[edit]

Do you mind if I fix a few word errors and add more details on the birthdate? ThantBhoneHtet1123 (talk) 10:14, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Remsense ‥  10:18, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We would have a more specific birthdate if it were available. Please see the sources already cited. Remsense ‥  10:19, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Map

[edit]

@Wtfiv, could you detail why the SVG map was replaced with the present JPG? It's much preferable to have vector maps, so I would like to create a new revision of the vector map that also addresses your concerns. Remsense ‥  10:25, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Remsense, If you could convert the map in .svg, please do. If not, I could rebuild in in .svg, though I'll need some time. Wtfiv (talk) 16:52, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
are there any other changes to the present jpg i should consider while I'm at it? I've already started Remsense ‥  17:04, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's great! I don't think anything needs to be added. The map is based on a work by Barker, the boundaries reflecting the situation just as Joan begins to head toward Orleans. The names reflect major locations that give people the major orientation to Joan's life (with the exception of Agincourt, which is meaningful in the background).

Thanks! Remsense ‥  17:39, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Remsense, just letting you know that I rebuilt the map in .svg and posted it. Wtfiv (talk) 03:02, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it "is"

[edit]

the introduction says she "is a patron saint..." but shouldnt it be "was" instead? 79.177.148.32 (talk) 20:58, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, because it's akin to any other symbol in an abstract sense: D-Day isn't a symbol of modern warfare in the past tense, it still is. If you want a more concrete metaphysical reason, saints are understood to be immortal and in some ways present within the church community. Remsense ‥  21:00, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation mate 188.64.206.150 (talk) 09:00, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we have any WP:RS that tells us when she stopped being a patron saint? (Unless I'm talking a load of bull, of course.) Martinevans123 (talk) 21:13, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
