I've made these changes to the lead so far, please check. There are a couple of points I don't understand
- The work started in 1901 and finished ten years later, after its groundbreaking five years earlier. — so did work start in 1901 r 1906?
- the cathedral was consecrated as a chapel for the Polish parish the same year. — What Polish parish, we're in Russia?
- members of an institute, who resided there since 1956 — what institute?
I recently did a church FA, St Nicholas, Blakeney. You might want to have a look at that, and at the associated FAC archive to see if there were any comments relevant to yours. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:28, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

C&P move
hello,
could you perform a cut & paste move at Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Holy Virgin Mary (Moscow)? Thanks.--♫GoP♫TCN 13:23, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
- I moved the page. There was no restriction on the move, you could have done it yourself by using the "move" tab at the top of the page. SilkTork ✔Tea time 22:39, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
- I meant histmerge ♫GoP♫TCN 14:30, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- I often get terms mixed up! Which articles need merging? SilkTork ✔Tea time 14:32, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- 16:45, 8 December 2011 to 12:26, 3 January 2012? Yes, that is possible. Gulp! I hate history merges. But the more I do the more confident I will become. SilkTork ✔Tea time 15:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- You will lose the current translation. If you want that, I suggest you do a copy and paste before I delete User:GreatOrangePumpkin/Sandbox13. SilkTork ✔Tea time 15:43, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
OK. Done. I actually did it the wrong way round so I had to manually delete the wrong edits. It's a learning curve! I put back the last edit on your sandbox page, so you have the text (most of which is commented out, but it's there if you go to edit). Let me know if it all looks as it should. I'm a bit annoyed at the manual deletes. Hope to do it better next time. SilkTork ✔Tea time 17:41, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

- Thanks. Just one more thing: Can you restore the very latest version of User:GreatOrangePumpkin/Sandbox13? Thanks.--♫GoP♫TCN 14:10, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
- You're right, it wasn't the final version. I think I have now done the final version. Let me know if it isn't - but I don't see any more edits. SilkTork ✔Tea time 15:34, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Holy Virgin Mary, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vatican (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I took a pass through. In addition to my copyedits, I had a fair number of hidden comments, which should be acted upon by people more knowledgeable than me about church affairs. If I wasn't clear, ask me questions. Once those things are done, let me know, and I'll copyedit again. Feel free to revert anything or everything, I'm not touchy about such things.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:27, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
