Article title

If I wanted to break out the Background section of Cathedral of Saint Paul (Minnesota) talking about the three previous cathedrals into their own article, how would you recommend titling it? I don't think they each merit their own article, but one more extended article about the three would work. Historic Cathedrals of Saint Paul, Minnesota? Former Cathedrals of Saint Paul, Minnesota? ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 16:53, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

@Darth Stabro: Typically, you use the dates of construction. In this case, since you are covering three buildings that (if I understand this right) occupied the same location, you may want to do "Cathedral of Saint Paul (Minnesota, [Date of construction of first cathedral]–[Date of demolition of third cathedral])". Let me know if you need additional support on that! ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:05, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

They were not all on the same location; as a matter of fact, I think none of them were. ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 17:06, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Oh, shoot. You might need to ask the hivemind at Teahouse. ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:10, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

A request

Hi Pbritti. I am hoping I can get your assessment of something. I recently had a couple interactions with another editor that the other editor interpreted as uncivil. I thought I had a pretty good sense of communicating clearly. Normally I'd let this kind of criticism wash off my back, but this editor is a longstanding and very experienced editor, so it made me wonder if I need to recalibrate how I'm communicating. Here are the comments the editor objected to:

• This comment was described as ripped my head off
• This question was described as uncivil and obviously intended to A. Be insulting and B. Be inflammatory and C. Intend to wound.

I am not here to get you involved in any discussion with the other editor or stir up drama, and I have no plans to escalate anything. AFAICT the discussion is closed. But since I respect your opinion and the way you interact with others, it would just be helpful to get a neutral read on whether my comments are coming across in a way I don't realize. This is for my own awareness only. Thank you in advance! Dclemens1971 (talk) 02:30, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

@Dclemens1971: I'll look at it. For what it's worth, you've only ever come across as polite and civil with me. If I see something worth commenting on, I'll drop you a line. I'm on a day trip today, so I'll probably reply this evening. ~ Pbritti (talk) 13:46, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
