Talk:Nicholas (Manovitch)

Information provided in the form of jottings by the archivist of the Russian Orthodox Australian Diocese, Archpriest Michael Protopopov, Dandenong, who is about to publish a book on the history of the Russian Australian Diocese which will provide a better written paragraph on Fr Nicholas Manovitch.

Forgive me if I'm merely restating the obvious, but the cleanup tag is not used for bad information, just for bad arrangement. A number of articles (ones taken from Wikipedia come to mind, but most blurb biographies also have that problem) have to have a cleanup tag attached to them because they just don't fit the style. — by Pιsτévο ^{talk complaints} at 08:16, May 18, 2006 (CDT)

I've standardized the article a bit. It's more than a stub, but something less than thorough. I wonder about the preferred spelling of his surname, though, and whether he was a monastic (since the surname is given in parentheses). —Fr. Andrew ^talk contribs (THINK!) 08:54, May 18, 2006 (CDT)

Most accounts are that he was a hieromonk on arrival in New Zealand (1910); apparently he was elevated to archimandrite by 1916. — by Pιsτévο ^{talk complaints} at 09:57, May 18, 2006 (CDT)

The surname by which he is known in the Russian community is Manovitch. There are doubts as to both his priestly ordination and monastic tonsuring.
