==Names of Bishops in the Church==
Hi Magda, I really appreciate what you do ...you do a lot of awesome editing but I really have to disagree with 1 change you are making to the 'Metropolis of XXX' articles that I have created over the past few days. 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]]. 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 the reason to include the title? -- [[User:Ixthis888|Vasiliki]] 14:00, February 21, 2008 (PST)

I don't completely understand all the options you gave, but... My preference is for there to be individual articles titled "List of Xes of Y," where "Xes" is the highest rank for that see, e.g., [[List of Patriarchs of Constantinople]] which lists all bishops of Byzantium/Constantinople, no matter their rank. The category would be included in all articles about those bishops, and the "List of" article would also be included in the category. {{User:ASDamick/sig}} 19:28, January 5, 2006 (CST) :''Your patent answers (which I never seem to think of) are why I keep asking you questions.'': And here I thought that I was just a curmudgeon who liked things his own way. :) {{User:ASDamick/sig}} 10:54, January 6, 2006 (CST) ==Uninhabited!Issues Logging In ==I agreeHi, Magda.

My contribution was based on personal observation and interpretation, and also from listening to others (though there is certainly no unanimity). It transpired that Timothy Ware is most appreciated for his scholarly work and forgiven for his 'racist' attitude towards Greeks because it is demonstrated so politely. I would argue that his 'racism' is a product of his generation. But it also the manifestation of the unreconciled heart and mind of a particular kind of convertonly manage 30 seconds every day. His intellectual approach i will try to the Greek Orthodox faith exemplifies all the rigour of a Protestant heart and of a need for 'straight' empiricism; these are truly worthy attributes, but not appropriate for tackling the depths of Greek Orthodoxy or for coming to terms with the inherent Orthodoxy that comes from being born into an ancient Orthodox dailiness. In the case of Timothy Ware, fix up Athos issues when this gap between scholarly rigour and the Orthodox condition cannot be reconciled, so it is resolved through the 'racist' attitude he was probably born into and educated by.At least, that is how I view the situation for the time being.RespectufullyPolitis. == Featured Articles, etc. == Thanks for the tip on pluralsaccount works properly .

Thanks for your note.

==Contributed articlesSt. Donald ==I think what I was trying to do with the ethics articles I edited was to designate them as essentially persuasive, not encyclopedic in the sense of being purely a retelling of facts. No doubt the Church's position should be clearly stated (if there is one), but some of the articles deal with issues that have never been clearly and dogmatically defined. They just lack that neutrality that I see as intrinsic to an encyclopedia article.
I guess it's really a matter of defining what the goals for Orthowiki are and how much leeway we want to give Hello, Matushka - thank you for deviations from a strictly encyclopedic style. To me, it just seems like the talk pages would be a better place for opinion stands on debatable issuesextra links, if we ever have enough people to start really using themconcerning St. [[User:Gabriela|GabrielaDonald of Ogilvy]] 20:34and his holy Nine Maidens!

A note: You are much more up on our various saints, so that's why the note to you. I notice your linking of September 14 to Placilla the Empress as Theodosius' wife. In the sources I found his first wife was noted as "Aelia Flacilla". With the similar names I'm guessing the names refer to the same person. If so, the Theodosius article should note the different spellings for her name. Would you check it and make the modification to the article, if names apply to the same person.
