Articles with POV/verifiability issues
[edit]The following articles have POV and/or verifiability issues that need to be addressed:
- Theosis is a call for discussion that may need insider POV.
- Celtic Orthodox Church
- Macedonian Orthodox Church
- Belarusian Greek Catholic Church
- Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church
- Icon
- Development of the Old Testament canon Vital portion of church history needs rewriting with neutral sources. The article seems to have been written using mainly Protestant references and then halfheartedly nudged towards neutrality by Catholic sources. It also confuses the terms deuterocanon, apocrypha (agreed non-canonical by all), Apocrypha (section of Protestant Bible), and anagignoskomena.
Wanted or new articles
[edit]We're in need of several articles on liturgical items:
- Eastern Orthodox Processions - historical development of the various processions in Orthodoxy
- Eastern Orthodox Church Music
- Table of Preparation
- Lity
- Commemoration Book
- Eastern Orthodox worship - Under construction
As well as some other need topics:
- Eastern Orthodox Prayer - would cover information on private prayer in the Orthodox tradition
- Eastern Orthodox monasticism
- List of eparchies of Russian Orthodox Church (cf. list at ru-wiki)
- Christian views on contraception#Eastern Orthodoxy - Brief content has been added
Articles that need work
[edit]- Theoria - Almost completely abstruse and unreadable.
- Gregory Palamas - Such a pivotal saint of the Byzantine tradition deserves more.
- Trisagion - This article has just been entirely overhauled, and the text of the previously-separate Agios O Theos article merged into it. Please read through the new text and make improvements.
- Proskomedia - Article exists and is linked from portal; but could do with some further details on the meaning of the service and so forth.
- Kontakion - This article needs a lot of work, especially on the different types of kontakia, liturgical usage, etc.
- Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of ConstantinopleThis article needs a lot of work
- Most of the articles about athonite monasteries (linked to from the Template:Monasteries of Mount Athos). A few of the articles about the monasteries already contain some info but most are stubs.
- Emmanuel Lemelson - Article was in very good shape, well written, well referenced and capturing his religious leadership but since has been edited destructively. This version of January 6 was quite good: [1]. The subject is prominent patriarchal priest and one of most prominent Orthodox clerics (major and regular media coverage and appearances of his religious leadership work). Since last edit referenced previously, there has been something of an attack on the page, designed to remove notable content and references and insert inaccurate and trivial content in its place.
