Talk:Rossikon

Panteleimon points to saint panteilon - are they the same, and if so what is the signficiance of the different names and should it be brought out on this page? Midgley 22:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)


 * 'Rossikon' appears to be a nickname for the monastery, meaning 'Russian' because it is a Russian Orthodox monastery among a Greek community. This article should be merged to Monastery of St Panteleimon, which is the monastery's full and proper name. Jack1956 (talk) 10:44, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Articles merged and 'Rossikon' redirected by me. Jack1956 (talk) 23:21, 15 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The relevant information was merged by me some time ago into one article. 'Rossikon' is not the full and accepted name for this monastery..it is a nickname meaning 'Russian' because the monks there were Russian rather than Greek. As the work has been done and the articles successfully and accurately merged I don't see the point of bringing it up again.

I note that the Rossikon article was created by the editor who keeps reinstating the merge tag because the merge went the other way... a case of injured pride? It doesn't matter which is the older article, what matters is which is the more informative and accurate. Jack1956 (talk) 10:51, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
