I am not asking for a list necessarly. But if I had one example I could guess what you are talking about and thus the issuses at hand. --Carlaude (talk) 00:23, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
OK, I will get you a list. Spalds (talk) 00:26, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi, sorry I missed that it's an SPA...I was on a 'welcoming spree' :-) Oh well, cheers, Chzz ► 03:29, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
The templates were probably added by me. The reasoning is as follows.
One. Believe it or not, the Christianity project considers the latter day saint movement to be a form of Christianity. As such, it would be useful to the project to have an idea as to what content related to the LDS churches is out there. It would be particularly useful for the article alerts function, which lets us keep track of articles proposed for peer review, deletion, and the like. We can and will try to create similar article alert updates for the various other projects as well. Unfortunately, those functions work primarily on the basis of banner placement, so we need the banner there.
Two. The Christianity banner provides separate importance assessments for each related project, so those projects can keep track of the content related to them at the same time the main project does. Also, it makes it easier for the quality levels to be kept updated, because they're done in the same banner.
Third. Before I started concentrating on replacing banners, I was trying to assess all the articles relevant to Christianity by category, as can be seen at User:John Carter/Christianity assessments. I still hope to return to that after consolidating the banners, and it's generally easier to only have to remember to update one banner as opposed to several.
Personally, I am hoping to get all the banners for the various specifically Christian projects removed and replaced with the main Christianity project banner, because that will allow for easier article alerts for the child projects as well. But that's going to take a lot of time. I've still got several banners to go for several projects yet.
I guess my answer to your question on the Christianity WikiProject's talk page is that I hope in time all those articles will have the Christianity banner, but am less than sure how quickly I will be able to replacing them all. If of course you would prefer the banners be kept separate, or deem the Christianity project banner unnecessary, please let me know, and I'll cease any further activity. Thank you.

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 17:29, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
You are, but alot of people will not consider Mormonism a form of Christianity, a view i support for personal reasons: However, removing the LDA church tags altogether also removes them from coverage on the Wikiproject for Mormonism, which is seperate from christinaties project for the reasons i mentioned and because that wikiproject is for Christianity in general, a better solution is ot place both on it, because your not just removing the tags and putting the temples under the Christianity watch, your REMOVING areticles that deal intensly with the LDS from the LDS projects watch and coverage. --Jakezing (Your King (talk) 21:47, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
The trigger changed to "tokyo=yes" - So I added "tokyo=yes" to the template for the Tokyo temple article WhisperToMe (talk) 22:05, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
You're removing the WP:LDS template and replacing it with ((ChristianityWikiProject)) – you need to tag them ((ChristianityWikiProject|latter-day-saint-movement=yes)) at the very least – or preferably ((WikiProject Christianity|class=|importance=|latter-day-saint-movement=yes|latter-day-saint-movement-importance=)) – otherwise they just go into a generic "Christian themes" category. John Carter did explain this above; they need to either keep the separate LDS banner, or include that |latter-day-saint-movement=yes in the template. – iridescent 22:50, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
((WikiProject Christianity|class=|importance=|latter-day-saint-movement=yes|latter-day-saint-movement-importance=))
You can then add the appropriate class and importance ratings after the appropriate "=" signs. John Carter (talk) 23:09, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Re your comment at WP Germany and as it looks like a lot of other projects. Whatever country a particular temple is in falls under the WP of that country. So yes, just leave the importance setting to the members of the country project, although unless you are talking Utah most temples will be classed as low importance for the country projects so you would not go far wrong. There will be very notable exceptions but I imagine the article will give a good hint on why a particular temple was to be of national importance as viewed by outsiders.

