Undiscussed move[edit]

This article should not have been moved without discussion, especially as it has been recently edited. Prior to doing article assessments for Category Former Roman Catholic dioceses in France articles, the majority of article titles were "Ancient Diocese of Fooxxxxx". Now there are a mixture of titles, some with Roman Catholic and some with "Ancient Diocese".

I would like to recommend consistent articles of "Roman Catholic Ancient Diocese of xxxxx" to clarify that these are defunct dioceses, and to keep them into a seperate group. Without the word "Ancient" most Wikipedia readers will not be able to identify if the diocese is current functioning without reading deeper into the article.

I agree that the move was high-handed. I certainly would have had objections. Since the subject has come up, I'n not sure that "Roman Catholic Ancient Diocese of xxxxx" solves any of the confusion. In the spirit of keeping things straightforward, why not "Former Roman Catholic Diocese of XXXX"? Where did 'ancient' come from anyway? My colleagues in Ancient History would consider Roman Catholic dioceses to be 'nouveau'.
Should we not at least have a revert, until agreement can be reached?
