Unsourced/unexplained statistics

Hello, someone has been fiddling with the statistics on numbers of the faithful in this article. The data is already cited to the Annuario Pontificio but the year is not specified. This in itself is an error, and should be addressed. But there is a huge difference between 10 million and 18 million, so we cannot accept the changes without a specific source cited for them. Thank you. 2600:8800:1880:188:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 18:22, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Eastern Catholic Churches → Eastern Catholic churches – This is a repetition of a request made a couple of years ago by myself (under former username): Talk:Eastern_Catholic_Churches/Archive_3#Requested_move_16_November_2016. However, I'm not sure the two commentators understood the rationale. This article doesn't cover a communion of churches. It covers a few churches. Not Churches. We routinely disregard Certain American Way of Spelling of Things. PPEMES (talk) 11:21, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

• Comment: This might a bit tricky. At first I thought to support it, because it refers to a class of things rather than a single thing. However, I wonder if it could be considered a proper noun since it is a specific group of 23 churches. —BarrelProof (talk) 14:24, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

This is not a "specific group" or "class" of churches. It is merely... Eastern Catholic churches - in communion with the Pope. Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches is another thing. PPEMES (talk) 20:32, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

• Support. "Eastern Catholic Churches" is not a proper noun. Srnec (talk) 20:43, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
• Support per Srnec. —Ntmamgtw (talk) 18:09, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
