[edit] move
moved to Anglo-Saxon Christianity (redirect from Christianization of the Anglo-Saxons); 410-1066 corresponds to Anglo-Saxon England. dab (𒁳) 10:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, but 'Anglo-Saxon' might by definition exclude Celtic Christianity and developments in Scotland, Wales, Ireland and North East England.Neddyseagoon - talk 10:25, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- well, the article doesn't discuss that, does it? it links to Celtic Christianity, where Scotland, Wales and Ireland should be treated. The awkward scope was honoured by an empty h2 section linking to Celtic Christianity. It will be much cleaner to discuss Anglo-Saxon England here, and Wales/Scotland/Ireland there, and have each refer to the other as required. Strictly, Christianity in the British isles 410-1066 could be a dab page, but the date-range makes clear that Anglo-Saxon England is intended (what happened in Ireland in 1066?) dab (𒁳) 10:51, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- I would have liked a single article on Early Insular Christianity, and if the title needed to be less anglo-centric the millennium would have been fine as an end-date. There can still be one, mostly in summary style, with more focussed articles like this one. Angus McLellan (Talk) 11:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- Early Insular Christianity sounds good too; I apologize, I thought the move would be uncontroversial. If somebody is willing to write such an overview article, that would be splendid, but as it is, the present article does in fact treat Anglo-Saxon, not pan-British, Christianity. dab (𒁳) 12:26, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- No objections to the move here. Just thinking out loud! Angus McLellan (Talk) 14:22, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
