Few of the links in the list actually link to bishops of Trier: i.e. Moses. It takes no thought to link all the names, in a list that is a list of names only and can never be more, and many of the early ones just inventions. --Wetman 08:51, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to split this article between Fuerstbistum and Erzbistum, between the state and the diocese. Benkenobi18 (talk) 19:26, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

This should definitely be done, since there is a difference between the archbishopric (Ger.: Erzbistum) and the electorate (Ger.: Kurfuerstentum or Fuerstbistum) of Trier. The electorate was the temporal posession of the bishop, where he reigned like any other temporal prince of the Holy Roman Empire. Its territory was much smaller than the archbishopric, which fell only under the ecclesiastical power of the bishop. VEB Text (talk) 12:34, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
