Changes

[[Wikipedia]], with hundreds-of-thousands of articles, is the most well-known wiki website and is a testimony to the effectiveness of wikis in allowing exhange exchange of information through collaborative effort. It contains thousands of articles related to [[religion]]. One of the criticisms that adherents to various religious groups have however is that in attempting to maintain a [[neutral point of view]], some of the teachings of their religion can be "watered-down" or altered. These critics also state that the neutral point of view is in the eye of the beholder. In response to some of these criticism, explicitly Christian wiki websites have been set up. The majority of them adhere to a specific Christian [[denomination ]] or tradition, including most that claim to be non-specifically "Christian" in nature. They tend to fall into three categories, Online [[Bible]] encyclopedias (of varying completeness and denominational emphases), general Christianity wikis without a specific denominational slant, and wikis devoted to a specific Christian denomination or tradition.
