Huh![edit]

What did I do? Shame me! By mistake, I reverted to Stevertigos version and back again. That wasn't my intention! Ninnyhammer me! Rursus 06:50, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please assist[edit]

SVG newbie I am trying to remove the epithet for the Assyrian Church on the last line, and I made some code with Amaya that is not working for some reason. Someone please assist me with this if you have the time and energy. In short, I am simply changing out "Nestorianism" for Assyrian Church, and removing the line below that. Thanks.

Got it I just downloaded Inkscape, like anyone in his right mind would. Koavf 06:24, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion explanation[edit]

I reverted the change Roman Catholic -> Catholicism. (I have no opinion or preferences about the Restorationism dotted line.) There is an ongoing discussion at the en Wikipedia page for this file. The change in question is controversial, and I believe in violation of Wikipedia's NPOV policy. Consensus or compromise should be reached before the image is altered in this respect. The problem is that "Catholic Church" describes many of the churches listed, and not only one; it's use for one thus expresses the POV that it is more correctly used for that church and none of the others. "Catholicism" is even worse, because as a generic "-ism" label it includes Anglicans, Eastern Orthodox, and others as well. It is incorrect to say that en Wikipedia has "chosen" against the term Roman Catholic; the issue remains controversial. (On the other side, the claim is that Roman Catholic refers only to the Western or Latin church in union with the pope.) Note that the church in question uses the adjective "Roman" frequently to refer to its whole (western and eastern) self. Interested parties should please join the discussion over at the en Wikipedia talk page for this image, and please refrain from making controversial edits until some kind of consensus is achieved.

straight line games[edit]

An editor has twice altered the image to have a straight line for the Roman Catholicism line. Long agreement is that this would express an impermissible POV. Please don't repeat it; it's disruptive. 174.127.47.2 22:21, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Assyrian POV[edit]

It is really very incorrect to call the Church of the East as the Assyrian church. Please revise. Also the Church of the East was only Nestorian until the 544AD Synod of Mar Aba. it entered schism again because of John of Damascus. Chrislamic.State (talk) 20:40, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
