[edit] Choir
Should there be an article about Ely Cathedral Choir?
- If you have enough material to create a decent stub, why not? - Ballista 05:22, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- Added a small section, feel free to write more! --Stefan 18:26, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lady Chapel
"The cathedral was soon refounded in 1541. Later, during the English Civil War, the lady chapel had many of its statues destroyed by Puritans under the control of Oliver Cromwell." What's the source for this? The leaflet I got from the cathedral yesterday seems to think that the serious vandalism occurred in 1541 ("in 1541, soon after the dissolution of the monastery, windows were smashed and sculptures removed or defaced.") I wonder which is right? --Ewx 11:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- Well, I would imagine that the leaflet is correct, in which case I'll change the entry. It's perfectly acceptable to make changes yourself, though, if you know they're wrong. Bob 18:15, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lists
I suggest moving the two lists of abbots and abbesses as they do not add much interest to the article. Perhaps incorporate them into the Bishops of Ely article? --Stefan 18:27, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
I agree, they are really of little relevance--Dwyatt 101 16:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Titles
Iceflow reverted all my edits, including deletion of silly church titles, saying that "it had been discussed before". Where? --Attilios 14:30, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- As the CofE is an established church (Ely is not a Catholic cathedral by the way) they are more than just church titles. He and I had a discussion about which people should be listed, possibly more on his talk page than here (or possibly even just in earlier edit summaries for the page), I can't remember if the styles themselves were actually discussed, but I'm not sure what precisely your objection to them is, they are in common use in England. In addition, it is possible in the CofE to have lay canons, and someone who has been ordained a bishop (usually someone who has been a suffragan i.e. assistant bishop) can then be appointed as the Dean of a cathedral so the titles give a certain amount of useful additional information about people who are not necessarily notable enough to have their own Wikipedia articles. Those entitled to style themselves "Dr" have probably gained the title from a normal secular university (unless any of them are Lambeth degrees), so those are not purely "church titles" in any case. Your edit summary ws perhaps slightly misleading, in that it only mentioned the removal of the titles, rather than the image and other changes, which are comparitively easy to overlook, even in a diff. David Underdown 14:46, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep the titles. They are there for a reason, and I'd hardly call any of them "silly". Stefan 03:13, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
