Dioceses issue

Hello, @Referencer12: Please briefly stop editing the short descriptions of these articles as some of them appear to be erroneous and/or not properly formatted. "USA" is not part of the MOS, and a couple that are getting short descriptions state they reference Latin diocese when they do not or feature non-Latin territories as well. Otherwise, appreciate the effort and hope that you can continue plugging away at them. ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:42, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Pbritti Hello, thank you for reaching out. I'll stop for now until I receive clarification and clearance. Referencer12 (talk) 22:51, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Pbritti Looking at the MoS & the List Catholic Diocese in the USA page, I believe only the description for the list page is erroneous (all territorial diocese should be Latin Catholic). Regarding MoS, I can go back through the edits I made to change US to United States. Does that sound good? Referencer12 (talk) 22:59, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Referencer12: Excellent, thank you so much for taking the time to remediate and confirm. Very appreciated. Good work! ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:37, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Short description changes

I noticed you're doing a broad change on short descriptions, including removing the particular sui iuris churches the jurisdictions belong to and replacing them with "Eastern Catholic". I'd caution against lumping all 23 ECCs together as "Eastern Catholic" when they often share very little besides the highest level of canon law and when we can say the specific sui iuris churches–even when it's redundant. If you feel confident preceding, I have no intention hindering you (and I actually approve for the most part), but this is a pretty broad change to significant number of articles and I just wanted to give you a heads up regarding potential backlash. Keep up the good work but anticipate nastygrams, I guess. ~ Pbritti (talk) 05:28, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pbritti Thanks for reaching out about this. I've been finding it difficult to decide if Eastern Catholic eparchy... is the correct option or some other should be used. My big reasons for doing it EC instead of eg "Chaldean Catholic..." is since per wp:ShortDesc a Short Description should, among other things:

avoid jargon, and use simple, readily comprehensible terms that do not require pre-existing detailed knowledge of the subject
avoid duplicating information that is already in the title (but don't worry too much if you need to repeat a word or two for context)

Though the name of a specific church isn't jargon per se, it's likely not a "readily comprehensible term" for most AND it usually ends up "duplicating information that is already in the title."

The biggest counter in my mind to using "Eastern Catholic" is that a SD should also help with disambiguation, which a description of "Eastern Catholic" etc doesn't do for cases where multiple churches have an eparchy in the same location (as is often the case with especially patriarchates.) However, this might be remedied by having the SD's for those specific cases list the tradition (eg Alexandrian, Byzantine, etc?) Referencer12 (talk) 05:59, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your reasoning is sound I think you should carry on with it but I wanted to just mention that we ought to avoid "traditions", even though some Roman documents have toyed with those descriptors. ~ Pbritti (talk) 06:14, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
