Could someone who knows the procedure describe how someone gets to be canonised? And perhaps standardise their nomenclature before we get too many more? :Good idea, Malcolm. This is what I suggested to MichaelTinkler a couple of days ago: ::Regarding names: I'm personally inclined to naming pages with the saint's name, and location or other description to distinguish between eg Augustine of Hippo and Augustine of Canterbury. Problem is that other Wikipedians may have already made a link to Saint XXX - that's how I found Saint Columba, for instance. It shouldn't be a *huge* problem, though. The current Wikipedia pages with Saint at the start probably should be changed to just their name (and location if necessary) - must watch out for the backlinks too. -- Claudine Well, I'll probably be adding saints from time to time from the old encyclopedia, so I'll try to name them as you suggest -- Malcolm Farmer I've removed Saint from those people in the list who had them before their name. I think the title of this page would imply that all the individuals listed are considered saints. 8-> If their canonicity is in doubt, this should be stated in the individual saint's biography. -- Claudine Suggest we move the list of saints to a "Saints/Listing? of saints" page and keep the "Saints" page itelf for definition, description. |
