kpjas -- this is a nice list, but I'm not sure it really needs to be here -- are we going to put lists of bishops of every fairly large diocese on the site? also, could you perhaps do some clean up and change names to the commonly used English spellings where appropriate? I changed a couple, but am not sure of lots of them. Thanks! JHK

JHK You may have a point: do we really need that? I may have started this with the bishops of Tours, mainly because for early history it is important. For later history perhaps not so. J Folmer

Hello,
First, I must say I hold your opinion in very high esteem. The reason I put the list here is to give some background on history of Warmia that is complex not as onesided as Helga Jonat presents it. We have Polish names on the list as well not only German.
The Warmia bishopric is rather special and its history has links to other historical events. Besides we have lists of other bishops as well.
Sorry for the spelling I meant to put it right ASAP.
One good thing Helga does she makes me look deeper in the Polish history after the WW II that is full of propaganda I was taught at school.
Kpjas


Can we extend this list to include Bishop Kaller who we already have article on. (Forget his first name right now.) Rmhermen 10:13 Aug 19, 2002 (PDT)


I think that since Wiki offical goal is to gather all knowledge of mankind then this list is in the right place. Furthermore, I think that this should go on some kind of Special:Categories - perhaps similar to Bishops of Honolulu. I would like to see categories of several levels - religious officials -> to bishops of x province. But I am just passing by here (wrote about Jan Olbracht Waza).

Couldn't help overhearing: I've just started Bishop of Sion, who was an important prince-bishop in the Swiss canton of Valais until 1630. Roman archbishoprics should certainly all have entries, for a start. Then selected historical dioceses, without running to one of those extensive yet incomplete lists...

Marcin and Martin

[edit]

OK, I see another German v. Polish revert war. What exactly is wrong with writing Marcin Kromer? I known Martin is the English name, but Marcin Kromer is the name of the article. - Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 12:21, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Martin Kromer is the name the catholic encyclopedia uses ([1]), and also outranks Marcin Kromer on Google ~700:500 ([2]:[3]). Maybe the article should even be moved, but in any case the other variants of the name should be mentioned in the text.-- Chris 73 | Talk 18:36, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
