Talk:Roman Catholic Diocese of Nottingham

12 or 13 deaneries
Recent revisions have added development about "deaneries", adding sections for each of 12. The infobox states there are 13. --Doncram (talk) 03:08, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

formatting sourcing inline or separately
Hey, i see a standardized formatting is being used in the new tables for each deanery. This includes a "Description" column and a separate "Sources" column. Personally, i don't like separating the sources, because it begs the question "sources for what?" And it suggests to me that the sources are padding, when I can't see what they support. And in practice this introduces confusion/lack of clarity on which specific assertions are supported by which specific source. Template:More footnotes needed is a maintenance tag which states "This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations", which arguably applies here. If/when any source is an offline one, or one or more source's link goes dead, it becomes impossible to check whether the set of assertions made for the topic are adequately supported, and makes it hard to maintain/develop in the future.

When creating entries in the related, same-formatted List of Roman Catholic churches in Leicester, i used multiple inline sources in several entries, and i think they are being stripped away to stand separately/unconnected. Can we change this? Or, i dunno, are there guidelines about this in particular? --Doncram (talk) 00:57, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

'Saint'
Recent edits have used the abbreviations 'St.' and more rarely 'S.', rather than 'St' which is more commonly used for British Wikipedia subjects. (For example, the titles of each church in the diocese with its own Wp page uses the 'St' form.)

I am inclined to alter 'St.' and 'S.' to 'St' throughout, but thought I would let others comment first. Nedrutland (talk) 07:37, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
 * No objection here. I was not aware of the British variant. Cbl62 (talk) 07:52, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Now completed. Nedrutland (talk) 07:02, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Blanked section
I have blanked the entire section which was a directory of churches within the diocese. See policy at Wikipedia is not a directory. Springnuts (talk) 18:10, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
