Vatican City vs Holy See

Thanks for the email Tom. I do think my version of that link was right though... ambassadors and other representatives are always appointed to the Holy See, never to the Vatican City — q.v. the third paragraph of Holy See#The Holy See and Vatican City. I didn't write that article but I did spend a year studying philosophy at the Greg (one of the Vatican universities) and I can independently confirm that that form of address is the right one! The state is the Vatican City, but the diplomatic entity is the Holy See.

I've put it back again for now. If you still don't like it, I'd suggest as a compromise simply unlinking the word entirely: the article already has a link to Vatican City so it doesn't need another — but now you know I didn't make the change in error I hope you'll agree with me that Holy See is preferable! I've left the word Vatican there as you originally had it and just piped the link again, so that the context looks right. ~ Veledan • Talk 17:53, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Holy See it is - thank you! --Tom Szczepanik 01:59, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
