Suggestions/discussion to avoid conflict while editing
Editing on Wikipedia can be peaceful and harmonious otherwise it is way to stressful.
@Slp1: I opened this up in hopes of creating harmony while Governor Sheng and myself are editing on the same pages. Please comment and offer your suggestions.
@Governor Sheng: please offer your suggestions too.
- Neither one of us should have to ask permission to add well documented information to a page because no one "owns" a page.[1]
- We should assume that we both are editing in Good Faith [2] - Ask rather than accuse.
- Because of the conflict between us, it seems best that if there is a question or suggestion regarding one of our edits, we bring it to the talk page with respect. Avoid reverting, changing or shortening either of our edits without an agreement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Red Rose 13 (talk • contribs) 16:29, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
Intro needs editing
The first four paragraphs are clumsy and it is not until the last sentence of the fourth paragraph that Vatican approval of the apparitions is mentioned. All four paragraphs need editing, with the last sentence of paragraph four moved up to the first paragraph and some other content cut. It is clear the information was added sequentially over time by multiple editors and should be rewritten to reflect the most recent events. Editor1963-a (talk) 10:18, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Most of the content of sections #Local Catholic Church response, #Commissions investigating Medjugorje and #Position of the popes should be merged into the main article on the topic, Catholic Church response to the Medjugorje apparitions.
Is someone willing to do that? Veverve (talk) 14:05, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
Merging
Hello! I am curious to hear the reasoning behind the merge. Why don't we merge the opposite way, putting all content from Catholic Church response to the Medjugorje apparitions into Our Lady of Medjugorje? The Our Lady article is much larger and it seems to me that a Church response to the event belongs on the page for that event. However, I have only recently discovered these pages, so I am just asking the question based on a cursory glance at the pages. Veverve and FaviFake, do you have any insight on this? Thanks in advance! OrdinaryOtter (talk) 17:49, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
Sure, this is just another way to perform the merger. Once the two pages are merged, then we can discuss the title of the resulting article at WP:RM.FaviFake (talk) 18:33, 19 February 2026 (UTC)- If the current merge directive is followed, several sections from Our Lady will be merged into Catholic Response, but the Our Lady page will still have lots of content. So we will end up with two articles with different content. OrdinaryOtter (talk) 19:03, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- Right! Sorry. Your proposal of 1 single page does sound better. FaviFake (talk) 20:16, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

- The idea is not to have everything in one bloated article, but to WP:SPLIT; and in this case the split was already done and now the content needs to be moved. Veverve (talk) 21:10, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
