held by maybe 4 or 5 Church Fathers (out of hundreds) but is depicted as the belief of the "majority of Early Church". See: Apocatastasis, Christian universalism, Origen, Gregory of Nyssa, and related articles. In fact the Apocatastasis article must be re-written almost in whole, I have left some comments on its talk page.

A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

They held an important and sometimes controversial role in post-war Evangelicalism in the UK, particularly in the Church of England, before closing in 2020 following abuse scandals. Existing coverage of the camps was in two articles - a rather fawning one on their founder E. J. H. Nash, and a sparser and rather controversy-heavy one on their parent body the Titus Trust. I've tried to balance both and fill in the gaps in the new article, but more eyes would be very much welcomed. TSP (talk) 12:25, 22 March 2024 (UTC) Should this project have a reliable sources list?Would it be valuable for editors to collaborate on a reliable sources list (a la these) for this WikiProject? It might be helpful to have some consistency with how we treat sources, particularly media outlets. A few initial thoughts: Perennial sources
Useful non-independent sources: Each of these is an official news source of an Anglican body, which limits their independence. However, they adhere to journalistic best practices. Per policy, these can be used to fill in uncontested details but not for controversial claims (in particular for controversial claims about their owners). Any content labeled opinion should not be used, nor should these be used to establish notability about an individual or institution within the church that controls them.
Use with care:
