# Talk:Bristol Cathedral

This is the offical name, and wiki policy is to use the offical name.--Jirate 21:26, 2005 Mar 6 (UTC)

No, the policy is to use the common name. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names). This should be at Bristol Cathedral. --rbrwr± 21:35, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Absolutely agreed with Rbrwr, Wikipedia policy is most certainly to use the generally used name of an object - in this case "Bristol Cathedral". Can someone return the talk page and article title to its proper name? - Adrian Pingstone 22:44, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Thank you, Adrian. I certainly intend to move this back (and it's the article, not just the talk page) if no-one else does, but I'm diplomatically waiting for things to develop at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Irate and Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Curps at the moment. --rbrwr±
I've moved the said back to Bristol Cathedral as per policy and consensus here. I have lived near Bristol over a decade and I have never heard the Cathedral called by anything longer than St Augustine's Abbey and then rarely Thryduulf 23:03, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Good. However,I am going to restore the formal-name-first order in the first paragraph. That fits with the convention in articles aobut people, where, for instance, Tony Blair starts, "The Right Honourable Anthony Charles Lynton Blair..." --rbrwr± 23:10, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It is said that Giles Gilbert Scott was consulted in 1860 but he was born only in 1880. Some mistake feel I here. Elrond1 2eleven (talk) 09:49, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
