[edit] Archdiocese of Hobart

According to catholic hierachy the Archdiocese of Hobart is an immidiate subject to the holy see, and thus not under the metropolitan of the Archdiocese of Melbourne. I have thus removed it from the list, please correct me if that was a wrong interpretation. andy 16:10, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne merged into this article

I've just completed a merge of the article Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne into this one, after first fixing up all the broken links to the archbishops on this page. The former article (which now redirects here, as does Catholic Bishops and Archbishops of Melbourne) was merely a list of archbishops, which is handled more appropriately (and in more detail) here. This seems to be a wider problem however, as there are other lists of Australian archbishops at similar titles (for instance Catholic Bishops and Archbishops of Sydney) which would seem to be more profitably located as subsections of the article for the diocese as is the case here, except that those articles tend not to exist yet (Archdiocese of Sydney is a case in point). A little bit of moving of the former articles to the latter titles (along with appropriate expansion of the text to reflect this) would seem logical to me. One hesitation to diving into this, though, is the question of the uniqueness of such titles, as the Anglican church seems to also have archdioceses in some of these cities - perhaps titles of the type Catholic Archdiocese of xxx is more appropriate.

Moved to "Roman Catholic Archdiocese of X" along with all the other Archdioceses. This solves the problem with the overlapping Anglican dioceses. Benkenobi18 21:17, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
