Things to fix in the Syriac Orthodox Church article:
- Deacons - Explain a little bit about each rank.
- Jurisdiction of the patriarchate - It needs a rewrite for clarity.
- Last paragraph of the Patriarchate of Antioch in the History section needs more citations. Only 3-4 are present currently.

Ref for Diaconate
Footnote on pages 84-85:
There are four ranks of deacons in the Syrian Orthodox Church (rather, four stages to reach the full title of a deacon): cantor or singer (mzamrono), lector (qoruyo), subdeacon (afudyaqno), evangelical deacon (mshamshono or shamosho). Each parish appoints one of the senior deacons as archdeacon (arkhedyaqno). Tahhan and Qamar hold the most senior rank of evangelical deacon (shamosho ewangelio), who normally has the authority of spiritual teaching. Tahhan was also archdeacon of the archdiocese. The archdeacon ranks immediately after the priest, but is also seen as “the right hand of the bishop” (Syrian Orthodox Resources: sor.cua.edu/intro). Only deacons with exceptional knowledge obtain this office.

---I believe this book has a lot of information on the aspects of the church. Not just about monks.
The Ramban(monk) is a monastic order in the Church. The monk is admitted to the Holy Order by the Superior of the monastery or a bishop.
