Edits to Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina

I think we're both trying to achieve a more NPOV article, but going about it different ways, and that could quickly escalate into an edit war, which I think we both want to avoid. It is not Wikipedia's job to take sides in ecclesiastical battles, and I think that some could interpret your edits as siding with The Episcopal Church, and mine as siding with the autonomous diocese. Assuming good faith, I believe we both want to present the data fairly, rather than take one side of the debate as true. To that end, I suggest we make the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina page ambiguous, with both competing bishops listed along with their legally contested status, and redirect readers to a separate article for both the autonomous diocese (which I will make, titled Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina (autonomous) and the Episcopal Church diocese (which already has a page). Sound good to you? Peace, --Wikibojopayne (talk) 00:44, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps complicating the issue, but also seeking neutrality and fairness, I proposed the new "autonomous" article for deletion. I hope that hasn't made this harder to resolve. The reason I did this is explained on the talk page. Kotobagaari, instead of just editing, could you maybe explain what you're trying to do on the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina talk page?
