Changes

::I do not disagree that much of the material that was added was good, but it was poorly referenced... in that it provided one footnote, with a shotgun blast of references, and it is impossible to tell without finding all the needles in the hay stack which reference covers which assertion of fact. As the text currently stands, according to the normal conventions of footnoting, you would have to assume that all those extensive references were intended to only establish that there were 3 Russian jurisdictions in Western Europe. But obviously, the intent is to cover all that follows. However, this makes future editing impossible, because if I insert new information in this passage, does that footnote cover my information? Suppose I am able to disprove an assertion in his following paragraph... which part of his footnote do I remove or modify? Secondly, there was a text here previously. The editor that added this material, simply wiped that out... and I think the burden of working the existing material is on the next editor. I don't think the burden of restoring white washed information should be on anyone else. [[User:Frjohnwhiteford|Frjohnwhiteford]] 03:45, December 18, 2007 (PST)

::There are some issues of fact in the text as it is that are problematic... at least the whole story is not given, and so some emendations are needed. For example, while it is true that there were three Russian jurisdictions in 1931... there were not in 1935, when this controversy hit the fan. Evlogy had reconciled with ROCOR. Evlogy split off again in part because of the investigation into this issue. [[User:Frjohnwhiteford|Frjohnwhiteford]] 18:26, December 21, 2007 (PST)
