[edit] About encyclopedic thinking

This has been hived off Apse without the addition of notable new text. Never a very good practice, if the Wikipedia reader is kept firmly in mind. Several juicy paragraphs of information on chancel, enough to have unbalanced the article Apse if they were still there, would show me to have judged wrongly. As this article expands, do please think to revise the brief version that continues to appear as a section at Apse. Dividing articles into the smallest possible alphabetizable "entries" (see this alphabetized index) clearly reveals "dictionary thinking". Let's keep articles encyclopedic!--Wetman 00:56, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I entirely agree in principle. However, a chancel is never part of an apse. Sometimes there is an apse at the east end of the chancel, but there are zillions of examples where there isn't. Chancel certainly needs an article to itself - look at all the pages that point to it. --GuillaumeTell 10:32, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
