Jesus is a religious, cultural, worldwide icon, and is among the most influential people in human history. (Reference here) - User:Sleetimetraveller — Preceding undated comment added 12:53, 21 July 2021

People throughout history including scholars, philosophers, saints and monks have always referred to him as "Christ" as well as "Jesus Christ" from 70AD to the 21st century. The name 'Christian' originated in Antioch around 70AD which came from the Greek word "Xristianos" meaning "Christ follower" however the name was used in a derogatory sense used to mock the disciples and those who followed the teachings of Jesus Christ, but in turn it became an accepted name for those those who follow Christ. In the Orthodox Church and in Eastern Christianity in general the word "Christ" has always been used even in the divine liturgies when referring to him and has always been that way from the foundation of the church to the present day 21st century. Even the religion named 'Christianity'literally contains the word "Christ" in it. So it makes perfect sense to change the article title back to "Jesus Christ". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paok117 (talk • contribs) 14:48, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

I just discovered that the talk pages for this article have an index!! This is a pretty cool idea -- given the vast amount of information covered in the Talk pages, much of which I'm sure is repetitive(!), an index would be a super useful tool. However, I'm a professional indexer and...well...this isn't an index. It's more of a table of contents that just copied and linked the headings for all the talk sections. As such, it isn't nearly as useful as it might be (headings like "2d paragraph" are utterly meaningless, for example -- who knows what topic is really discussed in that section?). Does anyone know if it was autogenerated? If so, can it at least be made to ignore leading punctuation when sorting, or strip it out when generating the index so that for example section headings that are in quotes don't all end up at the beginning,but rather in their appropriate alpha location? Or can it be manually edited to improve it? Or (best of all) could I create a proper index to replace it? Failing all of that, could we at least change the name to something other than "Index" so nobody is misled into thinking it's something it isn't? Perhaps "Talk section headings list", that's more accurate. Bookgrrl holler/lookee here 16:49, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
