[edit] Name of article

I am struggling a little with what the actual title of this article should be. I believe that his official title was something along the lines of "Wasyly, Archbishop of Winnipeg and Metropolitan of all Canada". In my experience, he we usually referred to as "Metropolitan Wasyly". I have sometimes seen lists of bishops listing him as "Metropolitan Wasyly (Fedak)" but more frequently using a variant of his full official title. His name at birth was "Wasyl' Fedak". (As a side note, I have no idea why his regnal name is so close to his given name but still a little different). Also, I often see WASYLY completely capitalized.

I am leaning towards moving it to "Metropolitan Wasyly", since there isn't a disambiguation issue. In the event that there is a disambiguation issue in the future, then move it to "Metropolitan Wasyly (Fedak)".

P.S. See List of Metropolitans and Patriarchs of Moscow for related articles. In the individual articles, the primate's family name is never in the article title. -- JamesTeterenko 01:34, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Seeing no comments for a few days, I have moved the article. -- JamesTeterenko 05:43, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
