There has been some recent news about the building's physical state and conservation, namely: concerns about ongoing deterioration of the structure (recently prompted by a report in a Turkish news source and then repeated by several Greek outlets [https://www.duvarenglish.com/footage-of-crumbling-concrete-reveals-damage-in-istanbuls-hagia-sophia-news-63401], [https://greekcitytimes.com/2023/10/03/turkish-professor-hagia-sophia/], [https://greekreporter.com/2023/10/03/hagia-sofia-danger-collapse-turkish-expert-warns/], [https://greekcitytimes.com/2023/11/29/turkish-newspaper-hagia-sophia/]) and a recent Turkish government declaration in September that a 50-year restoration would commence to repair damages ([https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/hagia-sophia-embarks-on-50-year-restoration-journey-186328], [https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1220075/hagia-sophia-to-undergo-damage-repair/]). Things like this probably deserve a mention somewhere. I'm wondering whether they belong towards the end of the current history section, or are perhaps better suited for a "Conservation" section (focused on present-day conservation) in the future? Any thoughts welcome. [[User:R Prazeres|R Prazeres]] ([[User talk:R Prazeres|talk]]) 20:37, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

How could you possibly in common sense say that it was built as an Eastern Orthodox Church when they didn’t exist yet. There was only one church until the schism that church called themselves Catholic. you should stop trying to change church and Christian history [[User:Fleurdesboiteaux|Fleurdesboiteaux]] ([[User talk:Fleurdesboiteaux|talk]]) 00:29, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
 
:@[[User:Fleurdesboiteaux|Fleurdesboiteaux]] The proper academic term pre-schism would be [[Chalcedonian]], not [[Catholic]]. Your infobox changes are therefore not accurate.
:It might indeed be strange to talk about an "Eastern Orthodox" church in the 4th century, however, and the article body (though not the infobox) seems to do that. Perhaps that could be changed. [[User:Uness232|Uness232]] ([[User talk:Uness232|talk]]) 02:44, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
::If Chalcedonian is the correct term for the period in history, then it should be used. Wikipedia should not rewrite history. [[User:Mjroots|Mjroots]] ([[User talk:Mjroots|talk]]) 05:07, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
:::Chalcedonian is used when comparing the Byzantine church to that of the Copts, Armenians, Nestorians, etc. The West was Chalcedonian too, but Catholic is used for the pre-Schism church there; the only NPOV approach is to continue to use Orthodox for the pre-Schism Byzantine church in the East, as is convention.
