Articles about Amish denominations (sects, subgroups) were stubs for a long periods of time. I think there are few trusted sources of information about separate Amish groups and differences between them. If new verifiable information will be, redirects can be converted back to full size articles. Alexander Roumega (talk) 15:42, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A couple random things that seem out of place

♦ Etymology of Swartzentruber - Is this necessary? While I found that little paragraph interesting, it seems to just be trivia, which I thought was disliked here on Wikipedia? It seems especially odd since there's no discussion of the origin of other Amish surnames. A section or article regarding Amish surnames & where they come from might be a nice addition to Wikipedia, and the area I think this paragraph should go into. I propose this paragraph be deleted or somehow worked into the article so it's not just a bit of trivia.

♦ Troyer Church/Tobe Church? - The header for this section says Troyer Amish, the first sentence refers to a Troyer Church, then the rest of the section refers to a Tobe Church. In particular, these two sentences throw me: The Tobe church remained mainly in Wayne County although they split into Tobe Old Order and Tobe New Order. The Troyer church eventually moved to... Does anyone know which it is? The two bishops mentioned in regards to this subgroup both have the surname Troyer, so I'm inclined to believe it's Troyer Amish/Church. I'd like someone who's more familiar with the topic to chime in on this & perhaps even just fix the section. Thanks! Kailey elise (talk) 12:23, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
