Disambiguation needed!
editArgh! 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)

Unification of typography
editShould "Genevieve" be used or "Geneviève"? Both are right now used... Lapaz 18:07, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
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)
Tidbits
editJust 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)
Date of Canonisation
editFurther 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
editI 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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.183.16.227 (talk) 02:11, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
infobox, locations of her birth and death
editIt seems anachronistic that France is listed in the infobox for her birth and death, when this is contradicted by the usual practice for other biographical articles which typically list the specific polity that was contemporaneous with the person's birth/death, not one that existed later. Two examples are the bishops mentioned in this very article, namely Germanus of Auxerre and Lupus of Troyes. Both show the Western Roman Empire (though modern city names are given). I'm going to change this in the infobox. Open to dissenting opinions. Global Cerebral Ischemia (talk) 02:14, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
Company of the Bearers of Reliquary of Sainte Geneviève
editAs I'm researching this bio, I found some interesting information about this lay confraternity, in Patroness of Paris, by Moshe Sluhovsky (pp. 165ff). There's a great deal of details that I don't think belongs here in St. Genevieve's bio. It might be better to create a new article about the Company, although you'd have to supplement it with additional sources. Just a thought, something I might take on myself someday.

Navarre or Nanterre?
editThere are many references to Navarre in the article, but one suspects that Nanterre is meant. She seems to have spent her entire life there or in Paris. Lestrad (talk) 18:14, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
