==Misleading Sentence==
This sentence from the article is misleading: ''''''[...the Church of Antioch refers to itself as the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East.] The literal translation into English of the Arabic name is "Roman (in Arabic, Rum) Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East." '''''' The Arabic word "RUM," while indeed literally translated as "Roman," fails to explain that "Rum" denoted Greeks of the Roman Empire (once the capital was moved from Rome to Constantinople); ie East Roman/Byzantine "Greek Romans." In fact, Arabic does not have an equivalent to the word "Greek" to this day, instead referring to the modern Greek nations (Greece and Cyprus) and it's people as Romans ("Rum").--[[User:Nikoz78|Nikoz78]] 21:59, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
::Please read the title of the Church of Antioch's website: http://antiochpat.org/english/sitefiles/viewcontent.php?content=%241%24Fqww80sV%24LJtl/mpIsne5lz0mZ5kCy0_%241%24cY2fEC.3%242X4rjsf3DqIjEbC53bz6R/_%241%24Fqww80sV%24LJtl/mpIsne5lz0mZ5kCy0b56a92baa0ee987eb7f7e4a179b60efb&id=1&cat=%241%24DdKoSQCb%24FO96gT8jCFwnHPxW4LNZj1_%241%24pCxQHS8F%24GHaBW0fpsqpxYoSn4BE0M/_%241%24DdKoSQCb%24FO96gT8jCFwnHPxW4LNZj150102e124822220aaa78a8e3b2ccba34&catid=3&contentname=Historical%20Overview&catname=Other%20Contents [[User:Wsk|Wsk]] 01:11, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
==Population==
Hi. You say the Population estimate are 750,000 to 1,000,000. That is not true, we are just in Syria 750,000 to 1,000,000 and in lebanon 300,000 and in Iraq 250,000 and in Turkey 100,000 ... I read in Arabic ENCYCLOPEDIA that the Antioch Church Population are 12 Million around the world. Please change It. --[[User:Habib|Habib]] 16:43, March 8, 2007 (PST)

Habib definitely has a point. The population statistic given in the text says between 750,000-1 million in Syria alone, while the margin population for the whole patriarchate gives the same figure. It can't be as high as 12 million, but should be at least 2 million given America, Lebanon, Syria, Western Europe. Admittedly a real number would be hard to get.
==Architecture==
I'll make some editions, feel free to change or revert. --[[User:Filius Rosadis|Filius Rosadis]] 14:21, August 28, 2007 (PDT)
== Wrong names of syrian dioceses ==
Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_Orthodox_Church_of_Antioch] transfers a slightly different list of dioceses on the Middle East and Syria. --[[User:Stone18|Stone18]] 09:15, February 18, 2012 (HST)
:The web sites for the Antiochian 'Archdioceses' do not use "Metropolis". The sites read "Archdiocese". Which is correct? [[User:Wsk|Wsk]] 15:41, February 18, 2012 (HST)
