[edit] Holocron?

Just looking at the history page here, not sure what Holocron means by "what's the problem?".

Didn't mean to do anything wrong! Hope everything's OK - sorry for the re-edits - I can't really get a feel for what it'll look like without viewing the live page!

I feel like a dumb @$$! I didn't bother to read the first sentence in the artical. I thought Sexton was some new form of church (like catholic, or protestant, or Lutheran). I just dicovered this myself, when you have changed something in an artical, instead of clicking save page, click "show preveiw". Good work on the artical, BTW.--Holocron 17:07, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip - that's good to know!

I don't know what it is, but there is something wrong. When I looked at your edits it says they were done on October 19, 2004. Are you having trouble with a certain vandal? I can take care of him for you if you are.--Holocron 18:26, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Once again I feel like a dumb @$$. I was looking at the wrong person.--Holocron 18:46, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

No worries, dude! I made quite a few blunders myself yesterday! I think it's the weather! Brianlacey 19:37, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revisions

Let me start by saying specifically to Neutrality that I'm in no way interested in wheel warring! However, I have a significant problem with his revisions. No harm to non-Christians, but I don't think there's any need to change the description of a sexton as someone who maintains "churches" to "places of worship" as by definition a sexton is an official of ONLY a Christian Church. Supplementary to this, pointing out the jewish counterpart's title is like editing the article of Christian ministers to indicate that their jewish counterpart is called a Rabbi. I just don't think it adds anything useful to the article. But by all means, let's see a separate article written on the jewish version! 82.18.181.186 20:11, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References

I took off the no reference warning from the page since I just added a bunch of references. A few comments:

  • The jobs duties listed are not all listed on the US government resource I cite. So someone else should add references specific to those. (IE: maintaining LAN cabling?)
  • The reference I cite for combining the job with verger is admittedly weak, because it cites one institution that had the job combined. It doesn't address the article's statement of 'often' combined. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Colinbartlett (talk • contribs) 12:25, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possible merge suggestion

I have never heard of a "beadle", but it seems to me that perhaps that article should be merged into this one, or that this one should be merged into that, with appropriate redirects created. Any thoughts? Tomertalk 08:39, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
