[edit] Sui Juris

My mistake:

The same term is applied also to missions that, though lacking enough clergy to be set up as apostolic prefectures, are for various reasons given autonomy, and thus are not part of any diocese, apostolic vicariate or apostolic prefecture.

[edit] Renaming of bishop articles

I notice you have done a lot of moving of bishop articles on Wikipedia lately. I am not sure I agree with these moves. Did you discuss them with anyone? Generally, on Wikipedia, we follow the policy of use common names unless there is widespread agreement that for a certain topic area a different convention should be followed. Thus, we only disambiguate when we have to (such as for the Bishop of Liverpool, because there are simultaneously CofE and Catholic Bishops of Liverpool). —Matthew Brown (T:C) 08:11, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

At this point, I believe we would consider this vandalism. Either that or please discuss these changes before you make them or they will be reverted if this continues. Thanks. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 12:06, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
See Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Anglican_Bishophoric_moves for a discussion. Although I believe your edits were in good faith they were a bit odd and do appear to go against naming conventions. Please discuss such changes before making mass moves. — Dunc|☺ 13:34, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
Also, please check your facts; Bishop of Bangor, Wales (Catholic) is a pointless page because the Church of England emphasises its direct continuation with the previous Catholic church through the reformation. I'm not sure its a POV fork, but it's a pointless fork. — Dunc|☺ 13:40, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
Actually, Bessarion, the fact that you might be an expert is immaterial. We follow certain naming conventions. Anyone that wants to use different naming conventions needs to discuss it first somewhere on the site. Yes, our motto is "be bold!", but you also shouldn't do mass editing like changing all the names of all of the articles on Bisphorics in the UK at once without discussing it first. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 17:08, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

I undid all of the moves you made. Please go to Talk:Anglican Communion or Talk:Church of England to discuss the possible moves. Thanks. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 13:43, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

This is like having the Emperor of Japan arbitrate Chinese politics.
