Does we say "Genevans" in English? or do we say Genevois? --Wetman 11:16, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
I believe the usual usage is "Genevese" DLC (talk) 15:29, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
- Genevan, also Genevese, according to American Heritage. Awien (talk) 20:25, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
Dec 11 or Dec 12?
[edit]There is a conflict in this article over the dates of observance. In the introduction, it says the celebration is observed on Dec. 12, or the closest weekend, but later, at the beginning of the section "Celebration," it says the celebration is usually held on Dec. 11 or the closest weekend. This is an argument that members of my family have had for years, but this article tries to have it both ways. There must be a correct answer, but I don't know what it is.

Answer: Actually the Savoyard's attack take place during the night of 11th to 12th december, at 2.30 am. The conflict between these dates exist, but is it more exact to consider the 12th of december as the celebration day. The 12th is also the victory day for the Geneva inhabitants while the 11th is the preparation of the attack. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:1206:45B2:B150:258E:594:9FEC:E8F4 (talk) 19:06, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
