Nominations can stay up for 2 months, and then will be removed.
The winner will be selected on or around the 27th of the month for the following month.

Support: A fine idea. This really is a fascinating subject but hard to understand. I have a copy of the Blackwell Dictionary of Eastern Christianity which has an article on this. Perhaps it can be used to help work out the kinks. —Preosttalkcontribs02:17, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support: I eventually found this page when I started to look for information on Ukrainian Orthodoxy and got thoroughly confused for a while. In fact, I tidied up one of the articles before registering my login name. We should also try to sort out information about the Ukrainian Church's position in North America.—Dorotheus09:30, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support--—Antonios Aigyptostalk09:55, 4 September 2006 (UTC): Since ASDamick/Preost has indefinitely retired from Wikipedia, shall we assume this article has won the vote for the present month, and get to work on it?[reply]
Support--This article seems woefully inadequate to such an important topic. - Completely agree! It is also wrong, as in orthodoxy, belief and practise are essentially equivalent (not opposite as stated). Also, unlike the standard english usage, the very word orthodox is denoting both true belief and true praxis. --Alexander Radev >> {talk to meorsee my contributions}. 12:23, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