WikiProjects sometimes have templates and sometimes they don't. If a WikiProject does not have a template, they use their parent WikiProject's template (i.e. ((WikiProject Africa|Ghana=yes))) . However, some WikiProjects have both types, the one in the example and their own template. Which one should I use? Spalds (talk) 17:29, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Does this mean that WP united states (if such a WikiProject exists) would also be listed in an article about a building the united states? Spalds (talk) 17:43, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
WP Central Asia covers China, but is Hong Kong included? Technically, Hong Kong is part of China, but China doesn't treat Hong Kong like the rest of China. Spalds (talk) 22:08, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Use Template:WikiProject Hong Kong or Template:WikiProject Macau as relevant for those areas. John Carter (talk) 22:12, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed you've made edits to articles related to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and thought you might be interested in participating in the LDS Church work group, part of the Latter Day Saint movement WikiProject. The group aims to serve as a hub for collaboration on Church-related articles. You don't have to be a member of the Church to participate, and the only requirement for active membership is that you edit at least one Church-related article per month. Best wishes! —Eustress talk 21:00, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Right now, the LDS banner also provides quality assessments for the Christianity project, if not importance assessments. So, in effect, any articles tagged with the LDS banner are also assessed for the Christianity project. Having said that, the LDS banner doesn't allow for priority rating for the Christianity project, while the Christianity banner does provide such for the LDS projects, so my personal choice would be to use the Christianity banner with the LDS tag rather than the LDS banner. I hope to, eventually, remove all the banners of the daughter projects and replace them with the Christianity banner, although with 30000 articles that would be a lot of work. So any such article should probably be tagged with one banner or the other, although I myself would prefer using the Christianity banner because of the greater functionality.

Hi. For articles about members of the LDS Church that require disambiguation, the LDS Manual of Style says "(Mormon)" is used. For those who were notable prior to the 1844 succession crisis, "(Latter Day Saints)" is used. I've reversed a couple of moves you made to members who are notable only as LDS Church members, not as pre-succession crisis Latter Day Saints. I know this has been controversial in the past, but it's where things have settled for now. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:32, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your help tagging numerous articles. Some other ideas for contributing to WP:LDS are listed on the work group's page on the To Do list, or you could solicit more ideas on one of the work group's talk pages. But since we've got a lot of housekeeping items pretty well squared away now, it would be a good time to work on improving all the articles we now have tagged--probably starting with the most important ones.
Looking forward to continuing to work with you! —Eustress talk 02:13, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Can you help me? I work at the Church Office Building. Elder Bruce C. Hafen has some concerns about his Wiki biography (Bruce C. Hafen). He has asked me to help. The last two sentences of his biography were pasted from the Salt Lake Tribune following his Evergreen address on same-gender attraction. He feels that the two sentences that have been added need more context. He has given me some sentences to add that essentially include the content that is currently while providing additional context. His suggested text has supporting citations (those being the LDS.org Newsroom transcript of his talk and his biography as posted on the LDS.org Newsroom). I'm not sure what is the best way to start.CedricMalone (talk) 19:55, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
I have removed your proposed hook, "... that Richard Nibley was one of the original orchestra members in the Mormon Miracle Pageant?", from the queue. DYK procedure is to add a newly proposed hook to the Suggestions page where it will be reviewed by other editors before it can be put into the queue. You must not add your own hooks to the queue directly. I look forward to your positive contributions in the future. - Dravecky (talk) 07:37, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Hey - I hope you're ok with me including that in the template so it will automatically update when someone changes the status from Announced or Under Construction - let me know if you have any suggestions. --Trödel 02:04, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello Spalds. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User talk:218.253.82.241, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The reason given is not a valid speedy deletion criterion. Thank you. The WordsmithCommunicate 21:08, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
I added the listing of "John Wadsworth" to the business section. He is the President of Tahitian Noni as I stated with the source. However, He is NOT the John Wadsworth that is linked to on another wikipedia page. I tried to remove the hyperlink on his name two or three times but the incorrect hyperlink is attached again after I delete it. Please help me fix this. ````Timlewellen

Just to let you know, emeritus general authorities of the LDS Church are still general authorities, so when someone is made an emeritus GA in 2010, it's not appropriate to say in their bio that they ceased being a GA in 2010. They are released from the First Quorum of the Seventy but are never released as a general authority. Good Ol’factory (talk) 09:02, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
I have no affiliation with Gary Herbert or any of his political opponents as implied by other users.
