Template talk:Roman Catholic ecclesiastical provinces in the United States

Purpose
What is the purpose of this? Gentgeen 05:42, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

This is a test template, along with someone else's to help navigate easily between metropolises/provinces. The "competing" one is also truncated in scope. Mine is terser, his is more meticulous, but longer. You can find his by stepping down mine. I was surprised when I found it, but left it there. Left him a message as well. Neither of us have heard anything one way or another. Student7 11:51, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Nitpicking
You know, this is a list of metropolitan dioceses, not provinces :p (I'm sorry for being a jerk)... IMO I'd do away with this and replace with more detail in the infobox at the top of the articles. 118.90.15.97 (talk) 02:00, 26 November 2009 (UTC)


 * First off, there is nothing wrong with accuracy which is where your comment is going. We need accuracy. Thanks for bringing that up!


 * Second, check Miami. This does point to the ecclesiastical province. I haven't checked the others. Could this be used as a stub for the others? It would diminish confusion which exists among even most Catholics, who think the "Archdiocese" is in charge when it is simply the name of a larger diocese. (Not that the metropolitan has a lot of power either, but that is another story). So yes, articles (stubs?) are needed.


 * IMO this is needed to emphasize the ecclesiastical structure which is fundamental, however weak. Student7 (talk) 21:53, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
