→This is an Encyclopedia, Not...
OrthodoxWiki is thus a presentation of people, places, things and events that have made their place in Orthodox Christian history. It is not a vehicle for people hoping to make history, but for third-party writers to summarize information about subjects that are genuinely notable. Your local parish, your parish priest, and your pet theories on Scriptural interpretation are all most likely not of much historical note (yet).
===A Current Events Log===
All kinds of things are newsworthy, but only very few are truly historic. Just because a bishop or church has made some kind of statement or signed some sort of document does not mean that it deserves to get included in an encyclopedia. The appointment of a new bishop is by definition of a certain historic value, but not every encyclical or speech he makes deserves to get mentioned in major articles that are about something other than him.
Always ask yourself, "Is it likely that people 100 years from now will care about this?" The answer is almost always "no."
