== "Church" v. "church" ==
== Baby ==I understand "the Church" v. "a church" when it comes to a parish. However, I thought that one could also have "a Church" meaning an entity such as the [[Church of Russia]]. Currently, that article (Jursidiction section) mentions: "This includes these self-governing Churches:" Is this wrong? (I would appreciate it if you would add some clarification to the [[OrthodoxWiki:Style_Manual#Capitalization|Style Manual]] on this so I can refer back to it.)

* ''Title:'' The title 'Bishop of Amphipolis' is contested, and highly controversial:Hmm. It Poking it doesn't seem appropriate for the OrthodoxWiki article on the bishop to take a definitive side one way or the other on work in this mattercase. I had altered can rollback to the text previous edit, or I can undo, but each option seems to address thisdeal with single edits, which you refined nicelywhen I want to go back several edits. I have tried several times to copy and paste from an [http://orthodoxwiki.org/index. Howeverphp?title=Pope_Saint_Dioscorus_I_of_Alexandria_(Coptic_POV)&oldid=60734 older edit], but I do think it appopriate that there may be too much data. I feel uncomfortable transferring this article to OrthodoxSource, because I don't know whether we have the issue is left relatively open, by simply referring right to him as 'Bishop Basil' in use most cases of the material from this article (emost of it seems to be from [http://www.gcoptichymns. in the caption under the photographnet/module-library-viewpub-tid-1-pid-384.html this article]). The title of In any case, if you can get the article gives him the title 'Bishop of Amphipolis' alreadyrestored (I give up), which points things in a certain reading; but I think we need to be wary it needs a significant amount of giving 'our own blessing' to a matter that is disputed amongst the patriarchatescleanup.—[[User:Magda|<b>magda</b>]] ([[User_talk:Magda|talk]]) 22:52, June 11, 2008 (UTC)

==Metaxakis entry==Father: Evlogeite! Regarding your comments about the Estonian Church. You write:Dear Father"The reason for the difference in naming is that the EP's Estonian church is not regarded by the EP as a constituent part—rather, the EP regards the Estonian church as autonomous, having the same status as Finland, Sinai, etc. The MP, however, regards its Estonian church as being essentially an integral part of the MP, in contrast with the Church of Ukraine, which it regards as autonomous. Thus,the distinction." Thank you for pointing out Please explain to me, what the difference in status is between the Ukrainian and Estonian Churches (MP). It seems to me that both have the same status within the MP. The Primate of the Ukrainian Church is confirmed by the Moscow Patriarch; so is the Primate of the Estonian Church (MP). Hierarchs of the Ukrainian Church serve in the Council and Synod of the Russian Church; so do hierarchs of the Estonian Church (MP). In fact, the Metropolitan of Kiev is an ex officio permanent member of the Holy Synod in Moscow. The Ukrainian Church receives its chrism from the Moscow Patriarch; so does the Estonian Church (MP). The name of the issues Patriarch of NPOV Moscow is elevated at services in the Ukrainian Church and MCB with in the Estonian Church before the names of the last edit Metropolitans of Kiev and Tallinn, respectively. Thus, I had enteredsee no difference between their status as "integral parts of the MP" or not. Of course I agree with having those standards do not know what the status of the Estonian Church (EP) is within the EP. However, it seems to me that, for matters of OrthodoxWiki: 1. If the Ukrainian Church is listed as an encylopedic entry autonomous church with unrecognized autonomy in the box of autonomous / autocephalous churches, so too should be the Estonian Church (MP), alongside the Estonian Church (EP). This is already happening on the French version of the project. 2. There should be two articles. One called "Church of Estonia (EP)" and I would like one called "Church of Estonia (MP)". The article "Church of Estonia" ought to see be a disambiguation page.

Two years later, his wife died, leaving him two-year-old girl. However, Father Georgy not fallen spirit, wholeheartedly commend pastoral work. Soon, on the recommendation of the bishop of Vitebsk, about. George was sent to St. Petersburg for the substance admission of what Spiritual Academy.

