Religion, Literature and the Church of England specifically

I have noticed the literature section has nothing on the KJV of the bible, or indeed of any of the bibles used during the reformation such as the Great Bible or Bishop's Bible, Coverdale Bible, Tyndale Bible or so on. Considering the importance of this literature to English writers for centuries it seems a bad idea to leave it out.

There is a statement that the Church considers itself both 'Catholic and Protestant'. This is a little misleading, it does state 'catholic and reformed' but this is not quite the same. The Church is Catholic in doctrine, but not Roman catholic, catholic simply means universal in this sense, and is also used similarly by the Orthodox Churches. Notice the Church does not use the word 'Protestant' itself, but rather reformed. Why is this? The Church says so itself, in the Book of Common Prayer (preface, and first two sections, also the thirty nine articles) and the Canon Law (both 1604 and modern versions), the Church is a middle way, it is not Protestant, neither is it Roman Catholic, rather it has a complicated history involving both, but nonetheless is neither.

The section as is in no way claims that the church is Roman Catholic. It says merely what it says, that the church considers itself to be descended in part from the catholic tradition and follow the old catholic creeds, which we do. - Chrism would like to hear from you 11:38, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

England's Parliament or Legislature?

If we're going to place this committee into the infobox. Then perhaps we should change Legislature to Legislative committee. After all, England doesn't have a devolved government. GoodDay (talk) 10:17, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't understand your argument. Whether England has its own government or not seems immaterial to me. Laws in England are made by the UK parliament. It's not the first time one country has legislated for another.--Ykraps (talk) 12:32, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think I might have in the past opposed listing the UK's Parliament, but after thinking into it I've changed my mind. Since Parliament can enact legislation for each of the UK's countries individually (and has done so throughout history), it's technically a legislature of all four respectively. Furthermore, given it has remained responsible for devolved matters in England (as in, those devolved in the other three countries), it is effectively acting as a legislature for England. And even more so now that bills which only effect England have to be additionally scrutinised and voted on by the 533 MPs in England. I suppose listing just that it has a legislative committee within Parliament is an option though. Rob984 (talk) 01:00, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Twitch

Is it just me or is the entire page just a giant link for Twitch? - Bokmanrocks01 (talk) 04:18, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Will have happened to thousands of articles potentially. Someone vandalised a sub template of {{Infobox country}}. I reverted the vandalism and requested template protection. Unfortunately it was vandalised again soon after as it took several hours before the protection request was fulfilled. I don't know where I'm suppose to report matters of urgency like that.

GDP / GVA data in infobox

Hi Harper9979‎. Could you tell me where I can find the data you add to the article in the citation you provided (https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/grossdomesticproductgdp/bulletins/grossdomesticproductpreliminaryestimate/julytosept2016)? I checked and I can't find any mention of England's GDP / GVA. If you let me know how to find it, I can correctly format the citation. Otherwise, I can only assume the data you added is original research. Rob984 (talk) 13:06, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

City

England is no longer a country. The UN now officially confirms it as a city.
