→"Old Believers" or "Raskolniki"?
Простите меня Христа ради. Forgive me if I have offended you in any way, for the Love of Christ.
: I'm not advocating the use of the term. I think it simply needs to be reported here as a historical reality. The same is essentially true with ''Uniat'' for the Eastern Catholics (although, unlike ''Raskolniki'', it was not derogatory initially). The point is that ''Raskolniki'' has been used widely enough in history and even in academic writing that it's worth mentioning.
: Certainly, I would not suggest that articles be given the name ''Raskolniki'' or the like, but it's of enough historical note to warrant inclusion.
: Remember that OrthodoxWiki, as an encyclopedia, seeks to represent what is, to describe the various notable positions on an issue and report them. It does not "take sides." —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.
