I think you have some very sound reasons for what you did with Luke. I can tell you want to do justice to the facts and to the direct information given by Scripture (which is our authority over tradition, as even Scripture itself affirms many times). I ask you out of caution, since the subject of Bible Wiki can create an environment where factually correct edits can be more agenda based then good intentioned. I didn't assume you had an agenda or a goal to sew doubt or uncertainty, but I wanted to be sure.

I would agree that more emphasis should be put on the message Luke was trying to communicate through his gospel account. If you want to expand on the authorship you are by any means welcome, but in the end the aim of Luke is more important than how he wrote it.

In regards to Romans, Bible Wiki encourages depth of articles. Outlines are (in my mind at least) a very minor part of an article and of importance to the book itself. I would encourage you to be spending your efforts expanding the actual descriptive sections rather than outlines. Quantitative data is more important than qualitative data at this point (and it always needs to be). Intros are a given and if you think an intro needs to be expanded I would recommend doing that as you go about expanding other sections for book articles. Intros should answer common questions (not in question format) and the basic overall things anyone would want to know about the book (or what is special or unique about the book). Not only does this give readers what they are looking for/need it gives us brownie points with search engines. As you know books are tricky- there is only so much "internality" you can have about a book (and when we are trying to primarily source from the Bible itself it can become challenging). Would you like to join our Instant Messaging Channel. It only requires a Gmail/Google account and allows you to send a message which can be read and responded too later- you do not have to be online or in a live discussion to answer. Most of our "community" is on this channel and this is a good place to get a little more personal with the Admins, community members and hear about what is going on. I'll give you an invite link if you are interested.
