<small>By {{User link|Lionelt}}</small>
Last month's auspicious relaunch of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Outreach/April 2018|our newsletter]] precipitated something of an uproar in the Wikipedia community. What started as a localized edit war over censorship spilled over onto the Administrator's Noticeboard finally ending up at Wikipedia's supreme judicial body ArbCom. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard&oldid=837089062#Motion:_Misuse_of_Administrator_Tools Their ruling] resulted in the admonishment of administrator {{u|Future Perfect at Sunrise}} for his involvement in the dispute. The story [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2018-04-26/Arbitration_report|was reported]] by Wikipedia's venerable flagship newspaper ''The Signpost''.
The question of whether to delete all portals--including the 27 Christianity-related portals--was put to the Wikipedia community. Approximately 400 editors have participated in the [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/RfC:_Ending_the_system_of_portals|protracted discussion]]. Going by !votes, Oppose deletion has a distinct majority. The original [[Portal:Christianity|Christianity Portal]] was created on November 5, 2005 by {{User link|Brisvegas}} and the following year he successfully nominated the portal for Featured Portal. {{u|The Transhumanist}} has revived [[WP:WikiProject Portals|WikiProject Portals]] with hopes of revitalizing Wikipedia's system of 1,515 portals.

'''[[Operation Auca]]''' was an attempt by five [[Evangelicalism|Evangelical]] [[Christianity|Christian]] [[missionaries]] from the [[United States]] to make contact with the [[Huaorani]] people of the [[Amazon Rainforest|rainforest]] of [[Ecuador]]. The Huaorani, also known as the Aucas, were an isolated tribe known for their violence, both against their own people and outsiders who entered their territory. With the intention of being the first [[Protestantism|Protestants]] to evangelize the Huaorani, the missionaries began making regular flights over Huaorani settlements in September 1955, dropping gifts. After several months of exchanging gifts, on [[January 2]], [[1956]], the missionaries established a camp at "Palm Beach", a [[Bar (landform)|sandbar]] along the [[Curaray River]], a few miles from Huaorani settlements. Their efforts culminated on [[January 8]], [[1956]], when all five—[[Jim Elliot]], [[Nate Saint]], Ed McCully, Peter Fleming, and [[Roger Youderian]]—were attacked and [[spear]]ed by a group of Huaorani warriors. The news of their deaths was broadcast around the world, and [[Life (magazine)|''Life'' magazine]] covered the event with a photo essay. The deaths of the men galvanized the missionary effort in the United States, sparking an outpouring of funding for evangelization efforts around the world. Their work is still frequently remembered in evangelical publications, and in 2006, was the subject of the film production ''[[End of the Spear]]''. ('''[[Operation Auca|more...]]''')
