Remove FBD altogether?
Prab, I think this makes sense. I looked through the recent changes and I was like..."wow." Thanks for saving me the trouble of moving most of the stuff! One last question....do we want the FBD pages to link to the main article (ie, "Abraham") or do we want them to link to the FBD page (ie "Free_Bible_Dictionary:Abraham") I know that in some cases we have a great number of articles written about someone (take Peter for instance. The "Peter" article links to Graham's article on the papacy, a short biography of Peter, and eventually it will also link to the FBD article on Peter. So, in my thinking we'll want the FBD index pages to just link directly to the FBD article and save users an extra click...but what does everyone else think?

*We've had many of the same issues at Theowiki (see [http://www.theowiki.com/index.php/Talk:Easton%27s_Bible_Dictionary#Relationship_to_WikiSource.3F the EBD talk page]). I think we did it well by ''not'' creating special EBD (or Free Bible Dictionary) entry names. Since you're modifying EBD entries anyway, it's probably better to do away with the FBD altogether since WikiChristian itself ''is'' your FBD (for that matter, don't bother recreating Smith's and maybe even Hitchcock's sources). Does that make sense? '''I do recommend, though, helping to create an untouched version of EBD on [http://wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page:English Wikisource]''', a site I hadn't thought about using for original sources until recently; including Bibles, of which they [http://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Religious_texts#Bible already have a few]! --[[User:RockOfVictory|J.
