I really think that a lot more extensive coverage could be given of a woman who is popularly regarded as one of England's greatest mystics. For a start, the article could discuss whether she actually came from Yorkshire, as some scholars hold, but later moved to Norwich and adopted Norfolk as her homeland. ACEO 20:52, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] link spam

Jclerman said in his/her revert edit summary: "not really - explain before deleting". According to the spam1 template, which I did place on User:AJokinen's Talk page, "Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia." and it's his/her own personal website. -- JHunterJ 19:56, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Saint?

The Britannica reference says that she was never beatified. Is she actually a saint? Michaelsanders 15:27, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

She was commemorated as a Saint in the Church of England, on May 8, 1980[1][2][3][4] See also Calendar of saints (Church of England) Devious Viper 09:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This has article improved - but there is still some work to do

This article has improved greatly since May 2006. However, why is the book by Carol Walker Bynum, referred to in the paper, not give a reference in the end list of references? ACEOREVIVED 19:37, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
