This issue I have is over-riding the link I set up for the Bishops. I have noticed that you include the Metropolis area as a title to their name Eg. His Emincence [[John (Black) of Area A and B]]. Thanks I dont agree with including the 'of Area A and B' part because that title could change with time. They may become a Metropolitan to another area perhaps and then the title would no longer be relevant. I think it suffices to just use their name with Surname in the brackets ..leaving the title out of it? What do you think? Is their something I dont know that I should know for your contributions! the reason to include the title? --[[User:FrJohnIxthis888|FrJohnVasiliki]] 2014:3700, 24 Nov 2004 February 21, 2008 (CSTPST)

== Account for your husband Help needed==Hello Magda, I would like to bring to your attention problem with the article [[John (Zizioulas) of Pergamon]] where one of the users keep removing valid academic source to the criticism of the J.Z., not providing any valid academic reason for removal, but rather expressing his own opinion on the matter. Since I know that user from Wikipedia and have experienced his disgraceful behavior there, I am asking for help before situation ends up in the formal request for mediation (just as happened there). Thank you.

Uh, well... you know your husband better than I. :) Maybe offer him ''piftia'' or ''salad de bef''? You could mention that one of his fellow seminarians is on OrthodoxWiki, too: [[User:DcnMatthew|Dcn. Matthew Thurman]]. --[[User:ASDamick|Rdr. Andrew]] 08:45, 23 Feb 2005 (CST)==Holy Sepulchre==
Hmm, you're right about the spelling of Sepulchre. That was bothering me throughout, but I didn't want to change the title of the article. Do you think it should be Americanized?
== Triodion Stuff ==Hello [[User:Magda|Magda]]! The characterization As for what I did changed, there were a number of verbs in the week after history section of the Publican and Pharisee as "the first week of article in the Triodion" is certainly correct and commonly heard. In your comments on my user talk page, I think present tense (athat were about past events) and (b) are spot on. So that's what I've never heard the pre-Lenten weeks of preparation referred meant by present to as the "Triodion"past tense in history. I've only ever heard them referred stopped after the history section (except for changing annointed to as anointed in the pre-Lenten weeks of preparation ornext paragraph), in short-handso that's why you don't see changes throughout. Oh, pre-Lentand I also messed with what I thought was awkward wording once or twice. Please change anything you think needs undoing.[[User:Dcndavid|DcnDavid]] 09:29, 23 Feb 2005 (CST)
== Events ==Thanks for the kind words about my editing. I really need to start getting back on more. Honestly, I just don't have the free time that I did in college.

'''Follow-up:''' How about == Ekatontapyliani versus Ekatontapiliani ==Hi, ur question on Anastasios Orlandos got me thinking ... can u do a hit on the word Ekatontapyliani versus Ekatontapiliani to see which is hit more frequently or if we create you cant be bother how can I do that sort of a single article called check? [[Saint titlesUser:Ixthis888|Vasiliki]] to which these various titles can have redirect links? I do think it would be useful to have an article which explains them. 04:49, April 17, 2008 (UTC)
Regarding the style ==New England Diocese==Thanks, Magda, for catching the [[Church Calendar]] commemorations: I think it would get cumbersome to use the full versions found in [[Saint commemorations]]. There seems to be a terser style characteristic of synaxaria and menaia. I doncentury 't think we intend for there to be a single menaion that wedate're using here. Also, but rather a sort of combined menaion you came up with differences noted in parentheses where the custom varies. The one date for Abp Dmitiri that I've been using happens trying to be the one found in the back of find for some time. Now the Antiochian ''Liturgikon'', though I've added dates in a few extras here and there. --his article need correcting!! [[User:ASDamickWsk|Rdr.

Hi Magda,I have modified three articles (on purpose) on a temporary basis, only so that I can demonstrate an idea ...

Well, something like that. I think what you've got is a decent first rought attempt. There are standard sizes for link banners, as well as for simple small-size buttons. There's lots of sites that talk abotu this - [http://www.1second.com/bannerinfo.htm here's one I came across in a quick search] - one standard size, e.g., is 486 x 60. I'm also thinking of smaller buttons, like many blogs have - see e.g. the very bottom of [http://raphael.doxos.com raphael.doxos.com]. Thanks1 [[User:FrJohn|Fr.

I'm not really clear on what you're asking.
