[edit] Suggestion

Thanks for your feedback. I see that you are interested in Eastern Orthodoxy. If you wonder what you could do to improve the coverage of this subject, please take a note that Saint Chariton, Saint Hermolaus, Saint Florus and Lauros do not have articles in this project. St. Paraskebas have two - Paraskevi and Petca Parasceva (see Agia Paraskevi (disambiguation)), which is kind of confusing. There is no article about St. Theodore the Stratilate, but we have Theodore of Amasea. In short, Orthodox saints seriously need sorting out. --Ghirla -трёп- 10:11, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the pointer towards articles that need some work. These sound interesting. I'll have a look and make a start soon. —Antonios Aigyptostalk 13:47, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Update: I've consolidated the existing text from the two articles on St Petka into a single article at Paraskevi, and turned the duplicate article into a redirect to this page. This takes care of the duplication issue, but I see that the Agia Paraskevi (disambiguation) still lists there as being two articles. Any way to get rid of this? —Antonios Aigyptostalk 14:08, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
I see that you figured it out yourself. Thanks for your helpful edits. --Ghirla -трёп- 12:38, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your Thoughts on the John Chrysostom Article?

Hi, Antonios. I was wondering if you could look at the John Chrysostom and make or suggest improvements.  Thanks. Majoreditor 02:36, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article for deletion

Hey help me with this article deletion please. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Historical_persecution_by_atheism#.5B.5BHistorical_persecution_by_atheism.5D.5D I would like to word it right but can not because there is no way to not be offensive I can't think of how.

[edit] Episcopal Vicariate

Dear Antonios Aegyptos,

I have removed your recent text which I am afraid is nothing more than polemic. The basic point is that the MP has now accepted +Basil's current status, however reluctantly, and it is of no help to continue to trawl over what you claim is "illegality" but which is reality was a successful appeal to Constantinople under the Canons of the Church.

Yours,

Atrebatus —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.145.241.7 (talk) 04:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC).

Hello Atrebatus. I'm afraid your removal of that text and replacement with your short summary is not appropriate to Wikipedia's approach to accuracy. I've restored the text, and explained the reasons in the Talk Page for that article. Please do see those notes and feel free to comment if you wish. —Antonios Aigyptostalk 13:18, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Response

Dear Antonios Aegyptos,

You say, in your now reinstated contribution :-

"In the days following 27 March, the Vicariate ran a notice on its website[16] claiming that in Moscow's release of Bishop Basil from its jurisdiction, it 'recognised the validity of the Vicariate', a claim that had no foundation in the decision of the Patriarchate or the comments of Metropolitan Kyrill, neither of which mentioned the Vicariate. This reporting was seen by some as a deliberate attempt to reframe the decision's criticism of Bishop Basil's illegal move in terms positive to the Vicariate. The notice was later removed from the Vicariate's website, though not in a regular manner: it remains absent from the site's archive of 'events, documents, press releases etc since April 2006'[17], in which it does not appear, despite having been posted on the news index for much of April 2007".

As a close observer of the exarchate-uk site, I can tell you the only items the site ran were (1) a verbatim report of the Minutes of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church dated 27 March 2007, and (2) a verbatim report of a press conference by Metropolitan Kyrill of Smolensk published by Blagovest-info on 29 March.

I think you do need to produce specific evidence if you consider that I have overlooked something.

You might also be interested to know that the new Sourozh Diocesan website [1] has removed all the links to the earlier decisions of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church concerning Bishop Basil. These documents are still available, but only on specific application to the webmaster.

Regards

Atrebatus


Dear Atrebatus, thanks for these comments. The comment on exarchate-uk.org was witnessed by at least four people whom I've spoken to, as well as me personally. I'll get a cached version of the page for reference. It was definitely there, with those words in commentary; and has very conspicuously been removed and not moved to the archives.
Yes, the new Sourozh Diocese site doesn't list all the old materials (Same with the Vicariate, whose old site, dioceseinfo.org, also no longer has its texts online).

Dear Antonios Aegyptus,

I need to say in public that the phrases you allege were included on the exarchate-uk site were simply never there, and therefore they were never deleted. I stand by what I said in my earlier comment to you.
