Comment

There is a quite lengthy article on no: about Bergoglio that can be translated, instead of mendeling with the copyright article. no:Jorge Beroglio Profoss 22:42, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations! Now our work begins

I expect lots of edit warring here, so this is a request to editors to take issues to the talk page before making controversial edits to the article. Andrew³²⁷ 19:22, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regnal Name

Just to nip the inevitable edit war in the bud, why is it "Francis" and not "Francisco"? Localized name thing? Matteric (talk) 19:22, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

NPR is calling him "Franciscus" so does that localize to "Francis" ala St Francis of Assisi (USA) or San Francisco (Espanol)?

Francis the First

Where's the ordinal? First Non-European Pope in History on March 3, 2013

None needed. There is no second.Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)^[1] 19:25, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was notable that John Paul I chose to be use the ordinal and was the first to Pope to be "XXX the First". Clearly Francis I is following in this tradition. Move. jameslucas (" " / +) 19:27, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pius?

Here it says Pius XIII.

It's Francis I

It has been proposed in this section that Pope Francis be renamed and moved to Francis I.

Pope Francis → Francis I – Sources are giving his name as Francis I. I would have done a simple move but that page redirects here so I can't. Smartyllama (talk) 19:26, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is there proof that the 'Francis' refers to Francis of Assisi, not Francis de Sales? Both are saints - de Sales was a bishop and is a Doctor of the Church. I was unable to hear the official announcement of the regal name, but it would be good to confirm this association, rather than assume it.

Pope Francis I

Title should include the ordinal I, as Pope John Paul I, but somebody already redirected that here. Grsz 11 19:26, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The ordinal is only used for the first when there's a second. John Paul I was only John Paul until John Paul II was elected. 86.9.122.202 (talk) 19:28, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 13 March 2013

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Pope Francis. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
