Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Syriac Christianity work group

Welcome to the Syriac work group of the Christianity WikiProject! This task force seeks to create, improve, maintain, and provide a standard of consistency for articles about Syriac Christianity, as well as create a forum in which interested editors can work together to improve articles.

• Tag related articles.
• Find editors who have shown interest in this subject and ask them to take a look here.
• Identify articles for creation

Any articles that are within the scope of this project should be tagged with the project banners of WikiProject Christianity. You may also find {{WikiProjectBanners}} useful. To each of these banners, you should add syriac-work-group = yes as this will automatically put the page in the appropriate categories, such as Category:Syriac Christianity work group articles.

I am presently Academic Editor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