Since 1906 - till 1910 - the year he was zakonouchitelem in Smolny Institute, a professor of theology in 1910 Historical Studies Institute. In the same in 1910 about.

It should be noted, and emphasize his ability and the ability to select a very important matter talented assistants and keep firmly in their hands, those, different abilities were not always at a height in nature. From the clergy subordinate to him, he demanded thateveryone worked fully its forces and capabilities, but will certainly worked; negligent and stroptivyh he pursued and expelled.

== A request for Orthodox Christian participants in a project ==
 
Dear Admin AsDamick,
 
Since I believe in the unity of saints in regards to Christendom as a whole and because I have read excellent works written by Orthodox Christians, I was hoping to get the Orthodox Christian community involved in a project.
 
The project I currently have going is the refutation of atheism on the internet. As part of this effort, I created what is likely the seventh most popular article on atheism on the internet in the English speaking world and the article can be found here: http://www.conservapedia.com/Atheism The article is currently ranked #7 at Google USA for the search "atheism". I can use this article to help other articles rank high on the search engines for various articles on atheism by featuring those articles in the aforementioned article.
 
I currently work in the search engine optimization field which is simplified is helping clients rank high for Google for various topics and searches. I am willing to teach you some excellent principles in regards to this field so your material would likely have prominence on the internet. The principles are easy to learn and it would be my pleasure to teach my fellow Christians involved in a anti-atheism campaign some fundamental principles in regards to getting their material to rank high for the search engines and do it on a volunteer basis.
 
Since Orthodox Christianity suffered greatly under atheistic communism, I would like to have the Orthodox Community be a part of the anti-atheism campaign. Also, there are many Orthodox Christians. Perhaps you could provide me useful feedback in relation to the above anti-atheism article. Also, perhaps you could help me gain the contributions of Orthodox Christians to the anti-atheism campaign.
 
I decided to start this campaign partly due to the the New Atheism that has reared its head as of late.

== Hosting copyright material on OrthodoxSource ==
 
Hi, I have received permission from an Orthodox priest to host his articles on OrthodoxSource. Now, I wanted to make sure that this would be ok before going and dumping his articles on OS so that I dont get (a) myself into trouble and (b) OrthodoxSource into trouble. What is the process for "documenting" the permission to use the article? Its only me that has a copy of this email on my private gmail email - do I forward Father John Schroedel a copy and is that enough to cover orthodoxSource from copyright issues???? I am very interested to understand what to do from here before I start dumping his material. [[User:Ixthis888|Vasiliki]] 02:02, July 21, 2008 (UTC)
 
== Help Me ... please ==
 
Can you please modify the Main Page on OrthodoxSource to '''"remove"''' the sentence ''"An online repository of archival and contemporary open-license Orthodox content..."'' which advertises orthodoxSource as "Open-license" ...
 
I was emailing Father John Schroedel who explained that by this sentence it can be understood that: ''by open-license, I would mean something that can be freely copied, and perhaps modified. The Creative Commons licenses do a good job of allowing a range of terms and conditions while still encouraging the free use of the content.''
 
This is one of his concerns, since he visions: ''I had envisioned, for example, putting archival/historical content there -- such as the old pamphlets that constitute a large part of the printed record of Orthodox in the U.S. in the early part of the last century, or photos of Orthodox places that are distributed under a creative commons license, or other public materials, epecially those items of significance for the history and identity of the Orthodox community.''
 
I would like to make him happy (and do things right of course) but I can not modify the Main Page to rectify this mistake of mine :-) That sentence ''"An online repository of archival and contemporary open-license Orthodox content..."'' is a direct cut and paste from "WikiSource" when I was setting up the structure and since you have locked the Main Page, I can not rectify my edit ...

