From the time of Augustine of Canterbury in 597 until the 16th century, the Archbishops of Canterbury were in full communion with the Bishop of Rome, the Pope.

In the Middle Ages there was considerable variation in the manner of nominating the archbishop and other bishops—at various times the choice was made by the canons of Canterbury Cathedral, the King of England, or the Pope.

Fair enough, and here's a detailed enumeration of my rationale. First off, I think a month is excessive, but it would be a one-step escalation from your previous block for edit-warring, so that's what you get. So, you admit knowing how to count to 3RR by warning another editor. But then, you ignore my invite to self-revert, even when I gave you a specific rationale for the incorrectness of your edit. Finally, you claim the other involved editor has possibly breached NPA when your tag-teaming is called... tag-teaming. 3RR is a hard limit, not an excuse to revert multiple times per day, and the single, specific intervention that you indicate knew pushed another editor towards 3RR, combined with your extensive block log for edit warring, indicates premeditation to me. Thus, you are blocked for one month--which I expect will be reduced by whichever administrator reviews this block--for a single edit, taken in context of its edit summary, the warning you issued to the other editor, your failure to extricate yourself from that dispute when invited to do so, and feigned indignation that your tag-teaming was called. Any administrator is free to set appropriate conditions or require appropriate assurances, and may reduce the block with my blessing and without needing to consult me.

Fair enough, and here's a detailed enumeration of my rationale. First off, I think a month is excessive, but it would be a one-step escalation from your previous block for edit-warring, so that's what you get. So, you admit knowing how to count to 3RR by warning another editor. But then, you ignore my invite to self-revert, even when I gave you a specific rationale for the incorrectness of your edit. Finally, you claim the other involved editor has possibly breached NPA when your tag-teaming is called... tag-teaming. 3RR is a hard limit, not an excuse to revert multiple times per day, and the single, specific intervention that you indicate knew pushed another editor towards 3RR, combined with your extensive block log for edit warring, indicates premeditation to me. Thus, you are blocked for one month--which I expect will be reduced by whichever administrator reviews this block--for a single edit, taken in context of its edit summary, the warning you issued to the other editor, your failure to extricate yourself from that dispute when invited to do so, and feigned indignation that your tag-teaming was called. Any administrator is free to set appropriate conditions or require appropriate assurances, and may reduce the block with my blessing and without needing to consult me.
