Semi-protected edit request on 28 October 2021

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Remove hyphen between Albanian and Indian in reference to her ethnicity. (Mother Teresa was not Indian; she was Albanian born and moved to Calcutta as part of her ministry work and convent. She dedicated her life to working in India, and died there, but she was purely Albanian by birth and ethnic heritage.) FixitNowFelix (talk) 00:41, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support for child molester Donald McGuire (Jesuit)

The Criticism section seems to lack a few sentences on her support for child abuser 'Donald McGuire (Jesuit)', who was her confessor and closely associated with her order, and whom she worked to get reinstated when the Jesuit order tried to set him aside. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:142:3:1760:0:0:0:B082 (talk) 14:57, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The MC after her name in the lede links to Military Cross. I’m fairly sure it should link to Missionaries of Charity… 93.186.47.48 (talk) 06:24, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

MC link

The post nominal MC after Mother Teresa’s name links to the ‘military cross’ page. I don’t believe Mother Teresa was awarded this medal, as it requires an act of bravery in the face of the enemy. I believe this post nominal should link to the ‘Missionaries of Charity’ page. 176.252.224.13 (talk) 20:16, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
