Early centers of Christianity → History of early Christianity – The article is not only about the early centers of Christianity but about the whole history of early Christianity. Privybst ( talk) 16:20, 17 September 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Natg 19 ( talk) 01:45, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

@ SanctumRosarium: you replaced several attributions ("according to the Catholic Encyclopedia}} with references to primary sources; a double no-go. The CE is a non-neutral and outdated source; atrribution makes it clear for readers that the views expressed in this source are the views of this specific source.

As the thread above makes clear, this article desperately needs better sources. However, I also think it needs reorganization. Since September 2022, this article is titled "History of early Christianity," but it is still organized as a list of "centers of early Christianity." I have already added a section on Origins with discussion of Judaism and Jesus. Now, I think we need an article that acts as a survey of early Christianity with links to articles looking at specific centuries, namely Christianity in the 1st century, Christianity in the ante-Nicene period, and Christianity in the 4th century. I would recommend the following organization:
