[edit]I moved it from Dziekana Palace (Dziekan=Rector). In English, it would be Rector's Palace. Polish a is unecesary if we do a partial translation. Thoughts? Ping User:Nihil novi, User:Poeticbent. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:33, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- I've copyedited the article, adding some details from the Polish Wikipedia.
- Please note that, after its burning, the structure was rebuilt for "Dziekan [Dean] J. Raciborski."
- It was a deanery, as defined in Wikipedia:
A deanery (or decanate [the Latin-derived cognate of the Polish word dziekanat]) is an ecclesiastical entity in the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of England, the Evangelical Church in Germany, and the Church of Norway. A deanery is either the jurisdiction or residence of a dean.
- (Thus, Jonathan Swift is otherwise known as "Dean Swift".)
- The word "dean" is commonly applied in certain academic and in certain ecclesiastical contexts.
- A dean is "the presiding official of a cathedral [e.g., St. John's Cathedral, Warsaw] or collegiate church." A deanery is "the official residence of a dean."
- (A rector, in the Roman Catholic Church, is "the head priest of a parish.")
- Accordingly, I propose that Warsaw's Pałac Dziekana, in the English Wikipedia, be rendered as "Deanery of St. John's Cathedral, Warsaw".
- "Ulica Dziekania" would be "Deanery Street" in English.
- Thanks.

- If there are no questions or objections, in a day or two I'll expect to move the article from its present title, "Dziekan Palace", to "Deanery of St. John's Cathedral, Warsaw".
