"Divine" or "Theologian"?

I have been reading through a fair number of Anglican Articles with historical sections and have come across several references to "Anglican divines". I know perfectly well that it means "theologian", but suspect that a lot of readers will not. Even if they do, wouldn't it be a good idea to use contemporary language in a 21st century encyclopedia?Jpacobb (talk) 00:13, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

The Anglican divines constitute a specific set of theologians who are generally held to define Anglican theological style. Not all Anglican theologians are numbered among the Anglican divines. Mangoe (talk) 00:34, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Urgent Issue with Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh

User:Danbarnesdavies has renamed the article Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh to Diocese of Pittsburgh (Anglican Church in North America). The edit summary says the following, "(Danbarnesdavies moved page Talk:Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh to Talk:Diocese of Pittsburgh (Anglican Church in North America): prefix Anglican incorrect (not actual Anglicans))". Please discuss on the article's talk page. Ltwin (talk) 17:08, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Canterbury Association

Memorial tablet in the western entrance porch of the ChristChurch Cathedral showing the members of the Canterbury Association

The Canterbury Association was an English group of Anglicans that hatched a colonisation scheme, and the Canterbury Region is the result of their grand plan. Some of them emigrated to New Zealand, but many of them never had the intention of emigrating. So far, so good. The Canterbury Association existed for only a few years before it got dissolved. In a quest of finding out a bit more about the group, its membership was researched for a series of books on The History of Canterbury. In Volume I, the group's membership is listed (in Appendix IV) - I count 84 members. After Volume I was published, a memorial tablet was installed in ChristChurch Cathedral.

The vast majority of them already have articles on Wikipedia. I'm guessing that all of them would meet notability criteria. I once created a category and am working my way through the list (so far, I have done 30 members; a further five that I've looked at don't have an article yet).

I asked the Wikiproject New Zealand/politics whether members of the Canterbury Association should come under its scope. The one reply that I received was that they firstly belong to this Wikiproject. Shall I go ahead and add the project on the talk pages? Schwede66 04:15, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Update. The category now has 58 members. I only add articles to the category once the text spells out that they were members, and a reference is provided to back this up. Given I had no feedback on the query above, my decision is that once I've dealt with all the existing articles, I'll go ahead and add this project to the respective talk pages.

Navbox colours

Hi all. Considering we colour the tables claret for bishop lists (thusly), I thought it might be nice to colour bishoppy with a pale claret (thusly), diocesan ones pale yellow (thusly) after the dioceses infobox, deany ones pale blue (thusly) and archidiaconal ones pale green (thusly). Thoughts? DBD 10:54, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

I think it's superfluous, makes the templates harder to read, and counter to the guidelines at wp:accessibility and WP:NAVBOXCOLOR. Frietjes (talk) 17:35, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

I have altered the claret shade to comply with said guidelines. The other three did anyway – I have checked using Snook's tool.

A good idea. However, the colours are not equivalent in terms of hue. For instance, the claret for bishops is a bit muddy, and should perhaps be slightly brighter; on the other hand, the diocesan yellow is too bright and could be toned down a touch. Only my opinion.

It's a nightmare getting these right (especially when you ask a "committee" – speaking as a former graphic designer), so you have my sympathies! – Agendum (talk) 18:58, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

DBD 23:29, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Interesting, but I personally think it's better without the colouring. It looks strange when there are multiple navigational boxes at the bottom of one page. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 03:19, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

That's fair enough, Plastik. Of course, aesthetics are subjective and that is your personal preference. I'm asking the WP members to contribute their ideas. DBD 17:42, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

If colours are to be used I feel this set of four have problems: the pale claret: better to use the same colour already used for "Bishopric" labels; pale blue with dark blue text may be harder to read, maybe something like fawn or sandy might be used here. The yellow and pale green colours look all right.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 20:23, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

I still don't think we need them, but if you are going to add colours, then you should do so using a border colour, either like what is done for rail lines (see Template:Senzan Line) or like what is done for hockey teams (see the title bar in Template:Montreal Canadiens, not the rest of the template) or the top border colouring for succession box headings (see template:s-ach). having the colours defined in one place (a single template) would allow them to be altered without having to change all the templates (see template:infobox religious building/color or template:NRHP style). Again, I am still not in support of the colouring, but if we must, there are ways to do it without worrying about the contrast between the text and the background. Frietjes (talk) 20:39, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

I am supportive of coloring, but only in the manner in the above comment. - Presidentman talk · contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 21:01, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

I think it's a great ideaBashereyre (talk) 10:13, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Cheers, all. Here are some ways border colouring could work:

DBD 12:04, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

I support this proposal. - Presidentman talk · contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 12:26, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

I also like the border colors. Spartacus007 (talk) 14:08, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

border colours on the title are better than border colours on the entire navbox, and if you are going to do it, create a template name {{Anglican navbox titlestyle}} with

{{#switch:{{{1|}}}
| Archdeacons = background: #FFFFFF; border-bottom: #33AA55 5px solid; border-top: #33AA55 5px solid;
| Bishops = background: #FFFFFF; border-bottom: #7F1734 5px solid; border-top: #7F1734 5px solid;
| Deans = background: #FFFFFF; border-bottom: #3355AA 5px solid; border-top: #3355AA 5px solid;
| Diocese = background: #FFFFFF; border-bottom: #FFCC33 5px solid; border-top: #FFCC33 5px solid;
}}

and invoke with |titlestyle={{Anglican navbox titlestyle|type}}, using the various types. I still think no colouring is better, but this would centralise the location of the definitions. Frietjes (talk) 18:09, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

This looks good to me. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 20:06, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Ok, here is a finalish proposal, which would be implemented as Frietjes suggests:

For your questions, comments and/or indications of approval DBD 19:58, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

• Support Seems easy to implement and visually appealing. - Presidentman talk · contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 00:02, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
• Fine with me - I love colours - my students claim that when my OCD kicks in, it's as if I saw a Karner blue butterfy. Bearian (talk) 19:31, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Right, now it's 7 days later. I'm going to go ahead and implement in the manner suggested above. Cheers, folks. DBD 16:43, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
