[edit] Hi!

Thanks for the interest and help on articles related to Byzantine Christianity! Have a profitable Great Lent! InfernoXV 18:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your thoughts on the John Chrysostom article?

Hello, MishaPan. I was wondering what your thoughts are on the current state of the article on John Chrysostom. We have some discussion going on the article's talk page, Talk:John Chrysostom, about the best title to use for some of his sermons. If you are so inclined please take a glance at it and let us know what you think.

Also, thank you for your contributions to Byzantine Christianity articles -- I've been working on several myself. Cheers, Majoreditor 17:27, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Crucession?

Misha, I've never heard the word 'crucession' used anywhere. It doesn't return a single hit on Google, and I've never seen it used in books of any tradition - is this a neologism? It seems the entire article can go under Processions. InfernoXV 05:13, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moleben

Good informative URL: http://www.orthodoxphotos.com/readings/beginning/occasions.shtml

[edit] St. Porphyry of Gaza

I saw that you edited the Porphyry of Gaza article right after a bunch of reverts were done to my changes, and I thought your changes good. But I'm hoping to discuss the reverts in the talk page and would welcome your input.

Many thanks for your comments. With luck we can keep this article NPOV.Roger Pearse 08:12, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] contact

Dear Hierodeacon - would it be possible to contact you off wikipedia? My email is edward.yong@gmail.com, and I have some questions about monastic usage I'd like to ask! InfernoXV 12:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Octoechos

You did some good work there on the subject of the liturgical book, and I thought it deserved its own article. So I split it off into Octoechos (liturgical text), hopefully capturing all of your latest edits. If we were go go into much detail on how the various modes were adapted by the chant systems of the local churches as the Church grew, it could become rather longer and drift away from the main topic of the original article, which itself needs quite a bit of work.

[edit] Style

I see your intent, but it's not really good Wikipedia style to place external links inline within an article. If they're just for illustrating a point from the article, it's better to collect them all into the "External links" section at the end. Even better would be to find freely licensed photos and upload them so they can be displayed in the article directly. TCC (talk) (contribs) 21:33, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notes

I notice that you most frequently use the "Notes" section for the kind of footnotes used to explicate some minor point related to the text it refers to. Their primary purpose is really to provide references. If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion, for all the good work you've been doing the articles could be improved exponentially by Wikipedia standards if you happen to have sources at hand and can cite them. Citations can be expedited by using one of the citation templates or you can use whatever style you're accustomed to.

There are several articles I've worked on where I have to go back and do this. They were up to the standard at the time they were written, but that standard has become more rigorous since. TCC (talk) (contribs) 01:46, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You're welcome

It's been a real pleasure to suddenly have someone as knowledgeable and sensible as yourself contributing such a volume of quality writing to the Orthodox-related articles. I can't devote half the time I'd like, and we lost several valuable contributors over the past year. Thank you in return for all the work you've done. You will be in my prayers; please keep me in yours. TCC (talk) (contribs) 05:39, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom

Am I the only one who finds the sudden appearance of an article ex nihilo to be slightly dodgy? InfernoXV 02:28, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Icon

Hi, I don't know if you've noticed the Icon talk page of late. The article has come under attack from rather unsophisticated members of the Orthodox project, unfairly I think, and another view, from someone with Othodox credibility, would be welcome. The article could do with improvement, but not really along the lines they suggest. There are currently two sections essentially on the Othrodox theology of images, and they could do (in my view) with being merged & made more concise, & then moved up the page. I have been moving stuff in from what was largely a duplicate article at Iconography, so this is partly my fault. I don't feel competent to do what needs to be done on the theology. Most of the article is pretty good I think, but some of the original editors seem to have moved on. Johnbod 11:25, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
