:In His Footsteps:----
I found the original quote from Clement at www.ccel.org/fathers2/, and am going to put that text back in without commentary, and with the citation. Hope that's sufficiently NPOV. (And no, I didn't insert the original text quoted above, and fully agree with its removal.)  Wesley

In my tweaks and tightening, substituting another quote for paraphrase, etc, I've removed the following, which is factually incorrect:
:According to Acts i:21 - 22), Matthias was one of the seventy disciples of Jesus, and had been with him from his baptism by John to the Ascension The author does subtly imply that the 120 gathered about had been with Jesus since his baptism in the River Jordan, which is stretching a point. Matthias is not individually singled out. Does this point, made to strengthen the authenticity of the newly-chosen apostle, need to be discussed in the article? --Wetman 20:11, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Of the Interwiki links made by a bot a few days ago, all that were in languages which I could make any sence out of (sv:, pl:, it:, fr:, nl:) pointed at S:t Matthew. I changed sv: and removed the rest (don't speak those languages). I also removed zh:, ko:, and ru:, assuming that they too, added by the same bot at the same time, were likely to be false. /Dcastor 02:16, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Going along with the tradition that Matthias died in Colchis, I recently witnessed a grave marker for him placed in the Roman ruin at Gonio in Georgia (unfortunately the marker gave little information about the source(s) of this tradition).  I added this information to the article.

message: Are you sure that this image represents Saint Matthias? The Greek caption says Ο Αγιος Ματθαίος -> Saint Mattheos = Matthew and not Matthias (Saint Matthias would be: Ο Αγιος Ματθίας).

message: This years Anglican Common Worship lectionary () describes the commemoration of St Matthias on May 14th, not February 24th. I don't know enough to suggest when this changed or whether either date is 'traditional' Gw russell 20:32, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Fox's Book of Martyrs says that he was stone at Jerusalem and then beheaded. Here's the text: "Matthias 
Of whom less is known than of most of the other disciples, was elected to fill the vacant place of Judas. He was stoned at Jerusalem and then beheaded." Saksjn (talk) 22:18, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Matthias the Apostle → Saint Matthias — The issues here are similar to a recent move of "Saint Matthew".  This person is already the primary meaning of "Saint Matthias", and is the only Christian saint of this name.  There is a "Saint Matthias (disambiguation)" page, but this mostly lists churches and the like, the only other person here is a religious con artist who sometimes used this name. Relisted for further input. Jafeluv (talk) 21:56, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

text: "They existed before the formal sainting system was developed" is a historical and theological minefield, which, although it would be appropriate to discuss in the context of some articles, would be better not to get into for the purpose of deciding article names. PatGallacher (talk) 11:27, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

text: I quote the naming conventions for clergy at WP:NCWC: "Saints go by their most common English name, minus the 'Saint', unless they are only recognisable by its inclusion. For example, Paul of Tarsus, Ulrich of Augsburg but Saint Patrick."  So I suggest this doesn't violate any policy, it is allowable. PatGallacher (talk) 14:37, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Something peculiar seems to have happened here. It looks as the discussed move was never actually made? Anyway, moved now. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:01, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, or alternatively I've probably just misread the discussion above. Ooops. Someone will probably reverse it. Well anyway, it's hardly an NPOV naming. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:03, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I have just put in a little information about St. Matthias' Day. Does any one think it might deserve its own article? ACEOREVIVED (talk) 15:59, 29 december 2000 (UTC)
:I've tagged your recent insertion as needing a reference to prove it is legitimate info. Please supply that link before someone deletes it as your original research.
:As far as deserving its own article, that would be up for you to decide. If you have enough material (and references to back up that info), anything is deserving. Ckruschke (talk) 17:55, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Saint Matthias →  – For consistency with highly related Christian religious figure articles, including: Andrew the Apostle, Bartholomew the Apostle, John the Apostle, Jude the Apostle, Matthew the Apostle, Paul the Apostle, Philip the Apostle and Thomas the Apostle, and per the clergy guideline WP:NCWC that dissuades from the use of 'Saint' unless it is the only option for disambiguation. ~ Iskandar323 (talk) 17:49, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
