Some Wikipedians have formed Wikiproject Bible to better organize information in articles related to The Bible. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians.
As a group, we do not prefer any particular tradition or interpretation of the Bible, but endeavor that all Biblical teachings, historical accounts, and prophecy are fairly and accurately represented. If you'd like to join and become a part of this project, sign the Membership Page.
Adopted Topic, where a suite of topically related articles are targeted for improvement until there's a consensus to move on to a new topic. (see here)
Article Review, for articles nominated by members for wider review. In this case the new ones go at the top and sink as new ones are added. (see here)
Improve the {{WikiProject Bible}} banner that goes at the head of Talk Pages to handle tags for unreferenced, copyedit needed, cleanup needed, expansion needed, and POV warning.
Add more reward templates or barnstars (awards can be found here, and have people in the task force actually watching logs and rewarding key contributors.
Assess the articles that fall within the project's scope through the Assessment unit, making it easier to know how the various articles with which the project deals with stand.

If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged or categorized (e.g. Category:WikiProject Bible articles) correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.
The following articles within the scope of this project have been selected by the Version 1.0 Editorial Team for inclusion in one or more release versions.

11 easy steps to producing at least a B article
Starting from scratch and want to know how to take it from "0 to 60"? Follow these helpful tips! Some parts are also useful for already-existing articles.
Since categories at the bottom of the articles interwiki linked in your article may be appropriate to place in your article, go through each interwiki link in your article and review the categories at the bottom of the linked article for inclusion in your article.
Confirm that the interwiki links, footnotes, and external (non-wiki) links in your article go where you want them to go.
Post an article request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for each broken (red) interwiki link in your article OR remove the double brackets around the broken interwiki link OR write that article as well (these are your only three choices).
As with any Wikipedia project, be aware of other sources and consolidate information in the appropriate places. Collaborate with related projects, wikis, and websites and be respectful of people's differing opinions. See particularly WikiProjects Judaism and Countering systemic bias in religion
Please discuss any goal changes in the talk page. For reference, there is also an archive of this topic.

EncycloPetey (talk) 03:56, 10 December 2011 (UTC) Since I'm working, I might as well list myself. I have a minor in Biblical Studies, and have taught Bible customs, the history of the Jewish kingdoms, the exile / return, and the major prophets. I have a good knowledge of Latin, and some experience with Koine Greek. I own several translations in several languages.[reply]
JohnChrysostom (talk) 02:10, 18 December 2011 (UTC) I've a BA in Philosophy and Comparative Religions, and am pursuing graduate studies as a Latin-rite Catholic seminarian. I can read Pseudo-Attic (i.e. Plato) and Koine Greek as well as Classical, Medieval, and Ecclesiastical Latin. Study of the Bible is a personal passion, rivaling my passion for philosophy, theology and ancient history. I own all of the major and most of the minor English translations (DRC, KJV, ASV, Knox, CCD, RSV, RSV-CE, RSV-2CE, Jerusalem Bible, NAB, NIV 1984, NASB, NKJV, NJB, REB, NRSV, NLT, OSB, NETS, NABRE, etc.), several versions in other languages, the Clementina and Nova Vulgatae, as well as most of the Greek source texts (W&H, NA27/UBS4, TR, Hodges-Farstad Majority Text, Rahlf's Septuagint, Brenton's LXX), with the exception of the Gottingen LXX. I have on hand also most ancient pagan and Jewish sources referring to the Christians or Jesus, the 38-volume collection of the Fathers, etc. if anyone needs anything referenced. If I would have to declare areas of expertise or specialty in specifically Biblical studies (without crossing in to theology or ecclesiastical history or the Fathers, where there is some overlap), it would be in the LXX, the OT canon, the non-canonical texts of the intertestamental and NT periods/pseudepigrapha, and the NT canon, with several other subjects in close proximity.[reply]
