Disambiguation needed!

Argh! The page is half about St. Genevieve the person and half about the abbey consecrated to her. The section "Canons of St. Genevieve" for example definitely belongs to a page about a church or an abbey, not about the saint. (Possibly the page "Pantheon", since the French Pantheon occupies what used to be the Church of St. Genevieve -- I'm not entirely sure if that would be the same church that the "canons of St. G." would have been attached to.)

The canons were attached to the monastery at the abbey, the medieval church.--Parkwells (talk) 13:59, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date

when was genevieve sainted? --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.198.97.118 (talk • contribs)

Unification of typography

Should "Genevieve" be used or "Geneviève"? Both are right now used... Lapaz 18:07, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's customary to translate saints' names. So drop the accent in English, except as part of a French place name such as "Sainte-Geneviève". Wegesrand (talk) 14:15, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tidbits

Just throwing this out there if anyone should add Saint Genevieve influences or something... but there is a Ste. Genevieve county and Ste. Genevieve city in Missouri. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.220.221.146 (talk) 09:35, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Canonisation

Further to "Date" above: when was Genevieve canonised? According to the current side summary she was canonised 2/12 years before her death, which is very unlikely! (talk)

Miracles

I don't see any of her miracles here, like ship levitation, trees joining in a battle, or people that were able to levitate/fly. These should be included to show the glory of god.
