request to include Holy Week 'Traditions' as a topic in the article

As an Orthodox, I would love to say that Holy Week is the most beautiful part of being Orthodox. The lenten preparation, the liturgical services, the cultural preparation that goes into participating in our Lord's death and then resurrection is what makes being Orthodox worth it. There are so many wonderful traditions associated with this week depending on where you come from in the world.

I would like to see a heading in the Encyclopedia article with TRADITIONS and sub-headings for different areas of orthodoxy describing their 'traditions' ... Is this acceptable as per the rules? Vasiliki (Ixthis888) 14:38, January 13, 2008 (PST)

Anything that has been removed can always be reverted—all edits in an article's edit history can be recovered by any editor (unless it has been removed from the history by an administrator, as is often done in the case of obscene vandalism). The main thing to remember is that articles are not scratch-pads, especially not the more developed ones. (That's what the Sandbox or one's own userspace is for.) What is added to an article should be "ready for press" when it's added. Major changes to developed articles should usually be proposed on the Talk page first. —Fr.
