Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria → Coptic Orthodox Church – By far the common name of this Church in English ([1]). Even the category for this article (Category:Coptic Orthodox Church) and the native name (Ϯⲉⲕ̀ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛ̀ⲣⲉⲙⲛ̀ⲭⲏⲙⲓ ⲛ̀ⲟⲣⲑⲟⲇⲟⲝⲟⲥ) don't mention "of Alexandria". 92.184.105.120 (talk) 06:34, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support. "Coptic Orthodox Church" is clearly the WP:COMMONNAME. ‑‑Volteer1 (talk) 06:58, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New Image for the Cathedral

I have added a well-needed, updated photo for this article, that being the newly-renovated St. Mark's Cathedral as it stands today. The existing image is already 12 years old and does not reflect the current state of the cathedral. Open to discussion below if you disagree with the change. Thanks so much. — That Coptic Guy (talk) 03:58, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Will revert back to prior image until the new one is approved in the Commons. — That Coptic Guy (talk) 16:35, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Quality scale

I have upgraded this article’s quality level to “B”, up from where it stood before at a “C”. The requisite qualifications behind a “B” rating have been met for this article. If anyone would like to discuss it through or disagree, please feel free to comment. — That Coptic Guy (let's talk?) 04:10, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @That Coptic Guy:. I added several citation needed tags and other things to the article. This needs to get addressed for a GA review and may be grounds for immediate fail. Happy to help, lemme know. MX (✉ • ✎) 22:02, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @MX - thank you so much. I really appreciate your time and your help with this! — That Coptic Guy (let's talk?) 02:00, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, I think there may be a little confusion on the classification.

The B-class criteria (#1) states: The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. #2 states: The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. Unsourced statements and blank sections are evidence the article does not pass the criteria and needs reassessing. -- Otr500 (talk) 07:43, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's some room for growth and improvement per Otr500. I have made the move to reduce the class from B to C. Due to a lack of coverage in of some major aspects, sourcing alone will be insufficient to elevate this article to B-class. Classification is not a priority, but it is a nice benchmark. ~ Pbritti (talk) 19:27, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
