I'd like to start on an article on Roman Catholicism. I've never written an encyclopedia article before, and certainly not on a subject so broad. I suppose it should be mostly historical, as things like dogma, liturgy, theology, etc. are primarily historical (they play out in history), but I imagine this would be unwieldy. I guess I'd like to spearhead a conversation about how the article should be structured.
I'd like to avoid the wikipedia article if I can. Also, I am a Roman Catholic and rounding out a Masters degree in theology from a Catholic university. So I'm rather excited to be working on this article! --Adam P. Verslype 00:50, 14 March 2007 (CDT)
- There's an article here on Catholicism already, so there's probably scope to create a large article on the Catholic Church in general, and smaller articles on the Roman church and each of the other 20-odd churches in communion with Rome.
- Unfortunately for your intentions, the articles at Wikipedia are actually of pretty good quality, so it's going to be hard to create a good article on the Roman Catholic Church de novo. However, given your qualifications, you're probably better-placed to do so than most. Anthony Argyriou 18:47, 27 March 2007 (CDT)
