Richard:it is not correct to redirect Presbyterian to Church of Scotland. They are not the same thing, although the historical connection is important. I have removed the divert. --Martin Baldwin-Edwards 08:36, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
- a redicrect means there is significant informationm there--and there is--not that the topics are identical. Look at the Schaff-Herzog encyclopedia, which covers C of S under the heading "Presbyterian." at [1] Richard Jensen 08:40, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
- That is not my understanding of how to use redirects on CZ. I will ask about it. For the moment, I prefer just to have a link there, although we need at least some text...--Martin Baldwin-Edwards 09:52, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
- I guess I have not seen any CZ policy on redirects. The basic problem is that we do not have an article on Presbyterianism, and my goal was to help people interested in that topic by taking them to the most relevant article.Richard Jensen 17:13, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
- I would not make to much fuss about it, when the time comes and someone one to make both good articles, it will happen. Kim van der Linde 17:30, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
- My reasons for making a fuss are twofold: first, someone might think that Presbyterianism is a synonym for the Church of Scotland: secondly, that the redirect prevents someone from easily creating an article there. These two things are an important part [or should be, anyway!] of overall policy on CZ. --Martin Baldwin-Edwards 18:32, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
