Pimpin'...
Started work on this because someone pointed out in #wikipedia that it contained no actual article text (though some nice pictures and a link). This isn't good for one of the more notable of English Cathedrals. Mostly pulling history from the cathedral's website, which has an extensive timeline.
Yay, assistance has arrived in the form of the indefatigable User:CatherineMunro. Thanks for adding, let's see this trickle become a stream. :-)

These are all questions which are probably answered somewhere on pedia that I'm too lazy to find, but I had some questions when adding content:
Not Manchester cathedral, wiki policy is to use the offical name. If you doubt it's the offical name explain why it says this on the offical web site.--Jirate 21:24, 2005 Mar 6 (UTC)
I'm sorry if you misread me, Jirate, I certainly wasn't trying to impose my will (or the semi-mythical "will of the majority") on you -- I was just trying to answer your question. I read "WHat happens when the cathedrals have different names to different groups?" as a sincere question about "what do you -- the folks who have been on Wikipedia for a while -- do when there's more than one name?" That's all I tried to answer, with what "we", meaning the people just like you, have been doing in the past. It's a consensus decision, reached with lots of discussion by people just like you who offered their opinions on the best way to do something. No cabal, no conspiracy, no bullying. The decision we/they came to is that common names are more useful and understandable to the average researcher than full formal names (which virtually no one is going to type into a search engine), and since all full and alternate names are mentioned right in the lead section (and created as redirects), there's no loss of clarity. Since you weren't here when that consensus was reached, you're welcome to comment on the policy, and see if people are willing to change it now that Wikipedia has grown a bit more.
You might want to have a look at Wikipedia:Wikiquette, Wikipedia:Assume good faith, Wikipedia:Writers rules of engagement, and Wikipedia:Staying cool when the editing gets hot. Again, these are not rules being foisted upon you from on high, but guidelines written by an individual like you, and then debated and polished by others -- all of us seeking the kind of behavior that is most conducive to writing an encyclopedia. A better way of doing things will be recognized as such on its own merits (eventually), but you can create a lot of unnecessary obstacles for yourself by not striving for a little bit of tact and grace in the way you present your ideas, and by attacking those who ultimately have the same goals you do -- clarity, completeness, and accuracy. It's only natural that some people disagree on the means to those ends, but rational discussion has triumphed so many times on so many difficult subjects here that I have developed great faith in the policies I linked above in helping people to overcome their differences.
As it happens, I agree with you that we need a better distinction between the Anglican and Protestant cathedrals, now that you've explained the problem more thoroughly -- there was very little for me to go on when you asked your question. I'm still not certain that the full formal title is the best solution, but I'm interested in hearing your opinions on the matter. — Catherine\talk 21:46, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I think this wiki should be updated...

The Very Reverend Rogers Govender,
thanks D
P.S. : I also found this other information, maybe you want to do something about it!
The Manchester Cathedral was the setting for a marriage at the start of the 2006 episode of cracker. The series concerned a criminal psychologist : Eddie "Fitz" Fitzgerald a classic antihero, unfaithful to his wife, alcoholic, chain smoker, overweight, addicted to gambling, manic, foulmouthed and sarcastic; and yet cerebral and excellent at his speciality: getting into the heads of violent criminals. As Fitz confesses in "Brotherly Love": "I drink too much, I smoke too much, I gamble too much. I am too much."
Of course if the Church got paid....... do not take action against Granada television... lets do not forget that this is about money to help the millions of Africans dying everyday of hunger...something that your church has accuse the English parliament and had demanded action for years....Am I right very reverend.....
Why does it state that Sony have apologised, at no point did they apologise, they stated that permissions had been sought, and that it was wrong to blame a science fiction game set in an alternative 1950's reality for the social issues in contemporary Manchester 82.17.95.44 (talk) 05:01, 30 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Fair enough, that comment didn't get anywhere near as much publicity as it should've, I apologise for being misinformed 82.17.88.43 (talk) 20:03, 12 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Not sure if this image is worth including in the article, so I've placed it here for consideration. Russ London (talk) 22:38, 28 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Is it worth adding a section about its use as a gig venue. I think it is reasonably notable that they have had a series of rock/pop bands play there. --194.36.2.100 (talk) 14:37, 18 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