== Osource ==
Hey, it's getting all too hard :-)
 
I ''have'' asked in the past for some assistance but been ignored - except for Andrew, who has legitimately stepped in and helped set up codes and stuff. Awesome guy. I can offer again, what I said months ago, ... if '''you''', or someone, can just '''DUMP material''' into a Sandbox ... that you believe should be ON Osource or you want on Osource ... I will do the clean up work and categorisation and formatting the very next day :-) if we dont all come to some working solution the site will just sit there neglected ... which would be such a shame as there are many people who are accessing it to read the articles.
 
So, what do you say? Will you work with me? Give me 'dumps' of "anytyhing" that does not breach copyright and I will fix it up for the good of OW/OS and the Orthodox community?

Dear father Andrew,
 
Perhaps you should have a look at the Old Believers article one again. All cleaning up has been reverted by Fatman2021, without any explanation on the Discussion page.
 
I suppose we don't leave the article as it is now and if you have the authority to clean up once again, I'd strongly suggest you'd do so. (If I were to do the job, I'm afraid an edit war with Fatman2021 may become inevitable.)

Hi, we are about to be ambushed by computer generated User accounts ....... [[User:Ixthis888|Vasiliki]] 04:05, December 17, 2008 (UTC)
 
==Name of ROC==
 
I have read the policy by the link you have indicated. Frankly, i did not quite get the meaning clear, or the purpose thereof. The thing with the ROC is that there are 2 legally official names of the entity (as registered by the RF Justice Minisrty): ''Русская православная церковь'' and ''Московский патриархат''. In all honesty, the name used in the relevant article has never been in existence, albeit it could be an historiographic designation covering the multitude of names; in effect the ROC had not had a properly official name prior to 1943, when it was formally recognised by state under this name.[[User:Muscovite99|Max]] 18:00, December 18, 2008 (UTC)
: This is answered on [[Talk:Church of Russia]]. As is noted in a number of our policy documents, we have our own taxonomy here, which often does not reflect official, legal names. The official OrthodoxWiki standard for all Orthodox churches is ''Church of [Place]''. This policy has been in effect pretty much since the wiki was founded in 2004. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color= Thanks and congrats "green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

But the point is, as i noted in my original edit comment, that such designation is not only formally incorrect, but in essence as well (by essence i mean the ecclesiological reasoning that obviously underpins your taxonomy). This is no more a Church of Russia than it is a Church of Ukraine (in fact, Ukraine could well lay a historically better grounded claim to it), or Latvia, for that matter. If one were to base the wording of the designation on the title of a Primate in question (which would be a legitimate thing to do within your taxonomy), the article would have to be called "Church of Moscow" (or "Church of Rus"). Paradoxically, you have chosen to employ the current official name of a country, which constitutes only a fraction (less than half by parish numbers) of the "canonical territory" of the ROC. How can you warrant that?[[User:Muscovite99|Max]] 20:00, December 22, 2008 (UTC)
Dear Father::: It's warranted with a combination of basic ecclesiology (i.e., the Church is not "Russian," "Greek, thank you for your friendly welcoming " etc., but it is the Church in and of a particular place&mdash;Russia, Greece, etc.) and congratulations for your ordination! --of English usage. ("Church of Russia" gets about 30,000 hits on Google.) It's notably the usage of such groups as the OCA[[Userhttp:Cat68|Cat68//www.oca.org/OCworldrussia.asp?SID=2]] 08:55, February 16etc. Of course its usage pales in comparison with "Russian Orthodox Church, 2007 " but that term is objectionable for the reasons previously noted. (PST"Church of Moscow" is a somewhat idiosyncratic term hardly ever used except in larger, translated phrases such as "Estonian Church of Moscow Patriarchate.")
== HC invasion ==::: The many parishes in Ukraine are covered by a separate article: [[Church of Ukraine]] (along with articles on the irregular bodies, as well).
Yes::: No matter what one names these articles, indeed, we have descendedthey'll not be satisfactory to all. This is what our policy here is.

::: Vasiliki, it's not "scholastic" to expect that readers actually read carefully. It's just good language usage. There's a reason why grammar, syntax, punctuation, etc., work the way they do. It might help if you didn't so frequently assume the worst when reading what other folks write.
::: Certainly, perhaps this level of reading and writing comprehension is not needed for everyday life (though I think it is!), but it surely is absolutely crucial when writing a reference work like an encyclopedia!

