Catalan content

edit

I have removed the following sentence as not being useful for readers in English language Wikipedia:

There is a very old song in Catalan San Gil: "San Gil n'ere un diumentge de l'any 1810 Fan festa a Garigueille per lo glorios San Gil ....Es ben apropriat Lo Gran San Gil Abat: Fa bé per mal d'orel.les, fa bé per mal de cap".

If an English translation can be provided, that might be worth including. I am unable to tell what this song is about or if its content is worth mentioning, even without a translation. - BanyanTree 21:56, 21 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Accuracy

edit

"Giles first lived in retreats near the mouth of the Rhône and by the River Gard, in Septimania, today's southern France. The story that he was the son of King Theodore and Queen Pelagia of Athens[3] is probably an embellishment of his early hagiographers; it was given wide currency in the Legenda Aurea (Golden Legend). The two main incidents in his life were often depicted in art."

Not only does the main body list him living first in Septimania and not Athens, but there was no Kingdom of Athens at this time, in fact not for another roughly 6 centuries until the Fourth Crusade. There was only the Eastern Roman Empire. wut?--Sıgehelmus (Talk) |д=) 17:48, 28 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 13 April 2022

edit
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move. Discussion has died down after having been open for a month with one relisting. The majority of !votes favor the WP:COMMONNAME policy over the MOS:SAINTS guideline. Favonian (talk) 13:11, 13 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
