[edit] Anglican Apology

In discussion with an Anglican friend they informed me that the Anglican church had apologised for the destruction of Our Lady's shine at Walsingham. However, I cannot find a public record of this. Can anyone provide further information? SlipperAndBarefoot 18:22, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I very much doubt that this is correct. What is meant by the "Anglican church" and who is the apology to? Anglicanus (talk) 03:49, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Advertising

This article may do little more than list Anglican parishes with some link to OLW and as such may be advertising rather than being an article in and of itself. The images and style of this article is similar in feel and type to another article about Walsingham and OLW and, again, this feels like unified advertising from a central source rather than being an appropriate article. See Walsingham. I mean no disrespect by this although I would appreciate gearing comments.Spiorad (talk) 16:38, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Not sure if 'advertising' is the correct term but the article is certainly overlaiden with links in a way that seems to be contrary to Wiki policies on links. I think they need to be reduced, especially if the links are only to websites of churches with OLW statues etc. and that is the only relevance of the link. Both the Walsingham articles suffer, it seems, from too much editing by OLW enthusiasts. Anglicanus (talk) 03:46, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More details needed

"The title derives from belief that Mary appeared in a vision to a Saxon noblewoman in the village of Walsingham in Norfolk, England." More details are needed of this history. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:31, 20 February 2008 (UTC).

Recent edits most interesting but a source is needed. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:54, 25 February 2008 (UTC).
