Remove hyphen between Albanian and Indian in reference to her ethnicity. (Mother Teresa was not Indian; she was Albanian born and moved to Calcutta as part of her ministry work and convent. She dedicated her life to working in India, and died there, but she was purely Albanian by birth and ethnic heritage.) FixitNowFelix (talk) 00:41, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Support for child molester Donald McGuire (Jesuit)
The Criticism section seems to lack a few sentences on her support for child abuser 'Donald McGuire (Jesuit)', who was her confessor and closely associated with her order, and whom she worked to get reinstated when the Jesuit order tried to set him aside. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:142:3:1760:0:0:0:B082 (talk) 14:57, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Add a reference to the following sentence (in Biography->Declining health and death):Teresa had a heart attack in Rome in 1983 while she was visiting Pope John Paul II. Following a second attack in 1989, she received an artificial pacemaker.

The reference is as follows: https://www.deseret.com/1989/12/1/18834851/pacemaker-implanted-in-mother-teresa Grayishjedi (talk) 09:49, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

The MC after her name in the lede links to Military Cross. I’m fairly sure it should link to Missionaries of Charity… 93.186.47.48 (talk) 06:24, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

MC link
The post nominal MC after Mother Teresa’s name links to the ‘military cross’ page. I don’t believe Mother Teresa was awarded this medal, as it requires an act of bravery in the face of the enemy. I believe this post nominal should link to the ‘Missionaries of Charity’ page. 176.252.224.13 (talk) 20:16, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Wrong birthday
Mother Teresa was born August 26th not August 27th. 162.39.187.20 (talk) 16:31, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Why isnt macedonian in the nationalities?
why isn't macedonian in her nationality. makes no sense to me, and if she isn't macedonia as a nationality then why is she bulgarian? bulgaria only occupied the region for a few years, that doesn't make her a bulgarian by nationality

(also if anyone is gonna pull the bs of "oh she had a bulgarian passport" i want you to read this : "The word nationality refers to where you are born. A country’s government grants citizenship when specific legal requirements are met. Citizenship can be seen as a political status because it indicates which country recognizes you as a citizen. Nationality has more to do with the relationship between you and your place of birth and can often be seen as ethnic or racially related. Citizenship can fluctuate since you can be a citizen of multiple places simultaneously and can also renounce your citizenship to a country. On the other hand, you cannot change nationality because it’s innate." this is taken from the first result when googling this type of question) Gurther (talk) 14:35, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Commemorations
Mother Teresa has been commemorated by museums and named the patroness of a number of churches. She has had buildings, roads and complexes named after her, including Albania's international airport. Mother Teresa Day (Dita e Nënë Terezës), 19 October, is a public holiday in Albania.

Mother Teresa Day is the day of her Death. September 5th NOT October 19th as listed in the article under 'Legacy.....'

You can follow the link in the article and it clearly states this, as well as a simple Google search Athenaofmars (talk) 19:45, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

The date of the Albanian national holiday "Mother Theresa Day" is September 5th (her birthday) NOT October 19th 2601:500:8702:1B0:49F6:1AB9:FDE2:388D (talk) 19:29, 23 February 2023 (UTC)


 * ✅ 5 September is the day she died, not her birthday, but it does appear to be the correct date of Mother Teresa Day GiovanniSidwell (talk) 23:41, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Freemasonry
The WP article dedicated to the Grand Master Licio Gelli affirms: "In 1996, Gelli was nominated as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature, supported by Mother Teresa and Naguib Mahfouz."

This statement is also relevant for the current WP article. 82.51.189.243 (talk) 20:38, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Lead nationality
You have tried to remove the legal citizenship that Mother Teresa held from the lead and elsehwere multiple times, this is disruptive.

Per WP:ETHNICITY and WP:NATIONALITY we make due mention of the actual held citizenship, in this case India, especially so when it is notable for the person's work, she was canonized as "Mother Teresa of Calcutta" after all. Your removals that hinge on ethnicity actually go against policies of the ethnic marking of people by removing her citizenship, and sources which do make due mention of her Indian nationality as a basic descriptive (e.g. ).

Please desist from disrupting a WP:STABLE article as such by engaging in bad faith WP:EDITWARRING, claiming basic facts to be "false". Gotitbro (talk) 14:00, 14 January 2024 (UTC)


 * She was also named honorary American citizen, yet this isn't mentioned. ShqipeMaster (talk) 14:52, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * We never go by honorary citizenships and a mention as to its exclusion to further your POV-filled exclusion is facetious. Moreover your edits fly in the face of every general reference source out there (click the one above you for instance).
 * You are clearly engaging in ethnic WP:POVPUSH (with serious WP:BATTLEGROUND behaviour) here without reading any of the relevant WP policies or criteria. I would suggest you desist and read up on the policies and sources, lest your editing be restricted. Gotitbro (talk) 23:22, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * It's reasonable for that to be excluded. For the intro, I would prefer something like "Albanian born".
