Talk:Mission Santa Barbara

Untitled
I converted all instances of "Mission Santa Bárbara" to "Mission Santa Barbara" because the mission's own website generally uses the spelling without the acute accent. If we wanted to use the Spanish spelling it would have to be "Misión Santa Bárbara" anyway, so "Mission Santa Bárbara" is just plain inconsistent. --Angr/undefined 11:56, 4 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Good: thanks.  I've never seen it spelled with the acute accent myself; it's certainly not done that way locally.  Antandrus  (talk) 15:04, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

In my opinion is the address 34°26′02″N, 119°43′04″W slightly wrong; at least I couldn't find the church with this address. But I found by trial and error: 34°26′18″N, 119°42′47″W —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.193.12.17 (talk) 16:24, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Questionable facts
(A) My understanding is that the parish at Old Mission Santa Barbara is called St. Barbara Parish. The parish has been in existence for many many years which it is still a Franciscan parish, clergy is appointed by the Provincial, not by the Cardinal. Many years ago it was decided that The Franciscan Friars would turn the parish over to the LA Archdiocese in which would take care of its ministers and staff. To say that the parish "rents" the space is somewhat incorrect. The parish does make very large contributions tot he Franciscan Friars but it is only to defray the cost and maintenance of such a beautiful historical building. The parish does contribute to the Franciscan Friary but not as renters. I, too, work for the Mission. I think we should be as clear as possible how we label the many entities of the OMSB. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.214.244.221 (talk) 17:20, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

(B) Articles on Sebastian Vizcaino and Saint Barbara both say area was named Santa Barbara 184 years earlier in 1602 by the explorer Vizcaino, though no citations are given. Can someone check if the founding date was chosen because the name already existed, or the name was chosen in 1786 because of the founding date? Numbersinstitute (talk) 17:35, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Current function and affiliation of Old Mission Santa Barbara
The Wikipedia states that Mission Santa Barbara is currently a parish church affiliated with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Correct, but incomplete. It also contains a museum,a gift shop, a Franciscan Friary and a retreat house. The Mission is owned by the Franciscan Province of Santa Barbara which is geographically much larger the Los Angeles Archdiocese. The parish actually rents the church from the Franciscans. It would be nice to include SOME of this, although I'm not clear about how I'd edit it (oh, I work for the Old Mission Santa Barbara.)72.214.244.133 (talk) 23:29, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Feature Article Request, 26th of February, 2014
I just want to request if I could have this article feature this article on the main page. Thanks, Jutty10, editor of Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia --Jutty10 (talk) 23:41, 27 February 2014 (UTC)


 * The article will have to be improved to WP:Good article status first, meeting the WP:Good article criteria. After that, it will have to be improved further to the more demanding WP:Featured article quality, satisfying WP:Featured article criteria. Following all that, an appropriately historic date can be chosen for it to become WP:Today's featured article, displayed on the main page. Such a date might be some time in the year 2020 when the mission celebrates the bicentennial of the second dedication. There are a lot of steps to follow before the end result can be achieved.
