→Recent episcopal name changes: changing sig to reflect commenters current (and longstanding) tag
I've noticed that you've moved several Australian bishops' articles recently. I'm wondering about the naming conventions—our custom thus far has not been to include the "full" title of each bishop in the article name, but rather to include only the primary see or sees. Thus, instead of "of Moscow and All Russia," we'd use just "of Moscow." Are these bishops' sees "of Australia," "of Sydney," or something else?

::usually, the sees are (for whatever reason) of australia, or of australia and new zealand. the only bishop that would be covered under the convention is Archbishop Hilarion (which i will change back); the other bishops are all bishops _of_ a country or both countries, not of the city that they reside (usually sydney).

That was what I thought—I'm not familiar with Orthodoxy in your part of the world (though I'm glad you're fleshing out it here—very interesting!), so I wanted to check. We have one such bishop here: the primate of the [[Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America]] is styled ''Archbishop of America''. —[[User:ASDamick|{{User:ASDamick/sig}}]] 09:01, 13 Jul 2005 (EDT)
