Bible Facts: baptism - nothing about Jesus

Same issue with 'Baptism': no references to the baptism of Jesus, nor to John the Baptist:

All of this is very disappointing. I can read the initial feedback: "Logos cuts Jesus' birth, baptism, and resurrection out of its database." (I know this isn't what's happened, but these are too obvious to be overlooked before L5 gets released.)

Looks like an all-nighter for some people, if the release dates stay like announced...

The problem here (and in a couple of other recent forum posts) isn't that we don't have such events: we do. But the one you're looking forward doesn't use the word "baptism" in its title: it's "John the Baptist baptizes Jesus" (logos4:Facts;id=*JesusBaptism).This is a variant of what we sometimes call the "librarian problem": the librarian categorizes things one way, while the patron looks for them under a different categorization. It's not that one or the other is right or wrong, they're just different, but in ways that makes things hard to find.

You can also navigate with the hierarchy of Biblical Periods: in this case, if you choose Life of Jesus, then Jesus' ministry, the hierarchy happens to open up to

Beginning of Jesus' public ministry

Jesus' ministry begins

John the Baptist baptizes Jesus

but i understand that not everybody will think to do that.

We don't yet have multiple titles for events (as we do for people,
places, and things) so that makes the "findability" problem worse here.
The intention is show all the events for an individual on their
Bible Facts page, so you could look at his events and see it there. But obviously for Jesus, that's a lot (and the
implementation hasn't yet caught up and offered a "More ..." link: you
only get five at present). So we'll need to add alternate titles to make these more findable.
