BTW, it's good to see you here, Maxim. From the style of your edits and comments, I'm guessing you're the anonymous editor with whom I've been working on the [[Wikipedia:Diocese of Sourozh|Wikipedia article]] (your IP, at any rate, is the same). I hope you enjoy your time here. OrthodoxWiki is similar to, but not the same as, Wikipedia. —[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

Of course, etc.
I take the correction re 'jurisdiction'. The small snippet line made it look more blunt than it was. I'm just conscious that (a) there are stavropegic Moscow Patriarchate churches in UK & RI [e.g. the Dublin Church]: these are Moscow jurisdiction; (b) there are non-Moscow Russian churches in UK & NI [e.g. the Belfast one]: these are Russian. I just wanted to pick out Sourozh between these two - so that it didn't tread on the toes of either.
Best, M

: I wasn't aware of the stavropegic institutions. It may be worth it to mention these in the article. —[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

==On 'Commonwealth-izing'==
Dear Dn Damick,
I feel a slight chafe of imperialism in the stipulation that the article needs to be 'Commonwealth-ized in usage'. I am not sure what it means for an article to require 'commonwealth-izing'. The article as it stands is British English, conforming (barring typos) to the OED and the Oxford Manual of Style. I believe that the Commonwealth generally communicates in British English. I note also that the Orthodoxwiki requires consistency in the type of English used (e.g. whether British or whatever). It does not stipulate mandatory redaction of an article to conform it to American English spelling and grammatical norms.
As ever, [[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 22:57, June 22, 2006 (CDT)
: [[Wikipedia:Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] [[Wikipedia:Commonwealth English|usage]] is precisely the usage of the UK, Australia, Canada, etc. Though it's not yet enshrined in OrthodoxWiki policy, we generally follow the Wikipedia policy of using the English usage peculiar to the location of the article's subject. Thus, for instance, this article would use Commonwealth usage rather than American.
: In this case, some of what needs to be done includes the removal of periods from abbreviations (''Fr'' instead of the American ''Fr.'', for instance). —[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

Dear Dn Damick,
Ok - I've misunderstood your meaning... I hadn't noticed the missing/present full stops.
Apologies,

==Dated and needs update==
This article is seriously outdated and needs an update. I believe the situation with former bishop Osborne has long been settled. [[User:Wsk|Wsk]] 21:43, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
