OrthodoxWiki:Articles from the DEC
The following is a list of topics of selected articles from the Blackwell Dictionary of Eastern Christianity (DEC) (Oxford: Blackwell Publishers Ltd, 1999) which it is believed would make good articles on OrthodoxWiki. Articles with red links either need to be created or redirects put in place to existing articles.
The selection was mainly (but not exclusively) made in terms of articles concerning the Chalcedonian Orthodox churches. In some cases, spelling was adjusted to reflect the most common spellings used in English-speaking Orthodox churches (as per the Style Manual).
Working on articles from this list will help to avoid the systemic bias inherent in creating articles solely based on one's own interest.
