"Multiple issues" templates from 2016

This article had "multiple issues" templates on it from 2016 saying the article relied too much on primary sources and sources too close to the subject. Since we're now 6 years later, I don't know what the article looked like in 2016, but it now appears to have a reasonable number of third-party sources, keeping in mind that when discussing official Church position or teaching, it will probably be necessary and prudent to cite to some official Church sources such as canon law, papal encyclicals, catechism etc. In addition, the talk page contained no information about why the templates were there (for example, specific sections that were problematic). So, I removed the templates. TheBlinkster (talk) 12:45, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

I would prefer to call this article "Papal ban on Freemasonry" as placing a ban "on" something is more usual language, for example in the article Smoking ban there are several references to a ban on smoking, none to a ban of smoking. Any thoughts? BobKilcoyne (talk) 08:58, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
