Trivia

Is there a patron saint of the Pro-choice movement, or of True accusations? —Ian Spackman 15:24, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I imagine Dismas (one of the thieves crucified with Jesus) might be the patron of those accused of things they really did do... Cheyinka (talk) 01:48, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth

I'm getting confused. I don't know which birth date is more correct: April 23, 1725, or April 6, 1726? --Angeldeb82 (talk) 18:44, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

April 6, 1726 is correct —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.110.23.39 (talk) 08:43, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This still hasn't been fixed. In the lede and infobox it's 9 April but in the text it's 23 April. Presumably both of those have sources.

Yet Italian WP says 6 April unequivocally. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 23:21, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Legacy - churches and other things named.

I just deleted the list of churches named after St. Gerard, it wasn't complete (it only featured churches in the United States, Australia and New Zealand, there are many more around the world, it seems to me that an English wiki page should not restrict itself to providing info on English speaking countries), but adding all the Churches in the world named after him is quite otiose. Nor does such a list in any way fulfill the task a "legacy" section should fulfill, namely, to show the bequeathal a person made to the world. For example the page on Tolkien, opens, at least, this section with influence and adaptations, it shows that his creations have a lasting presence and benefit (on other pages one might say detriment) to this world. Then afterwards comes a subsection on memorials, which, although according to me should have its own section, at least is remarkable (I'll try to rouse some discussion there too).

The other things showed under the section are interesting, that is why I don't delete them, but I think they require a different name than "legacy", although I am unsure exactly what (perhaps something as "namesakes"?).

I am aware that this should have effects on other pages too, but I'll let them rest until further discussion is done. Smit1937 (talk) 08:58, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Inspired by the GK Chesterton page I gained the courage to change the name of the section to "namesakes". Still a complete list of Churches named after him would be otiose, for a catholic saint to have a church named after him is to be expected and hardly remarkable. For consistency's sake a page like "Mary" would need one too, which would make it the longest Wikipedia page. (turns out, there is such a list page, though it has understandably chosen to exclude Italy...) Smit1937 (talk) 09:32, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
