[edit] Rome
Please stop changing the links in the Rome article from Roman Catholic Church to Catholic Church. It is causing disambiguity problems. Thanks! LoyolaDude 13:13, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi, could you please stop putting in this sentence into the Rome article: -
"by virtue of its three thousand years of accumulated history and art: a city of the divine and the sublime, of gods, kings, emperors and popes — Città Eterna — the "Eternal City"."
It's supposed to be an objective encyclopedia article so we just stick to straight facts rather than hyperbolic statements like the one above. Thanks.
[edit] State religion
Part of the reason I made changes to your edit, that you reverted, was because it was getting to be a little too in-depth (off topic) for the scope of the article - State Religion. The other reason is because a "point-of-view" is definitely presented in the parts I removed. If you would like this pov to appear, you should at least source it to someone who hold the same pov, but even then it is questionable whether this is the right article for such a discussion. ፈቃደ (User talk:Codex Sinaiticus) 04:27, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] History of the Roman Catholic Church
Hello. Would you please build upon the current version, instead of keeping on reverting before adding new contributions? It took some time to cleanup the article, restoring the "un-clean" version is a bit rude. If you have issues with the current version, let me know.--Panarjedde 10:57, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Why don't you give a reason for your reverts?--RedMC 19:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
This is your final warning. Stop vandalising the Rome page or you will be blocked from further editing.--Panarjedde 06:04, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hmmm. It's not in my nature to vandalize. Specially the glory and grandeur of Rome. If I had my way I'd want all the classical buildings of Rome rebuilt to their greatest glory. Ironic. But the greater irony it seems is that he got blocked indefinitely at the time of this writing for one reason or another. Hmmmm. Oh well. Life goes on. Dr mindbender 07:38, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Roman Catholic Church >> Catholic Church
Please stop changing "Roman Catholic Church" to "Catholic Church". It is incorrect and causes a redirect issues. Philip Stevens 06:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Let me first say that your argument on my talk page was extremely well-reasoned. Very rarely are arguments as well-reasoned as that one made on WP. That being said, I agree that the term RCC is usually only used in the English speaking world, and that it is a term originally coined by anti-papist forces in the Anglo-Saxon world. Catholics in Muslim-dominated countries do not usually refer to themselves as RCs, and the churches that call themselves Catholic but follow the Patriarch are not RC.
However, on the Rome page, I still maintain that the links should point to the RCC, as it is an English-language page. Because English-speaking people refer to the religion as the RCC, it should point there. Rome has always been associated with what English speakers call the RCC, so on the English-language Rome page, the links should point to the RCC. If the Rome page in a non-Anglo-Saxon language like Farsi point to the CC as it is known in Rome, it would be appropriate. LoyolaDude 17:43, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
