Article tag?
Your project has two article talk page tags, {{WikiProject Christianity|anglicanism=yes|anglicanism-importance=}} and {{WikiProject Anglicanism}}. Which one would you prefer to use.

New Diocese being created in Yorkshire Article Name
I was wondering if this page should be moved from Anglican Diocese of Leeds as the New diocese will be called the Diocese of West Yorkshire and the Dales as per the following references [1], [2], [3], [4] and [5]--Mharris99 (talk) 14:19, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
Categorisation of Anglican priests
I have opened a Requests for Comments discussion on the categorisation of Anglican priests.
The discussion is at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Categories#RFC:_Categorisation_of_Anglican_priests, where the contributions of members of this project would be particularly helpful. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:53, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
- The RFC has been closed today with a "clear consensus to categorize Anglican priests by both nationality and denomination". --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:37, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Could someone in the project please Talk Page assess this new one please. Many thanks. Acabashi (talk) 01:43, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Dear Anglicans: This old AfC submission will soon be deleted as a stale draft. Is this a notable topic, and should the page be kept and improved instead? —Anne Delong (talk) 21:27, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
Diocese categories and article titles
Some of the categories are inconsistent with the articles, such as Category:Diocese of Leeds where the article is Anglican Diocese of Leeds and Diocese of Leeds is a disambiguation page. Is there likely to be a proposal to rename these articles or should I list the categories at WP:Categories for discussion? Peter James (talk) 18:19, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

List of Church of England dioceses
I have nominated List of Church of England dioceses to go up on the main page, and some concerns have been raised here, specifically with respect to sourcing. Any help you are able to provide in finding additional sourcing for the information in the list would be greatly appreciated. Neelix (talk) 02:49, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Bishop category renaming
We have a category renaming now for Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_November_29#Category:Bishops_of_Egypt which is potentially disruptive to the category structure in any province where the dioceses are named after states or provinces or even countries rather than after cities. There's already been another discussion Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_October_1#Category:Bishops_of_Jamaica which eliminated such a category. Please weigh in on this discussion so that we don't have a piecemeal and inconsistent category structure. Mangoe (talk) 17:52, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
Names of churches
Re: St Helen's, Ashby-de-la-Zouch. This articles is being discussed for possible FA status at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/St Helen's, Ashby-de-la-Zouch/archive1. The church's website indicates that the name of the church is St Helen's Church, not St Helen's as the name of the Wiki article might suggest. Any comments? Snowman (talk) 09:14, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Go ahead and move it. Every other CoE church I've seen is at "St. Mungo's Church, Blogshire" or the like. Mangoe (talk) 20:05, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Does Church of England consistently use possessive forms in their church names? Catholicism does not, it is seen as folksy and informal. Elizium23 (talk) 00:16, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- Also, does St Nicholas, Blakeney, another church article need moving to "St Nicholas Church, Blakeney"? Snowman (talk) 13:31, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- This is tricky. The formal names of Anglican cathedral churches follow a standard pattern: "The Cathedral Church of ....." (see St Paul's Cathedral; Chichester Cathedral). I am fairly sure that other churches are formally named in the same way (except perhaps in villages with only one church where the formula "VILLAGENAME Parish Church" may be found). Therefore any bringing the name of the dedication forward in front of the place name is a popular form rather than an official one. My impression is that, in general, the phrase is shortened to something like either "The Ascension, PLACENAME" or "St John's, PLACENAME", the use of the "'s" being avoided when the dedication was not to a saint or sounded ugly (e.g. St Peter & St Paul; St Nicholas) — Jpacobb (talk) 23:37, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Names of dioceses, revisted
Is there a policy within the project to enforce articles titles of the format Anglican Diocese of Foo or Episcopal Diocese of Bar, even if the diocese calls itself something different? I'm referring particularly to the article for the Episcopal Church in Minnesota, currently titled Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota. —C.Fred (talk) 20:31, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- I'd say if in doubt, WP:COMMONNAME wins the day, which in this particular case according to a quick Google Books search seems to heavily favor "Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota". Huon (talk) 21:09, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
Please see the discussion on the article talk page. Does anyone object to the proposed move to reflect his customary form of address? Tim riley talk 12:31, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
- With one support on the talk page and no opposes there or here, I'm posting a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting technical moves. Tim riley talk 18:31, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
