• @Bloom6132: I did a little cleanup and copy edit, including resizing the small text in the infobox (MOS:SMALL). In the lead sentence, who is responsible for looking after its spiritual and administrative needs I feel that "looking after" might be a bit informal. Would it be worthwhile to change this to one of: attending to, tending to, caring for, taking care of, managing, or similar? The current archbishop is Christian Lépine. I'm always wary of "current" when this might fall out of date. How would you feel about changing this to: Christian Lépine has been archbishop since 2012. One more thing: in the picture captions, it says one bishop reigned for a period and another served for a period. Should these be the same for consistency, or is there a distinction? (BTW: these notes do not affect pass/fail of the DYK.) – Reidgreg (talk) 16:53, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
• Query: I did not spot where the footnote source for Christian Lépine states that he was born in Montreal. You can use this for verification. Also, the hook fact for ALT0 is phrased a little differently in the article: Lartigue, the first ordinary of the archdiocese, was also the first of seven bishops and archbishops born in Montreal. We could assume from context that this means "bishops and archbishops of Montreal" but perhaps this should be explicit so to not include people who were born in Montreal and became bishops elsewhere (such as Gerald Emmett Carter who became archbishop of Toronto). Suggest: Lartigue, the first ordinary of the archdiocese, was also the first of seven bishops and archbishops of Montreal who were born in the city. One final matter: the tag on the picture should be updated to indicate that it is public domain in the United States, which I believe to be the case. – Reidgreg (talk) 16:53, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
  • @Reidgreg: I've added a ref from CTV News for Lépine, rephrased the sentence and added the PD-US tag per your suggestion. Cheers! —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:31, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
    • Verified changes, all good.
    • Approve ALT0, ALT1, ALT2. Article created the day before nomination, is long enough, neutral, and well cited. No copyvio detected. QPQ verified. Picture is in article, displays well and is tagged PD. Hooks are short enough, formatted, neutral, verified and cited in article. I feel that the three hooks are each broadly interesting, so approving all three. – Reidgreg (talk) 12:44, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Reigning

@Elizium23: Hi, I'm in no way an expert on bishops or bishoprics, but have never heard of a bishop "reigning" over their diocese. Do you have a good source that explains it? Thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 00:14, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

It is customary, but I would not object to a more modernized term such as "serving" which is used for others in the article. Elizium23 (talk) 01:15, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Changed as suggested. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 13:31, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
