"Topical" saints
It's far, far better for us to have fewer content-rich articles, than to have many low-content ones. When creating new articles, please try to focus on just a few at a time, filling them with information, then moving on to create new ones. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

== "Topical" saints ==
 
I am unfamiliar with the "topical" saint designation. When I would go to stamp shows with my father when I was little, "topical" meant collections based on a topic (like dogs or airplanes) rather than collections based on location. Would a better way to denote these saints be "local" or "regional" or "native"? I don't want to give the idea that they are "only" local saints, but I do understand that they are specifically beloved by the people in their hometowns and it is good to recognize them as such. I'm just not sure whether "topical" does the job the best. —[[User:Magda|<b>magda</b>]] ([[User_talk:Magda|talk]]) 12:51, March 7, 2008 (PST)
