Western Christianity
Greetings! A few of us have noticed that you object to the collection of Catholic and Protestant liturgical practice under the umbrella of "Western Christianity". We appreciate your desire to make Wikipedia clearer and more precise, but the overwhelming consensus from the beginning is that it is useful and expedient and not inaccurate for us to describe similar—or even identical—practices and beliefs under this term. Now, "Protestant" does not apply to all types of Protestants, especially those who have jettisoned the liturgical General Roman Calendar and the Lectionary. But for high-church Anglican, Lutheran, and other mainline Western ecclesial communities, there is more in common with Catholic discipline than there is divergence. So we feel it is not useful to segregate these descriptions, in fact, it will wind up with much repetition and redundancy as we describe identical practices in two or more sections. Thanks for your interest, and have a very good day! 2600:8800:1880:91E:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 19:02, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Canterbury Cathedral
The history has been divided into rough periods: Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Norman, Plantagenet and Modern. The Reformation clearly falls into the modern period (using either the conventional date of Bosworth Field or the alternative of Henry VIII's accession) as the start. Furthermore your edits are corrupting the article's formatting so I am about to revert you again. If you disagree please start a discussion on the talk page and we will see what the consensus view is. Regards, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 10:37, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

I see that while I was writing the above you have sorted out the formatting. I'll not revert you therefore, but will be opening a discussion about the headings. There is no need to repeat the date of the founding of the monastery, it is covered in the "Anglo-Saxon" period (para 2). Martin of Sheffield (talk) 10:49, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
