Talk:St Mary Magdalene's Church, Ribbleton

Untitled
The correct name for this church is The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene. Unless anyone strongly objects I propose renaming this article St Mary Magdalene Church, Ribbleton. Comments requested
 * If you remove the possessive "'s", you must replace it with the possessive "of". The convention in naming churches would be, in this case either, as it is, or "Church of St Mary Magdalene, Ribbleton".  I suggest you check this with the hundreds/thousands of church articles in Wikipedia, and you will find that the vast majority adhere to this convention.  For the sake of consistency IMO it should either stay as it is, or change to the suggested alternative (although I see no benefit in that). --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 10:18, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. The old programmer in me doesn't like imbedded apostrophes within keywords but I'll go with the convention. It is still correct to add the final "e" to Magdalen though since that is its offical name. Prestonmag (talk) 12:16, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Fine. One source (Pevsner) omits the "e", the other two sources include it. (Pevsner did not get everything "right"!) --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:50, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The guvnors give it an e: But not sure why Ref 1 seems to link to "The Ascension"? Martinevans123 (talk) 20:35, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * An error, now corrected. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 20:48, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The Ascension and St Mary Magdalene are joint churches in the Ribbleton parish. The diocese page for The Ascension give the parish officers whereas SMM doesn't. I'll add the "e" tomorrow and try to talk to the parish about how they would like the references to go.
