Hello Huldra
I would like to discuss with you something you have edited, but I'm new here and not sure if you'll reach this message. Zoroasteros (talk) 23:51, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok, I got the ping. What can I help you with? Huldra (talk) 20:00, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello again {,|Huldra}}. I want to discuss something you have added to the page Maghdouche. You mentioned that "In 1875 Victor Guérin found it to be a village with 300 Greek Orthodox inhabitants." In French, Guerin wrote that the inhabitants of the village were "grecs unis". In his book he mentions "grecs shismatiques" and "grecs unis". I think the translation nowadays would be "Greek Orthodox" and "Greek Catholics", respectively. The word "unis" means united with the Vatican if I'm not mistaken. Also, the current inhabitants of the town are Greek Catholics. Please correct me if I'm wrong, otherwise, I can ask someone expert and more research. Thank you!

 * I'm so sorry, I missed your answer. Alas, I frankly don't know the answer. I have been trying to walk in Guérin's  footpath, see User:Huldra/Guerin, as you say, in his book he uses Grecs shismatiques and Grecs unis. Should the first redir to Greek Orthodox Church, and the second to Eastern Catholic Churches? Huldra (talk) 21:13, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello, don't worry about that. I actually was too busy the last two months to check Wikipedia. I just did and noticed that you replied few hours ago. What a coincidence! Anyway, I think "unis" refers to "Greek Melkite Catholics" in particular (not other eastern Catholics), and "schismatiques" refers to "Greek Orthodox" (the Greek Orthodox Church of Antakia). I'll check with an expert later and let you know. Good luck with your project, walking Guérins foot path. That seems very interesting. Let me know if I can help.
 * Hi again, Is that the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch and Melkite Greek Catholic Church? And feel free to add material, that is, places, to the User:Huldra/Guerin! Cheers, Huldra (talk) 23:05, 3 November 2017 (UTC)  PS, btw, your   doesn't work,  unless you sign your post with ~

Hello, yes those are the churches I'm talking about. I'll ask more about that when I come back to Lebanon. Zoroasteros (talk) 11:52, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks. I have always wondered what Guerin meant when he used those expressions, and a confirmation as to which churches (i.e. which Wikipedia articles) those expressions should be redirected to, would be much appreciated.
