Is this supposed to be Scholars of Eastern Orthodoxy? Or Scholars who are Eastern Orthodox or within the Eastern Orthodox church? --Lquilter (talk) 19:43, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
@Armbrust: If it were about those studying Eastern Orthodoxy, wouldn't it have to be "Scholars of Eastern Orthodoxy" rather than "Scholars in Eastern Orthodoxy"? One is not necessarily "in" a religious tradition one studies.
In any case, looking at the 225 articles in the category and its subcategories, it appears that every one of their subjects are Eastern Orthodox Christians (excepting Hugh Pilkington, whose religion isn't readily apparent from his article and a cursory Google search).
Even if we were to put aside the use of the word "in" and the actual use of the category, the intention of the category seems evident from the category hierarchy. It falls within categories exclusively reserved for Eastern Orthodox and other Christian biographies, as it has been since December 2006, less than a month after the category was created. (I would assume that the reason it wasn't in a Christian-specific category on the date of its creation in November 2006 was that Category:Christian scholars wasn't created until just under two weeks later.) 142.160.131.220 (talk) 03:26, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
