[edit] Proposed Merger
The Prince Bishops article is rather bare, and I can't see a reason why we should need to have a separate article from this one (with fewer links and details). It also gives unnecessary confusion between Prince Bishop and Prince Bishops. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.11.13.181 (talk • contribs) on 23 March 2007.
I have altered the merge tags to give a preferred direction for the merge. I note also that they were placed back in March 2006 and there has not been much interest. In my opinion Prince Bishops of Durham should be merged to Bishop of Durham as the latter is the ongoing article and the former is part of the history of the latter. --Bduke 12:43, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism
Where on earth has the list of bishops gone? There's a reference to an article which apparently doesn't exist and never has... whoa, and we have a horribly messy edit history too. Ugh. Time to fix this. Shimgray | talk | 17:54, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- And looking at other articles, a lot of old bishoprics have been inexplicably vandalised like this... gah. Lots of cleanup. Shimgray | talk | 17:57, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] New arms, based on Fox-Davies' drawing
I've created this image, which I'll leave up to someone paying attention to these articles, to include in this article. It is based on a drawing accompanying an article by the venerable Fox-Davies on ecclesiastical heraldry, though I had no blazon to work to. Greentubing 08:14, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Recent change
I deleted the sentence that said that the Bishop of Durham is the senior-most bishop of the province of York, as it would seem to make more sense that the Archbishop of York would be. I know how these things work, though, and I realize that there may be some obscure technical reason why this might not be the case. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.
