Change Her brave protest would be increasingly vindicated over time as the true scale of the church's corruption and suppression of these abuses was made known through the media and elsewhere, perhaps most prominently in the 2015 Oscar-winning movie Spotlight, which won Best Picture and Best Screenplay at the 88th Academy Awards. to Public opinion toward O'Connor'a protest became increasingly positive over time as the true scale of the church's corruption and suppression of these abuses was made known through the media and elsewhere. per WP:WIKIVOICE and WP:NOR. 2600:1702:4430:A10:10AC:315D:4D2D:6447 (talk) 05:17, 21 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

I would remove this fragment altogether. She ended up converting to Islam, she was mentally unstable and ended up committing suicide. In truth, it's the Christian doctrine of John Paul II that she proved right :) Malecide (talk) 00:23, 22 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Infobox Photo

I am but a wandering non-editor passing through, but it seems ludicrous that there isn't a better picture in the public domain out there. As is the picture is ridiculously fuzzy and has his eyes in shadow. 2601:240:C400:DD30:20A1:DD11:7C1F:D042 (talk) 05:05, 6 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Pope John Paul II was not ‘head’ of the Catholic Church, he was ‘vicar’. The Catholic Church teaches that Jesus Christ is the head. Wahwahwebster (talk) 10:16, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Plainlist vs. Hlist

edit

Hi! I've been trying to standardize saint infoboxes, and I've found that the vast, vast majority of them use hlists, or at least plaintext lists separated by commas. I disagree that the ubl style looks better, especially for long lists of patronage. I changed it back before checking the revisions, which *is* on me, but I do stand by my opinion here.

Template:Infobox person#Inline lists provides some good general advice on appropriate list formats for persons. In general, the advice is that {{hlist}} is okay when the terms are short and the list is just a few items and that {{ubl}} is appropriate for longer terms and longer lists. The |patronage= parameter exhibits both longer terms and a long list.
As described in the template documentation, {{indented plainlist}} is appropriate when you have items that are long and/or that might more difficult to tell apart. It provides a cleaner layout of the elements and aids in discriminating one from another and it avoids the use of bulleted lists where space is taken by the bullets. See, for example, the use of {{indented plainlist}} in the |previous_post= and |education= parameters.
The use of {{indented plainlist}} in this article for |patronage= has been there for over a year and so consensus for it has occurred implicitly (WP:IMPLICITCONSENSUS). Consensus can change. However, per WP:STATUSQUO, I will revert back to the status quo ante bellum while the discussion is ongoing.
I invite other editors to share their opinions on the list format to use to see if there is consensus for a change.  — Archer1234 (t·c) 23:50, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
