Great job, Jack. Just bear in mind that no one 'owns' any article on wikipedia, and it will probably get edited a little, maybe even a lot. If you want to keep track of changes to this article, log in as a user (pick any username), come view the article you're intrested in, and use the link on the side to add it to your "watch list". Later you can view your watch list to see which of those articles have been edited most recently. Wikipedia has lots of other features to make it easy to edit articles, view change history, discuss articles with fellow contributors (like this Talk page), and on and on. Enjoy!

How big is this denomination? It seems like it would be really small, but the article gives no clue into the number of members. Fishal 19:25, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

1.5 million according to http://www.pro-oriente.at/?site=ok20041124161715&lp=de --Pjacobi 20:55, 2005 Mar 21 (UTC)

[edit] IMPORTANT

I would like to say that Malankara Orthodox Church is different from the Malankara Syrian Orthodox church

Malankara Orthodox Church = Indian Orthodox Church

Malankara Syrian Orthodox church = a member of the Universal Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch

Have a look at the table below (it's french but you understandable)

**Églises orientales du Kerala (Chrétiens de saint Thomas)**
Syriaque occidental					Syriaque oriental
Anglicans	Orthodoxes orientaux			Catholiques orientaux		Assyriens
Église malankare Mar Thoma	Église malabare indépendante	Église malankare orthodoxe	Église syro-malankare orthodoxe	Église catholique syro-malankare	Église catholique syro-malabare	Église malabare orthodoxe
N.B. I understood that orthodox malankar and syro-orthodox malankar church are in communion but I am not 100% sure of this

Bear in mind that each of these churches have different names...

[edit] Proposed Oriental Orthodoxy project

There is now a new proposed project at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Oriental Orthodoxy for a group which would focus on articles relating to the Oriental Orthodox Church. Any individuals interested in working with such a group should indicate as much there, to allow us to know if there is enough support to actually begin such a project. Thank you.
