replies: text: Capuchins are "the chief and only permanent offshoot of the Franciscans." All Capuchins are Franciscans, but not all Franciscans are Capuchin; Capuchins are a part of the Franciscans order. So he's both. Neutralitytalk 22:16, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thus, regular Franciscans sign their name with "O.F.M.", while Franciscan Capuchins use "O.F.M., Cap." and Franciscan Conventuals use "O.F.M., Conv."  The nuns have a variety of other initials.  If you get confused, just remember that the Capuchins are the ones with the silly hats. Lawrence King 05:12, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Which St. John did he take his name in honor of? John the Baptist or John the Apostle, I assume. TimBentley (talk) 00:35, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Which John?

message: I took the liberty to correct the article title because this is how his name is most often cited in his own archdiocese newspaper The Pilot. Beemish 23:14, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

message: This article names Cardinal O'Malley as "sex offender of the year" and that he is "proud" of this award.  Is there any documentation for this?  Who "gave" this award? Are there lawsuits against the cardinal?  If there is no documentation, this would seem defamatory and unfair to level a very serious charge without ANY citation of any kind.DaveTroy 17:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  citation as sex offender? 

message: Just a side note, the Cardinal does not have a monastic habit, as he is not a monk.  The OFM Caps are religious, but not monastic.  Benedictines would have monastic habits for example.DaveTroy 17:29, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I combined 3 small sections into 1 about politics, i think it looks nicer hopefully nobody disagrees if you do then revert it and discuss  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smitty1337 (talk • contribs) 20:04, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Combine small sections 

message: Including O'malley in this series without listing him into any of its catagories seems a bit useless. I've reconsidered my prior objections after reading through the series I've found that he would fit just fine into the subcategory "Category:Anti-pedophile activists in Catholic sex abuse cases" due to his activities in Fall River and Boston. But far more information regarding his role would be required to warrant such inclusion, I'm not opposed to this so long as its kept reasonable in contrast to the rest of the article without undue weight given to it. I'm going to leave the template alone but I will add the category Smitty1337 (talk) 12:27, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello, I have started a discussion on Talk:Sean O'Malley that watchers of this page may be interested in. See Talk:Sean_O%27Malley#Requested_move_26_September_2021. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:56, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notice of requested move discussion 

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: (non-admin closure) NOT MOVED.  Based on this discussion and the previous RMs for the MMA fighter, there is a consensus against a move to Sean O'Malley (without parenthetical disambiguation), and a separate consensus against Seán O'Malley (with a diacritic and without parenthetical disambiguation).  The natural disambiguation through a middle name is preferred to parenthetical disambiguation.  User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 01:00, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Seán Patrick O'Malley →  – It was successfully argued on the talk page of the fighter Sean O'Malley, that the Cardinal's common name was Seán O'Malley, and as a result the fighter's page was moved. If that's the case I don't see a reason why the Cardinal's page shouldn't be moved.  ♡RAFAEL♡(talk) 10:28, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

replies: text:  Hate to burst your bubble but the fighter won't be deleted via AfD, he's considered notable by fighting in the UFC more then three times, a policy that will likely never change.  ♡RAFAEL♡(talk) 13:35, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really the topic here, but I'd be willing to bet otherwise. I'm a huge proponent of subject notability guidelines, but I don't see that one actually having community consensus and a well written nomination by someone respected in the community could probably get it deleted after he retires. Anyway, we don't go against a common house style just because of COMMONNAME. If anything, the solution would be to change the disambiguation page to a redirect here (, do you have thoughts on that one? I could go either way.) TonyBallioni (talk) 06:24, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't actually think there is any sort of convention, on Wikipedia or otherwise, that Catholic bishops use full names or middle initials (I assume you're only referring to American Catholic bishops here in any case). WP:COMMONNAME is all that's important and is not trumped by any sort of project house style. But given in this case his full name is often seen I have no problem with retaining the status quo. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:10, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