Thank == Timeline ==Hello Father, Eulogeite. First I wanted to wish you very warm Christmas wishes. Christ is born, Glorify Him! :)I wanted to ask if I can proceed and create the 10 sub-articles for the Timeline of Church History article (one sub-article for each of the 10 periods listed on the main article). Each sub-article would look exactly the same as the main article now does ,except that it would contain only the information for that particular era of course. I proposed a criterion on the talk page for helpwhat may be included on the reduced main timeline page; basically, if you agree and I can proceed to create the 10 sub-articles, with your blessing, and then shorten the remaining main article according to the criteria I attempted to set out, it would be great; I would emphasize that no information would be lost -- all the complete listings of the current timeline would remain on the 10-sub-articles. Or, I could create the 10-sub-rticles, and then you could do the final edit (reduction) of the main page then? Just an idea! Please let me know what you think! Cheers and Merry Christmas Father.

To avoid too much work establishing titles on the web, I've sought your opinion understand that this most likely had been posted by a user and as you have done so well in maintaining discipline of styles among all our articles. I find identifying many saints confusing with many of the saints having different titles applied such is not subject to themyour personal knowledge.
I notice that Wikipedia uses title conducted several days of their names investigation and a century when they lived, research in order to avoid similarities with other Irenes update the page appropriately and Theodoras. These seem bland, but I haven't found any Orthodox source on even went to the extent of seeking the web that provides distinct identification for these saints! I noticed in some edits you made authorisation to Orthodoxwiki articles that you seem to follow post the information from the Wikipedia practice. The Orthodox church sites haven't been any helpChurch and organisation, which they granted.
Following the practice of Theodora (Justinian's wife) does not appear reasonable for Irene or Theodora as their husbands were "Iconoclasts". For Irene, many if not a majority of the sites identify Irene as "Irene of Athens". I have been thinking of using find it offensive that you would label this work as a title for her. Another could be "Irene the Iconodule or Iconophile". For Theodora the Iconodule/iconophile would fit nicely“Heavily Point of View”.
Your comments I fail to understand why you would allow false and suggestions are solicitedmisleading information to remain posted. A young and inspired person chooses to update the page using only fact and you would rather support outdated and misinformed material.
In passing I notice Irene's feast day does not appear on the calendar of saints, August 9 . An Irene appears for August 13, but after some investiagation The general community that observed this saint appears to be a "Princess of Constantinople-tonsured Xenia with a date of 1124"page in its renewed form offered significant positive feedback. This confused me for a while!

I just noticed that you changed the license agreement from being able If persons should see fit to export add to not being able to export? Right after that information, I quoted it for the exports implore them to Wikipedia I did this morningdo so. What or who grants licensing for Orthodox wiki and how do I get in touch with them? Also what part makes the dual license incompatible and doesn't that violate using the wiki engine?[[User:LoveMonkey|LoveMonkey]] 13:02, April 24, 2007 (PDT)
: 1. The wiki engine has nothing Otherwise I believe that the page should be removed as it displays false and misleading information and if you should require I can have this formally requested from the community and association which this information refers to do with licensing. It's just a piece of software.?
: 2I can understand your removal of the Postal address and agree fairly to the emission of such information. All I just clarified ask is be fair in relation to the existing terms more explicitly, since I saw that there was some disagreement going on over at Wikipedia on content of the subject.post?
: 3. Licensing on OrthodoxWiki was defined by I am willing to build and develop the administration within page if you can suggest some points that would make the first year information less “Point of its inception. It is unlikely to be changed at this point, since so many edits here have been contributed under its terms.

