Model

Alright, so some significant editing needs to be done. Let's take a couple of other similar pages, all Featured articles, as models. Duke University, Cornell University, and Michigan State University are all great examples.--Sycron 19:00, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

All fantastic articles, however given the present direction of this article and the nature of Trinity itself, perhaps it would be most expedient to follow most closely the model of the Oriel College article, also a featured article. Wachowich 04:07, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

The SCR shouldn't been seen as a branch of Strachan, but otherwise this is a good start.--Sycron 01:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Great work so far, however, noting the test under Strachan Hall, I believe it would be prudent to establish a clear distinction between the various buildings, particularly the Trinity building (what’s the official name? Trinity College perhaps) and St. Hilda’s (same question).Wachowich 19:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, much work still needs to be done. I'm starting to fill in the citation holes though, which is good.--Sycron 19:43, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Episkopon: Overlord vs. Overseer.

According to the article Bishop, "Bishop comes from the Greek word episkopos (επίσκοπος, from επι "over" and σκοπος "seeing"). It can be generally translated bishop, overseer, superintendent, supervisor, the first, leader or foreman. From the word episkopos are derived the English words episcopacy, episcopate and episcopal."

Based on this, I changed User:Wachowich's edit See archived version, which included the Greek version of Episkopon, defining it as 'overlord', to a definition stating 'overseer'. I did this anonymously because I wasn't signed in. Sorry. Shagmaestro 03:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Works for me; for the purposes of a neutral point of view in the article, the word ‘overseer’ is lacking in any unwanted heavy connotations. However, for the purposes of factual accuracy and precision of definition, the issue goes unresolved. It seems to me that the key to arriving at such a definition lies in finding the exact meaning of the suffix –σκοπων, which I am presuming differs, however perhaps slightly from the suffix –σκοπος (note particularly the distinction between omega in the former and omicron in the latter). Is there anyone here with enough knowledge of Greek to give a definitive answer?

It should also be noted that at least one source (Hill’s radio program) claims that the word is fabricated, based on English religious terminology of Greek origin, like the word Episcopal. Wachowich

I don't quite understand the reason why this should be included in the page. Wikipedia is not a collection of every fact in the world. Sure, it's a levied club at Trinity, but is it really notable enough to feature inclusion in the main article?--Sycron 02:58, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

TCJBS is LEVIED?! What on earth? I agree that it's probably not notable enough to be included. See the Harvard College#Student organizations for an example of a good club list. Most of those clubs are their own articles though. Anyways, vote to remove. --Shagmaestro 02:45, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
