Proposed Oriental Orthodoxy project

edit

There is now a new proposed project at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Oriental Orthodoxy for a group which would focus on articles relating to the Oriental Orthodox Church. Any individuals interested in working with such a group should indicate as much there, to allow us to know if there is enough support to actually begin such a project. Thank you.

Move to Holy See of Cilicia

edit

It is good form to open a discussion on the talkpage before making a unilateral move. Is Catholicossate of the Great House of Cilicia a better name than Holy See of Cilicia? The former may in fact be the official designation but may not be the most common name. I am not at the moment in disagreement with the move but would appreciate an explanation. Would the moving editor please offer his rational? Aramgar (talk) 21:15, 12 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Their website calls it that, with only one S though. I don't really know either way. Adam Bishop (talk) 03:12, 13 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
Holy See of Cilicia (in Armenian Kilikio Sourp Ator) has never been and is never an official designation and is very colloquial at best. Some even use it as a detrimental reference in their daily conversation and usage of the term is considered very disrespectful when addressing the catholicosate in any official or even semi-official manner. The official name is clear: Catholicossate of the Great House of Cilicia (Կաթողիկոսութիւն Հայոց Մեծի Տանն Կիլիկիոյ). The move made a great disservice to official name of the catholicosate werldwayd (talk) 15:37, 13 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
Since it is the heading on their official website I don't think we need to worry - WP:COMMONNAME. Johnbod (talk) 16:19, 30 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