:[[User:Young_Serb|Young Serb]], I suspect that the conclusion of the original article (which was ''very'' POV) may have taken from the facts that were in play. In response to [[User:ASDamick|Fr Andrew]]'s request, I have taken the liberty of bringing the two together.:Please consider that, as a parish, the subject matter was dubiously noteworthy enough to place on OrthodoxWiki; as a parish that has now placed itself outside the Church, more so. This doesn't excuse incorrect information, of course; but if you consider that details are sparse, this may have been done for a reason - this is, conceptually, an encyclopaedia, and is therefore rather lacking in emotive speech and in minutiae. However, should you find the article to still be misleading, please correct it. &mdash; by [[User:Pistevo|<font color="green">Pιs</font><font color= Deletions "gold">τévο</font>]] <sup>''[[User talk:Pistevo|<font color="blue">talk</font>]]'' ''[[User talk:Pistevo/dev/null|<font color="red">complaints</font>]]''</sup> at 13:37, April 24, 2009 (UTC)

== Azarias? ==
Χριστος ανεστη! This has nothing to do with Orthodox Wikipedia, but when I read the 3 youths passage on Holy Saturday, I noticed that Azarias is not one of the original three youths. there's Meeshak, Shadrack, and Abendago. Those three are describes throughout the whole reading, but then it says that Azarias said something. Who is Azarias?

== You dont like Proposed New Page?==Greetings Father. :) I wanted to ask your opinion about a new page I was thinking of adding. While researching some old books and resources for some of my articles, I found a number of puzzling abbreviations besides authors names, who were mostly Roman Catholic authors or scholars or from religious orders. Anyways, I found this list here: [http://www.fisheaters.com/religiousorderabbreviations.html Abbreviations of Religious Orders and Priestly Fraternitiies], and was thinking it would be a good reference page to add here, cataloged in a Roman catholic category perhaps. Just an idea, this info would help eliminate guesswork when people edit your articles!! ==going over historical documents. Cheers, [[User:Angellight 888|Angellight 888]] 23:59, July 8, 2009 (UTC)
Ive noticed, Father Andrew, that you dont like it when people edit your articles. you get pissy and then re-edit them back to their old and most times INACURATE form. How are you supposed to help this site if you cant put your own ignorant biases??== Request for speedy deletion ==

Dear ==New Template==Hello Fr. Andrew,Thank you for the warm greetings. I'll send your regards if ever I will meet him.:)
I had an idea to create a new template for [[User_talk:Angellight_888#New_Template|Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic Church history]], where the various ''shared or related'' historical themes, subjects and articles of both churches could be grouped together neatly in one pathfinder / template. I have come to realize that it is quite a daunting task, and I was hoping I could ask for your opinion on what I have worked out so far (see this [[User_talk:Angellight_888#New_Template|link]], on my talk-page). Many of the words or headings I have titled may need to be changed, and the focus tightened... I have used the word "history" rather than "relations" in the title, because it seems more appropriate and allows for the inclusion of links to relevant articles. I thought it would go nicely at the bottom of the [[Timeline of Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic relations]] article; including such templates as you know is a successful pattern over at Wikipedia, and this particular timeline is one place on OW where I think it would be useful, and allow for the elimination of "see also" links, and some "external links" at the same time. Whenever you may have time for a look it would be much appreciated, and feel free to go ahead and edit/change/correct/remove or add if you want to; I saved it on my talk page so I can work on it there until it is ready if we decide to keep it.

==Delete my account==
This wiki isn't for me, it does not and cannot build from any other source, unless it falls explicitly within the orthodox source material specifically. I just want to create articles based on Biblical topics and elaborate on them based on scholarship in all areas, not just Orthodoxy.

== Not just a Comment on a Talk Page ==After seeing that you addressed the medication spam pages I reported, I followed the link and saw with pleasure that you are the same Fr. Andrew I've run into elsewhere.
Dear Father,The allegation that the Episcopal seat of the Metropolitanate of Hong Kong and South East Asia is "VACANT" was not merely "a comment on a talk page". This allegation was "incorporated" into the article by a certain Marcus (an Orthodox from the Philippines, a former ROCOR member) and he wrote:Cheers!
