[edit] Clarification needed

What is a "staretz"? It's used twice in the end of the article, but I don't think that the layperson reading the article would know what it means. --Eddylyons 20:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

A staretz or starets is an Elder or spiritual advisor. There is a Wikipedia article about it here: Starets. MishaPan 18:30, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spruce Island or Kodiak?

The first line says he died on Kodiak, but the infobox says Spruce and the body text appears to imply the same thing. Which is it? Lockesdonkey 16:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

For heaven's sake, it was easy enough to check and fix... TCC (talk) (contribs) 22:14, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Herman?

I think the correct name would be "German", as "Herman" is German name while "German" is Roman name. I see it unlikely he had German name. Also his name is written "German" ("Герман") in Russian.--Dojarca (talk) 18:01, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
