I would certainly welcome someone from a Catholic tradition reviewing the accuracy of the comments in that section of the feet washing article. Rlvaughn 22:14, 25 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Can this be linked to a section on foot washing in Islam and other religions? It seems strange that it's listed as only a Christian practice, especially given the number of religion projects to which it's linked. Kvcad ( talk) 05:23, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
Sounds a bit strange to me. A Google search revealed three times as many hits for "foot washing" as for "feet washing." I suggest a name change. Haiduc 03:51, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
I ran across this change and discussion of it. As the originator of this article, I do not object to the change of title. But I do find it somewhat objectionable that mbset finds it necessary analyze why the term was chosen, as if it is some kind of affectation. Some groups use one term, some use another. I expect that "foot washing" is more common, though wider research than googling might be useful instruction on the topic. I have one suggestion. Since the name is changed to "foot washing", shouldn't the article be changed to reflect that consistently (with the exception of quotes)? The article starts out with "foot washing", then soon we run into "foot-washing", and later "feet washing". Just a thought on something that might be an improvement. - Rlvaughn ( talk) 15:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC) (forgot to sign the other day)
Feetwashing is the primary, although not exclusive, term used in the Church of the Brethren and Grace Brethren, including print sources. Frank Ramirez is also a notable author on Brethren history and identity. I have added the notice of this usage preference in the article and included extensive sources. When I travel in Mennonite circles, I notice the difference in vocabulary; I have always understood this as a difference in preference between the denominations. Notice especially the Anabaptist Network article which makes a point of using "footwashing" for Mennonite articles and "feetwashing" for Brethren ones [1].

Good Lord! (no pun intended) Can't we call it "Maundy"?? In several articles where the concept appears it has to be piped as that from "Foot washing". Also, "foot washing" outside of the specific Christian religious context simply means "washing of the feet" where as "Maundy" refers to the historical event which is the subject of this article. Why was it not named "Maundy" to begin with?? Is that not a specific and common name for it? And is it not much more specific (and therefore much more helpful) than the simple and vague (and therefore less helpful) "foot washing"?? Was there a discussion somewhere where this was considered and the decision to go with "foot washing" won the debate? KDS4444 ( talk) 20:56, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
I think this article is better than "start" class. If others agree, let's get it changed. -- Cromwellt| talk| contribs 01:01, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
the article should link to the word " ablution", and should say more clearly "in the Christian context" or reference that foot washing has ritual meaning outside of Christianity, rather than seeming to say that foot washing is exclusively Christian. Also, I would think the distinction should be drawn early and often between foot washing as ritual hygiene and foot washing as ritual symbolism or obeisance. 96.224.34.168 ( talk) 20:14, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

I added: "Another word for the ceremony, nipter, derives from the Greek word for a basin." Someone removed it as uncited. See e.g. Chambers Dictionary 1908. Equinox ◑ 22:20, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
Article lacks required sources; much of it reads like original research. Bluepenciltime ( talk) 20:52, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
It lacks also NPOV, without including theological reasons why other Christians don’t practice foot-washing. ~~ Bluepenciltime ( talk) 20:52, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
I'm not sure why the article was moved as foot washing is the WP:COMMONNAME. Maundy is an archaic name and used only in the term Maundy Thursday, more commonly referred to as Holy Thursday today. There should have been a move discussion and the Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity should have been advised of the discussion. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 07:42, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians! The second half of the section "Background", beginning with the sentence "The foot washing, described in the thirteenth chapter of the Gospel of John, is concerned with the Latin title of Servus servorum dei", cites no sources (other than the Bible itself) and thus reads a lot like OR. Also, most of it does not seem to have any relevance at all to the specific topic of the article. I therefore move that these paragraphs be deleted. Nikolaj1905 ( talk) 09:07, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
