[edit] Merge

Should this not be at St. Denis? Bastie 14:40, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

  • I don't think so. The Saint Denise mentioned is an entirely different entity than Saint Denis and should be on a separate page. Also, Denise is a completely separate name. Mademoiselle Sabina 05:06, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Yeah, it sounds like two (actually, three) different saints. Cuttycuttiercuttiest 08:08, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
  • There are lots of things called Denis which aren't saints - how should this be dealt with? Drutt 22:39, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Note that Dennis and Denise point to disambiguation pages. Drutt 22:40, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Easy. Click on Denis (disambiguation) and make a dab page linking to all the uses of Denis at Wikipedia that you have in mind. Once you're finished {{Other}} at the head of the article here will make a link. --Wetman 03:10, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Ok done, thanks. Drutt 03:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Wow! excellent! who'da known?--Wetman 06:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Denis", "Dennis"

To avoid confusion:

There is no difference between "Dennis" and "Denis". The spelling with only one "n" is even the older one (used mainly in Scotland, England, Russia and Germany) and is not(!) necessarily pronounced as in french without the "s".

This article being about "Denis" and not specifically about the "Saint Denis" (at least the Title suggests this), makes this dfferentiation important.


[edit] "passio" linked to "passion"?

I think the link from the word "passio" to the page for "passion" is unclear. Seems like a "passio" is refering to a written document ... whereas the page on "passion" refers to specific things or musical compositions. I think we should either unlink it, or enhance the "passion" page to mention "passio"s? Lynchmob98 19:23, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Good call. I've remade Passio now to redirect to Passion (Christianity). Passio is simply Latin for passion, in this particular sense. A musical Passion is simply a musical setting. A musical Passion or a Passion play, are simply specific forms of presenting the Passion. Of course the Passion has come down as a series of written documents. --Wetman 20:44, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for simply unlinking 'passio' ... just wanted to let you know it was noticed :-) Lynchmob98 05:27, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
