Early modernity

[edit]

This is a section where the eastern-Orthodx Churches are missing: Byzantium was conquered by the Turks, Russia took over the mantle of the Roman Empire, with all the consequences for contemporary history... Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 07:13, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I went back and forth on this, but ended up leaving it out because the Cambridge history stopped their volume on the East at 1500. There are a few short mentions here and there - perhaps that's all there is? Perhaps this can go either way? Jenhawk777 (talk) 16:15, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! I'll work on it. Feel free to do so as well. Thank you again for all your work. Please take my recent edits as "less is more". I had to cut some. We added so much. Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:08, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I moved and added, is it sufficient do you think? There is very little source material available. Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:07, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bias

[edit]

Joshua Jonathan Thank you again for all the reorganization. You are clearly better at that than I am, and I am genuinely grateful for your input. There is no doubt the article looks and reads better. Since your work here means you can't review the next time I nominate, I want to take the opportunity to address all your concerns here.

In your comments on this article you made several accusations of bias, and I would like to ask you to specifically address those. I think all current views are included, but if you disagree, let's fix that.

Heresy has been expanded, but as one of my references says, it's hard to find anything that doesn't talk about it as identity formation these days. Are there other areas you think are problematic? You have been such a help - in spite of my speedy responses - that I want to be sure all your concerns are addressed. Thanx again, Jenhawk777 (talk) 20:15, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jenhawk777, I'll take a look again (later). Regards, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 04:54, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I've done the East too. Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:13, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Joshua Jonathan I would like to add the term "checkered" to the first sentence - The checkered history of Christianity... " but I'm concerned about bias. It's true, but is it not copacetic for WP? Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:03, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have a reference for it: page v of Bullies and Saints: An Honest Look at the Good and Evil of Christian History

by Dickson; he speaks of the "checkered moral history of Christianity" - would that do? Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:55, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Art

[edit]

Later sections are missing art, and there is a lot that can be said. The Catholic Church basically invented Baroque art. It will add more length! What do you all think? Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:12, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Use of questionable "Spread of Christianity to AD 600 - Atlas of World History.png"

[edit]

The "Spread of Christianity to AD 600 - Atlas of World History.png" file used in this article seems a bit dubious to me. Christianisation of Anglo-Saxon England explains, for example, how by 600 CE, the Augustinian Mission had only just about reached Kent and there was potentially not a single Christian Anglo-Saxon king. I can't speak for other regions that I know less about but it feels misleading to use this. Ingwina (talk) 20:22, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where is that Ingwina? I find no section with that title, no reference to an Atlas World History and no claims that seem incorrect. Can you explain further? Jenhawk777 (talk) 07:01, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry - it's under the "Spread and growth of Christianity" header. I should have made the file name clearer and will format it better now. Ingwina (talk) 08:43, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I believe you but using my f-function I still can't locate an Atlas of World History anywhere. Could you be using an older version? This is not a ref I used and I may have cut it. Do you have a ref # you could direct me too, or is it an image file? Could you tell me of what? Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:24, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Finally found the blinking thing in an image! I don't use any images that are not in Wikimedia, so I assume it is there, but I went ahead and removed it just because you questioned it. Better safe than sorry. Thanx. Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:50, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
