I noticed your changes to various histories which are all shared by Saint Thomas Christians. Why not place them into the shared history until 1652: History of the Saint Thomas Christians, a summary into the template: Template:Indian Christian History 52-1653. Then we could put these into all 7 churches for the first 1652 years since they all have the same history but 5 people writing five histories (some share).
Right now the histories are all crazy. We get newbies every week that can usually be reverted. Then every few months, we get someone new to Wikipedia who changes a lot of material in one of the histories. It is very frustrating and very impermanent since the next person that comes along will change everything you did once you move on. With a common history, this would be unlikely.

Was out of the country for awhile. Just got your note. I was hoping to see a common history with topics (as suggested by you): Rough Chronology (not quite sure what that means!) Early traditions with the Apostle St. Thomas Early East Syriac Period (I'm not really sure how firm that connection was. Clearly St. Thomas Christian were visited periodically, but how much did Syrians influence Indian Christianity?) Medieval period Early Bishops Arrival of Portuguese Division
It would be nice if Neudvelmatthew (wrong spelling) kind of supported this, but I doubt that he will. But at least you can ask him what he thinks, rather than asking him for support, per se.
I think the common history ends at Coonan Cross or shortly thereafter. Common histories still continue, but with fewer churches.
Coming up with a new "common" name is a serious problem. Almost ought to be completely renamed like "Common history of Keralan Christians" or somesuch.
I am in favor of anything with at least one good reference per paragraph, with fairly short paragraphs. I would not object to one reference per sentence even if the reference is a duplicate!
I would suggest developing it in a sandbox and letting me and Neudelmatthew look at it (without changing it), before trying to install it. We can talk about substituting it first.
It would be better but much harder, probably impossible, to get all church editors to accept this new version prior to trying to substitute it for the current version. The nice thing about them looking at a sandbox version is that they might not feel quite so threatened as just boldly substituting and getting into a row.
How does that sound? Student7 ( talk) 23:21, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
