Locale, Architecture
This page could use some work on answering the 6W's. Like, "where" is it in Edmonton. And "how" and "why" was it built? Kevlar67 09:04, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

St. John& → St. John Cathedral (Edmonton) — Eastern chruches never seem to use the posesive form when they name churches after saints. I don't know why, that's just how it is. See the official websites and. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 04:51, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose Cathedral of St. John, as the first site quoted, would be acceptable; St. John Cathedral is a failure of English idiom on a site intended largely for non-English speakers. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:33, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Reply I disagree, most Ukrainian Orthodox worshipers in Canada are English-speakers which is why they have services half in English these days. I also disagree that it's improper English.  Afterall it's Chatham House not Chatham's House, and Lester B. Pearson Building not Lester B. Pearson's Building.  And this is not the only Cathedral like this.  See St. Josaphat Cathedral in the same city (different denomination). --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 01:50, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Support It is not a failure of English idiom, and link [2] above is pretty unambiguous that the correct title as defined by the organization itself is St. John with no apostrophe. - 2/0 (cont.) 15:32, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
