Pentarchy
You are quite right. The Patriarchs in Justinian's Pentarchy were precisely those in communion with himself and with the Patriarch of his capital, not the non-Chalcedonians. Lima (talk) 19:15, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I hope you don't mind me altering somewhat the edit you made. There was and is no ambiguity or dispute about the identity of the sees.  There was and is a dispute about who were and are the incumbents of those sees.  Lima (talk) 19:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it is an anachronism to speak about the patriarchs of that time as Greek orthodox. They would surely think of themselves and speak of themselves merely as orthodox.  But I will not oppose your addition of the word "Greek".
 * By the way, if you add something on your user page - anything at all, even a single letter, your user name will no longer appear in red in the revision histories etc. At present the red colour shows that you are still a newcomer.  I wish you a happy time editing Wikipedia.  Lima (talk) 20:02, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't notice your addition of "the Holy See". I think that even today no Greek Orthodox would refer to the see of Rome as "the Holy See".  But I leave it to others to fix that too.  Lima (talk) 20:10, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I will alter it then to Bishops of Rome. I think this is quite accurate and neutral Melathron (talk) 20:11, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

How do you justify opposing ignoring Wikipedia policy--Carlaude (talk) 16:47, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The article also has POV but that is a minor point for the issues at hand. I have seen articles with worse POV. --Carlaude (talk) 14:56, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
