Separate Wikipedia article for the 15 December 2018 unification council?
Would it not be better to create a separate Wikipedia article for the 15 December 2018 unification council? All this information now in this Wikipedia article about this one day event makes the article hard to read and too lengthy for me.... —  Yulia Romero  •  Talk to me!  21:32, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, but not yet. It's too fresh. Laurel Lodged (talk) 18:17, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Unification council of the Orthodox churches of Ukraine, I did it because I saw there were already pages in other languages. Veverve (talk) 02:17, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Indeed so: for instance, the ru-wiki has a pretty well elaborated entry on this topic, not to mention the Ukrainian entry, of course. So, this looks like a timely and legitimate move,--and thanks for doing this!--Yasya (talk) 23:01, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: No consensus. There are a lot of issues at play here, and I suggest discussion continue as to how to resolve them, but regarding this specific move request there is clearly no consensus to go ahead at the present time. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 14:22, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Orthodox Church of Ukraine → Ukrainian Orthodox Church – WP:CONCISE 2600:8806:6400:1440:75A7:6A62:4080:6B54 (talk) 01:02, 9 January 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. Steel1943  (talk) 19:14, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). –Ammarpad (talk) 05:26, 9 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Needs discussion per the existence of articles such as Orthodox Church of France, and the fact that both "Orthodox Church of Ukraine" and "Ukrainian Orthodox Church" seem to be commonly used. feminist (talk) 05:13, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * It is the official name of the church in its charter (see the article) and in its tomos, just like the Church of Greece and the Church of Cyprus. Moreover, it helps to differenciate from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate). Besides, the expression "Orthodox Church of Ukraine" is widely used.  Lastly, "Ukrainian Orthodox Church" is only allowed as it has been precised in the article by a bishop of the OCU. "per the existence of articles such as Orthodox Church of France" I do not get what you mean. Veverve (talk) 08:45, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I reject the proposal to change its name for the reasons mentioned above.--TheCaliBook (talk) 15:01, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * If this move is not made, what should be the destination for Ukrainian Orthodox Church? The status quo has been a redirect to History of Christianity in Ukraine but it has just become a redirect to Ukrainian Orthodox Church (disambiguation) (an invalid situation per WP:MALPLACED).  It will help if expert editors can review incoming links, such as that in Dioceses of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople footer (used in 24 articles), and retarget them to the appropriate article.  I am willing to help but don't have the subject knowledge to do this competently.  Certes (talk) 12:57, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I noticed the problem cited by Certes in Kievan chant, and made Ukrainian Orthodox Church a redirect to this article, with a hatnote here pointing to the disambiguation page. I hope that this solution will satisfy everyone. —capmo (talk) 14:42, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Seems feasible.TheCaliBook (talk) 22:27, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * "If this move is not made, what should be the destination for Ukrainian Orthodox Church?" links which before led to Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) should still link the UOC-MP article. Veverve (talk) 23:14, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * All of those links led to the same place: History of Christianity in Ukraine until December 2018, since when the target has oscillated between Orthodox Church of Ukraine and the disambiguation page. I expect some of them should lead to UOC-MP instead.  Normally in such cases I go through the links and can quickly divert most of them to an obviously correct target, but here I don't know which links intend the UOC-MP and will have to hope that subject experts can fix them. Certes (talk) 01:13, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * My edit to Ukrainian Orthodox Church has been reverted by with an irate edit summary that reads "THIS HAS NOT BEEN DECIDED TO REDIRECT THE ARTICLE. Stop with the BIASED NONSENSE." After reading History of Christianity in Ukraine I understood better the whole situation regarding the UOC-MP. Maybe the redirect should have "History..." as its target again, as it did for the last 7 and a half years. —capmo (talk) 03:02, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I support the idea of capmo of leaving things as they are. Veverve (talk) 03:41, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * It pesters me how since this has happened, the West is confusing Orthodoxy with a centralized, Bartholomewic papal structure, and the history of Christianity in Ukraine. It should be left to the history article or the disambiguation.TheTexasNationalist99 (talk) 04:55, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Link to similar discussions from long ago: Talk:Ukrainian Orthodox Church (disambiguation). Certes (talk) 10:27, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * While we're here, is everyone happy with and several other titles redirecting to History of Christianity in Ukraine?  Also pinging, as the main participant in the older discussions.  Certes (talk) 10:41, 11 January 2019 (UTC)


