Talk:Order of Malta

Bringing order to Orders
The family of Orders of St John is confusing. There is a good deal of chaos in their organization on Wikipedia. I thought I'd bring a proposal here (originally proposed by User:Boven who now seems to be inactive). I'd like to see the articles written and organized thusly:
 * Knights Hospitaller(covering the general broad history of the order from its beginnings in the Holy Land to present)
 * Alliance of Orders of St John(a description of the structure and purpose of this group)
 * Order of Malta(the catholic order with extended history from the beginnings to present)
 * The Four Main Protestant Orders
 * Balley Brandenburg ("Johanniterorden")(Germany)
 * Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem(England)
 * Johanniterorden I Sverige(Sweden)
 * Johanniter Orde in Nederland(Netherlands)
 * The Four non-German Commanderies of the Bailiwick of Brandenburg
 * Swiss Commandery of the Order of St John(Switzerland)
 * French Commandery of the Order of St John(France)
 * Hungarian Commandery of the Order of St John(Hungary)
 * Finnish Commandery of the Order of St John(Finland)

I think that an organization this way would be helpful. We could also add a category such as or something like that to group them all together, as well as a possible template showing their relationships. What say ya'll?-- Eva  b  d  19:52, 5 March 2007 (UTC)


 * In an effort to keep the discussion in one place, how about we do all the discussing here.-- Eva  b  d  19:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
