Talk:Third order

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The articles Tertiaries and Third Order seem to be discussing the same thing. They should probibly be merged into one article. Gentgeen 09:33, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree! PVTele 11:59, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

  • The Catholic Encyclopaedia, which has articles on both term, clearly explains that Tertiaries is indeed a term for (the members of, and hence the whole of) Third Orders (mind the plural, though!). QED! Fastifex 13:52, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] split the histories of the various third orders into their own articles

The article is very long. It would be improved by splitting out the various sections on the histories of the different third orders into their own articles. This article could discuss the basic idea of a third order and the general historical development, and include a list of the third orders with articles. Gentgeen 07:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC

Both articles are quite long and not that well organized. Doing things to make them longer is not a good idea. I think that they both need to be cleaned up, boundaries clearly delineated and cross-links introduced.--Filll 13:52, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge intro. Split sections. From a non-expert point of view, both articles are too long. Each "Third order of..." sections should be spun-off as their own articles, then the main article should have a list of these. -- Emana 03:26, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] O. Praem.

Why is the Third Order of St. Norbert not included in the article?68.65.122.80 17:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
