Catholic vs Roman Catholic, Justification Page

Hello!

I was the one who had attempted to make the "Roman Catholic" to "Catholic" change. The argument has effectively already been made in the following page...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_(term)

The Holy See itself refers to the Church, as it historically had in the early centuries, as the Catholic Church.

If there is further consensus that needs to be gained, how may I go about doing so? (I'm new to the entire Wikipedia arena)

Thanks! Patriotic524 (talk) 05:06, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

If necessary, I can also provide evidence that even in the Early Church, other Christian groups differentiated themselves in name from the Catholic Church. Patriotic524 (talk) 05:11, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

I would also point out this article as well. Please see the "Churches" tab.

The point regarding the Justification (theology) article is that Lutheran and Reformed Christians regard themselves as "catholic" too, so in an article comparing different views they need to be properly distinguished. StAnselm (talk) 05:29, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
Eg the Anglican Communion. I find the title of Portal:Catholic Church NPOV. And see Catholic Church (disambiguation) which clearly uses the term to refer to other denominations. Doug Weller talk 10:45, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Question From a Journalist

I'm doing a story for Gizmodo on how editors monitor pronoun changes on Wikipedia. I've noticed you've contributed to a few pages by contributing the correct pronouns for folks who transitioned later in life/were known by their dead names during their professional lives.

A heads-up

You recently applied a {{db-repost}} to Derek Chauvin. This speedy tag is only supposed to be used for repostings, not brand new versions of previously deleted articles.

If you aren't sure this is not a brand new or substantially changed version of the older article I suggest you withdraw your speedy. If you really think this new version also merits deletion would you please consider initiating your concerns in a new AFD? Geo Swan (talk) 23:07, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Well, I have now simply reverted back to the redirect. Of course, not being an admin, I have no way of knowing how similar the new version is to the deleted version. But the consensus was clear that there should not be an article about this person. StAnselm (talk) 23:10, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
The end result certainly needs to be a redirect to the main article. The only question is whether the revision history needs to be deleted. StAnselm (talk) 23:16, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
I'm confused, though - are you suggesting the article should be kept? StAnselm (talk) 23:17, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • BLP1E is routinely misinterpreted. It doesn't say that every single individual who is known primarily for their involvement in a single event should have our coverage of them shoehorned into an article on that event. Yet people routinely act as if this is what it says. BLP1E explicitly says when the individual's role is central to the event a standalone article may be justified. Killing of George Floyd is already too large. I made a bunch of edits to it today, and kept bumping up against edit conflicts, as other people worked on different aspects of the article.
There is information we should cover that would be off topic for Killing of George Floyd. Kellie Chauvin filed divorce papers against Derek. She was getting death threats. Does that really belong in KoGF?
Do the 17 previous disciplinary events in Chauvin's police dossier really belong in KoGF?
No, they do not. In my opinion all four officers may merit stand alone articles. In my opinion George Floyd merits a stand alone article as well. Geo Swan (talk) 23:26, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Your courtesy blanking of Derek Chauvin

Could you please go to Talk:Derek Chauvin and explain the basis of your courtesy blanking? Geo Swan (talk) 23:12, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

This article is much more detailed and contains real content instead of a pure BLP violation like the Derek Chauvin (police officer) article. Both WP:1E ("If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." and WP:CRIME ("The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event") allows such articles. We're talking about a monumental incident that has sparked mass protests, rioting and political unrest nationwide and worldwide. It's obvious that Derek Chauvin, whose actions are behind all of it, is worthy of an article of his own. Se James Holmes (mass murderer) and Dylann Roof as examples of BLPs allowed for perpetrators of high-profile crimes.Kebabpizza (talk) 23:30, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Invitation to RedWarn

Hello, StAnselm! I noticed you have been using Twinkle and was wondering if you'd like to beta test my new tool, RedWarn, specifically designed to improve your editing experience.

  • Easy to use - Unlike other tools, RedWarn uses easy to interpret icons and simple summaries for common actions, reducing both learning and reading times.
  • Supports rollback and rollback-like functionality - Unlike Twinkle, RedWarn supports both rollback and rollback-like functionality for users will rollback permissions. This decreases waiting times during rollbacks.
  • Making life easier on the battlefield - Ever been in the middle of a vandalism war or campaign, frantically reloading the history page to see a new edit? No more! Enabling RedWarn's "Alert on Change" feature will automatically send you to the latest edit when a new edit occurs - and if you're working on something else, RedWarn will send you a notification while the tab is still open in the background. No time wasted.
  • Rollback previews - If you're ever worried about the changes a rollback will make, especially in the case of reverting good faith edits, you can click the rollback preview button to preview the difference a rollback will make, with the version that will be restored on the right, and the latest revision on the left.
  • Always the latest revision - RedWarn will automatically redirect you to the latest revision if the rollback is no longer for the latest revision - no more frustrating errors.
  • Fast - RedWarn can automatically select a warning level, and, on vandalism and content removal rollbacks, automatically select a warning template.
  • Built on your feedback - RedWarn is receiving frequent feature additions and changes based on your feedback. If there's something you don't like, or would like to see, just say!
  • and many more features ...but I don't want to fill your userpage.

RedWarn is currently in use by over 50 other Wikipedians, and feedback so far has been extremely positive. If you're interested, please see see the RedWarn tool page for more information on RedWarn's features which I haven't listed here. Otherwise, feel free to remove this message from your page. If you have any further questions, please ping me or leave a message on my talk page. Your feedback is much appreciated! Ed6767 talk! 14:11, 10 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

"National Church"

You reverted my edit of the Episcopal Church in South Carolina, arguing that there was no evidence that the tension between the diocese was with the (international) Episcopal Church. I think this is based on a misunderstanding. While the term "national church" is common, it is also misleading. See Province 9 of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America and Province 2 of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America -- you will find that Haiti and Europe, Ecuador and Venezuela, are every bit as much a part of the Episcopal Church with which South Carolina had tensions as the Central Gulf Coast or Chicago. Do you have a specific problem with the term "larger Episcopal Church as a whole"? Is there a reason to emphasize the national (i.e. specifically U.S.) character of the tensions, and to imply that the tensions were not with the Episcopal Church in the British Virgin Islands, but only with that part of the Episcopal Diocese of the Virgin Islands located in formerly Danish colonies (purchased by the US in 1917)?--Bhuck (talk) 00:33, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

OK, fair enough. I think "national" was there to indicate that it wasn't a tension with the wider Anglican Communion. StAnselm (talk) 04:11, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
I did not intend to imply that the tension was with the wider Anglican Communion, though of course there were plenty of tensions within the Anglican Communion as well, but those are the subjects of other articles. I have deleted other references to the "national church" now, and replaced them with phrases more specific to the Episcopal Church within and outside US borders. In one place there was a reference to disagreements with "national developments" which could have implied secular politics as well, though of course those were not meant. I don't think the controversy is about nationalism or patriotism at all. I did, however, leave the reference to a national church in the article about the history before 2012, where it refers to the founding of the Episcopal Church as a national church, because at that time, in the late 18th century, the issue was one of "dissolving the bands which have connected" one people to another, and there were no Episcopal Churches in Ecuador, Taiwan or Italy at the time, as there are today.--Bhuck (talk) 19:41, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
