Talk:Christian media

icu-triage

Additional sources needed; expansion of each section to include examples.

Under Christian Television I have added the words - such as Australian Christian Channel, and linked to the same. Kathleen.wright5 24:15, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Under Christian Newspapers I have added the words - also Christian examiner and The Christian Post, and linked to the same. Kathleen.wright5 01:48, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Good job as always, Kathleen. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 08:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Merge?

I do not support the merge with Christian music industry. This article covers more than just music. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 01:09, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Christian Books?

I'm surprised there's not a section about Christian books. For example, I know of the Left Behind series. --Marc Kupper|talk 08:42, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Christian TV, Christian television, Religious broadcasting.

Shouldn't Christian TV redirect to Religious broadcasting. That article is linked from this page as Christian television, why was Christian TV redirected here instead? Fixer23 (talk) 09:17, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Wiki Education assignment: Hacking Ministry

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 11 January 2022 and 21 April 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Tlmackey (article contribs).

Anti-Christian

The article ought to refrain from referencing the Book of Mormon Musical or the South Park episode, as these works have been perceived as explicitly anti-Christian[1] [2]. This exclusion is important, considering the article explicitly focuses on the "cross-media genre that features a Christian message or moral." Since none of these projects conveys a 'Christian message,' it is advisable to either remove or relocate them to a different article. LuxembourgLover (talk) 15:01, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

For The Book of Mormon, I think The_Book_of_Mormon_(musical)#Themes_and_references is a good description of how the musical is not only anti-Christian, and is appropriate for this article.-- Cerebral726 (talk) 15:09, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Request to update link to list of Church apps

I made an update to the Christian media page to swap a link from having 5 year old link of an outdated list of Church apps to a new link that has an always up to date source of apps for churches. I also chose to do this because the link that exists currently is apps for Christians in general, not just for churches, which is what the text is referencing.

The old link: https://www.cornerstonesf.org/top-20-christian-apps-we-recommend/

The new link: https://faith.tools/For-Churches

Please reconsider this change. You can find the change here, which was reverted immediately.

I acknowledge that I created faith.tools, and I acknowledge that Wikipedia does a no referrer link anyways. If anyone should care about this, it's the one who created the curated and updated list of the church apps. Please reconsider re-instating the change. Thanks!

@MrOllie, you asked me to write a talk comment on here. Can you please review my comment. Thank you! Cameronpak (talk) 17:41, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

No, we are not going to replace a citation with linkspam. MrOllie (talk) 17:42, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Tell me more about why you think it is linkspam, @MrOllie Cameronpak (talk) 17:43, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Your site does not remotely approach meeting Wikipedia's sourcing requirements, and adding your own sites is clearly WP:SPAMing behaviour as Wikipedia defines it. That said, the cornerstones blog wasn't much better. I removed the whole thing as unreliably sourced/product namedropping. MrOllie (talk) 17:44, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Is not Wikipedia itself a collection of synthesized information and links from the internet?

If so, how does this not count? I don't get credit for this. I don't a backlink for this. Since there's little benefit besides accurate information for this change I'm requesting, I'm confused on your decision.

It feels reactive versus a conversation. My question to you is... was my link misinformation? @MrOllie Cameronpak (talk) 17:50, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia is a collection of synthesized information and links from the internet, which is why Wikipedia is not able to be cited on Wikipedia. Your link being truthful or not is irrelevant. Please see WP:Reliable sources. Cerebral726 (talk) 18:16, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Propaganda

This entire page is Evangelical propaganda. "Misconceptions" about Christian media proselytizing? Debunked by Christian media leaders?

I had to stop reading just because of how gross it kept feeling. It feels like something out of a church newsletter.

Nothing about this is neutral and it heavily favors the Christian nationalist agenda. Ieditthethings (talk) 01:14, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

• Ieditthethings, first I thought you were overexaggerating; now I merely think you read really odd church newsletters--the ones I read don't have a million sources about odd factoids. I followed your lead. Drmies (talk) 01:31, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

  For a sec I thought you were mocking me before I saw your edits. :) I grew up in an evangelical Christian nationalist cult so I did see a lot of really odd church newsletters.

  Thank you so much for your work. I almost didn't know if I was even looking at the same article! Bravo. Ieditthethings (talk) 03:22, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