 * A major problem right now is that the disambiguation page is poorly done. From reading it, one would think that no Orthodox Church existed in Ukraine at all until 1924. Unfortunately, the linked articles are not much help, because there are multiple of these churches that claim to be the "original" Ukrainian Orthodox Church going back 500 years. This whole situation needs to be blown up and rebuilt from scratch, but pointing "Ukrainian Orthodox Church" to the disambiguation page is neither permissible nor helpful. bd2412  T 12:09, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. Having in mind the complexity of all subject related to Eastern Orthodoxy in Ukraine, it seems to me that titles like Orthodox Church of Ukraine and Ukrainian Orthodox Church should not be used as article titles or redirects, since several church bodies are using the same nomenclature. Therefore it would be best to use those titles for disambiguation pages. That solution would be neutral, and quite useful, since it would fix several problems. And in regard to the title of this particular article, it might be moved to Orthodox Church of Ukraine (2018) or something like that, since that particular church body was created in 2018, and this article clearly covers only the period since 2018. That is quite a narrow scope, and it should be reflected in the title. This is not a general article on Eastern Orthodoxy in Ukraine, and therefore current title should be adjusted to reflect the particular subject of its contents.

romfea.gr not a reliable source financed by the Moscow Patriarchate, i.e. the kremlin//OrthodoxTimes

 * OrthodoxTimes apparently has no link anymore to Romfea, although this is an info from the very biased OrthoChristian. Veverve (talk) 21:53, 26 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Pursuant to the request by Veverve on my TalkPage, I repeat my comments regarding the publication posted on OrthodoxTimes web site titled Name of Patriarch of Alexandria was removed from Diptychs of Moscow Patriarchate that purports to cover the decision by the Standing Synod of the ROC of 26 December 2019 dealing with the ROC′s reaction to the recognition of the OCU by the Patriarchate of Alexandria at the start of November: While I normally have no issue with their publications, this particular piece was obviously written hastily and in a sloppy way, without even properly reading the decision of the ROC Synod. First, the article contains some factual errors: "Exarchate of the Moscow Patriarchate in Alexandria into a Russian church" -- even the Synod′s decision itself clearly says the ROC representation is in Cairo (see http://www.rusmissionafrica.com/basic-page/raspolozhenie-hrama.html ) and of course it is already a church, now to be also a parish. Secondly, "to make them stauropegic monasteries" is also wrong, which is probably due to the fact that the authors do not know that the ROC has such thing as stauropegic parishes (патриаршие подворья), bizarrely, a lot of them in Moscow itself. In fact, the synodal decision does not change anything much of substance as all the parishes (churches) in question (a handful in fact, mostly in Morocco) had always been in effect directly under Moscow run as they were by the Directorate for overseas establishments ( http://www.patriarchia.ru/uzu/ ). The name of the Patriarch of Alexandria had been commemorated, just out of courtesy. Besides, the article oddly refers to Legoida a multiple times without any good reason. We now have a formal decision by the Holy Synod, which is, in and of itself, perfectly perspicuous. The article also contains a highly confused and confusing sentence: "He [Legoida] added that the Moscow Patriarchate had not severed full communion with the Archbishop of Athens and the Metropolitans of the Church of Greece either". Veverve has been kind enough to explain the issue with Legoida, which confirms my suspicion that the piece was written in haste, apparently before the official publication of the resolution. By saying this I am not impeaching the credibility of OrthodoxTimes, which I think is Ok for covering the Greek sources/Churches, the only quibble being their poor English.Axxxion (talk) 02:25, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

vote on Dec 15 2018
"The council voted to unite the existing Ukrainian Orthodox jurisdictions: the Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kiev Patriarchate (UOC-KP), the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (UAOC) and a part of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP)." Which part of the UOC-MP did they want? or rather, should this say "The council, which included all hierarchs of the UOC-KP and the UAOC, and some hierarchs of the UOC-MP, voted to unite" or something to that effect.--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 03:21, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * The goal de jure was to unite the three Orthodox churches of Ukraine, hence the current formulation. However, de facto only a small fraction of the members of the UOC-MP participated in the council. Veverve (talk) 06:12, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Recognition
https://www.eurozine.com/the-changing-dilemmas-of-ukrainian-orthodoxy/ says - "OCU has not been recognized by the other Orthodox churches". Article says - "(OCU) is a partially recognized". may need to fix it ·Carn· !? 09:46, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * The Eurozine article is wrong. The WP article clearly states with RSs that they are recognised by some EO Churches. Veverve (talk) 10:10, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Calendar reform in Ukraine
Please translate this article to English Wikipedia. It is not necessary to translate the entire content, only the important elements. This is now a very important and socially discussed topic in Ukraine. 95.47.59.254 (talk) 00:28, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

Reactions sections
Don't the reacts to the declaration of autocephaly belong on an article on that topic? It seems to me that this article should just have which Eastern Orthodox churches recognize the church and which don't, not "reactions". It's been a number of years now and a church is not an event.--Ermenrich (talk) 19:36, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
