Welcome, Magda. Thanks for your contributions! -FrJohn 20:37, 24 Nov 2004 (CST)

Account for your husband

You said: "Also, do you have any advice on getting him to sign up for an account?"

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: Dcn. Matthew Thurman. --Rdr. Andrew 08:45, 23 Feb 2005 (CST)


Triodion Stuff

Hello Magda! The characterization of the week after the Publican and Pharisee as "the first week of the Triodion" is certainly correct and commonly heard. In your comments on my user talk page, I think (a) and (b) are spot on. I've never heard the pre-Lenten weeks of preparation referred to as the "Triodion". I've only ever heard them referred to as the pre-Lenten weeks of preparation or, in short-hand, pre-Lent.DcnDavid 09:29, 23 Feb 2005 (CST)

Events

At the end of the list of feasts, put a period and then Other events: etc. I'll note this in OrthodoxWiki:Help wanted. --Rdr. Andrew 20:59, 25 Feb 2005 (CST)

Titles

I noticed that you were making links for the various saint titles (e.g., Righteous, God-bearing, Venerable, etc.). Do you think we really need separate articles for each of these titles? Saint commemorations already covers some of this sort of thing, no? --Rdr. Andrew 19:40, 26 Feb 2005 (CST)

Follow-up: How about if we create a single article called Saint titles to which these various titles can have redirect links? I do think it would be useful to have an article which explains them.

Regarding the style for 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 don't think we intend for there to be a single menaion that we're using here, but rather a sort of combined menaion with differences noted in parentheses where the custom varies. The one I've been using happens to be the one found in the back of the Antiochian Liturgikon, though I've added in a few extras here and there. --Rdr. Andrew 21:38, 26 Feb 2005 (CST)

Category links

To link to a category without making the current page in that category, use this form:
