[edit] Miraculous Medal

Bernadette didn't own a real miraculous medal, but a combined medal (they are not unusual) with the Immaculate Conception (as on the Miraculous Medal) on one side and St. Teresa of Avila on the other. 83.181.65.218 22:34, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] May rework

I am hoping to remove the NPoV tag. any comments? Dominick ^(TALK) 20:40, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

OK hearing nothing about it, I will start work. Dominick ^(TALK) 11:12, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, dominick. Speaking frankly, I have had it with the pseudo-skeptical remarks being inserted into this article. They do not serve to make the article more NPOV -- rather, they interrupt the flow of the narrative. There are ways to report what happened, and what was said to have happened, without resorting to "This could have happened for natural reasons" and the extraneous links to Ms. Shack's ill-worded articles, which are based largely on original research and her own speculation. I've done my fair share of that when I was disturbed about a subject, and I try not to handle articles like that on wikipedia any more if I can't keep my emotions out of it. I'm coming very close to going on another hiatus from this article if something can't be done. --Bluejay Young 07:42, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I think we are making progress. Please keep on trucking! Dominick ^(TALK) 17:01, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shack doesn't use talk pages

Shack doesn't use talk pages. I wish I knew why. Dominick ^(TALK) 18:57, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Is there some kind of warning we can place on her Talk page? MamaGeek Joy 18:59, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

like what, play nice? Dominick ^(TALK) 19:00, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I found a civility warning template, and placed it on her Talk page. I sincerely hope that she will participate in discussions of the article in the interest of furthering the Wikipedia philosophy of non-original research and NPOV articles. MamaGeek Joy 19:19, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mediation

I left a 3RR warning on her talk page last night. This morning, her changes were back, including a dead link which I specifically warned her not to re-enter. I have submitted the entire affair to mediation. I think it is alright for other users to add to this form. --Bluejay Young 03:25, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Date discrepancy?

Was Bernadette 14 or 17 when she had her first vision? If she was born in 1841 and the first vision was in 1858, she should have been 16 or 17; however, the article says that she was 14. Is her age at the time a typo?

It was not a typo, but an edit, possible vandalism, by the now banned user, user:Dark-hooded smoker. Thank you for drawing my attention to this misinformation which I have now corrected thanks to your perceptiveness--File Éireann 20:03, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
