Fawcett[edit]

Regarding your edit summary, while it's correct and citeable that she is Catholic, neither making the Sign of the Cross nor praying for miracles is by any means limited to Catholics. Frank | talk 21:18, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

True, but I am under the impression that both those things are significantly more common among Catholics than non-Catholics. My intention was to state why it is important to her personal and public life that she is a Catholic, and why that piece of information should be in her biography.

Well is can be (and is) cited from reliable sources, so it's fine that it's in there. My point was a gentle reminder about WP:NPOV - we don't have to judge the level of importance of a practice to one religion or another; we just report what others have already written.

Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not[edit]

Your most recent edits to Talk:Farrah Fawcett were coarse and cruel. Do not declare how long you think somebody has to live, or assert your belief that they are beyond hope, it's in violation of just about every policy Wikipedia has, but you could take your pick at WP:BLP. Beyond that main issue, I wouldn't make it a habit of declaring that because a stub article of four sentences does not mention something, then it must not be so. The very point of a stub tag is that the article doesn't include everything it should, and is therefore not an authoritative source on the subject (I would be loathe to call even a lengthy article an "authoritative source" about something as vital and as complex and as nascent as this). Finally, it's conceivable that the anonymous editor's well-meaning (if off-topic) suggestion may have been in the interest of bolstering the health and improving the functioning of her chemo- and laser-bombarded liver, and not to cure her cancer. Have a heart. Abrazame (talk) 08:18, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Irish Catholics[edit]

As per the category Category:Irish Catholics:

This category should only include Irish Catholics who are not in communion with Rome. Roman Catholics should be placed in the subcategory.

Therefore the proper category for Danny La Rue (and yourself) is Category:Irish Roman Catholics. LaRue has been updated, but I won't update your user page as that would be inappropriate. Yours, [email protected] (talk) 17:13, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Telegraph obit merely said Catholic, hence I didn't know for sure if La Rue was in communion with Rome. Best name (talk) 18:25, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as I am not an Irish Catholic (Roman or otherwise), neither category is applicable to me. Best name (talk) 18:25, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
