Talk:Lists of popes, patriarchs, primates, archbishops, and bishops

message: Since the word "bishops" in the thread title isn't part of a person's title, I don't think it should be capitalized. "[Formal titles] are lowercased standing alone and in plural uses: the prime minister, the archbishop, premiers Brian Tobin and Mike Harcourt." (Caps and Spelling, Canadian Press) Discussion? - Montréalais
eh...why do we have to spend so much time arguing over capitalization?  So long as we make a redirect from the one, I don't see that it's worth worrying about.  Why not write a new article on something interesting instead of wasting time on disputable style points? (not to say you're wrong, of course, just that I'm really, really sick of arguments over capitalization, especially in article titles, given that usual English language conventions are that titles ought to be capitalized.  Couldn't we make article title non-case-sensitive, or something?) john 06:20 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)

message: The question: I have a virtually complete list of orthodox bishops, but they are at least four hundreds. For the very large majority of them, it is unlikely that we will have a full list in normal times. Is it the case to put them in the menu or not? Because if someone else is putting there 1 or 2 of thems, making confusion between metropolitans and not in full communion and so on, and without ANY list, it is better that I put them all in the menu just to clarify it all. If you believe that they are too many, and that they should be put there only when there is the list, then you should also delete the ones that already are there. I wait for your answer. Thank you!!!

:To respond to both parts, I think perhaps this page should be split up into Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican (or Protestant in general) articles. It's getting rather large now! For the Orthodox archbishops/bishops, I've been trying to make a list as well, but my own unfamiliarity with Orthodox church structure makes it difficult. Should they be divided according to autocephalous churches? And what do we do with metropolitans, as you mentioned? (We could have a separate section in a separate article for Orthodox archbishops/bishops, I suppose.) What about eparchs and exarchs? I'm not sure how to list them.

replies: text: Also, the Roman Catholic archbishops listing is now just going to duplicate List of Roman Catholic archdioceses. So we can probably get rid of those entirely. Adam Bishop 18:10, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Okay, since this page was getting huge now that we've started adding everything to it, rather than just the ones with existing articles, I've split everything off into separate articles (which are now of course listed on this article). 
I hope everyone is fine with this; it seems a little drastic and disruptive but I think everything will work out better this way. Adam Bishop 22:06, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
