Category talk:British bishop stubs

Highly overpopulated category?
"This category is for stub articles relating to bishops and archbishops of the United Kingdom", we are blithely informed. A quick look at the contents shows this is not the case for the great majority of these clerics. Some of them lived more than a millenium before the UK was created in 1801. So what are they doing here? Talk about revisionism! And if we are supposed to accept that it means they lived in a territory that is now in the UK, does that mean that pre-UK bishops from what is now Northern Ireland are to be included as well? That'll go down well in some quarters, I'm sure! Enaidmawr (talk) 00:32, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
