message: I suspect that this claim is just a racial joke added by some vandal (if Maurice was black in the New Orleans statue). Is there a source for this information? MoritzB 18:05, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

message: People using old history, remember, old historians lived in a time of marked white supremacism and colonialism. Do you REALLY expect an un-biased view from such a period? Seriously, POV people. Even from 'scholarly' articles -please note the time period at which it was written. 
For example would you use an article or documentary from Fox news on the evils of Islam (post 2001) and seriously say that it was non-pov? 
Use your heads a little.

message: the sad fact is that history is just that history, but this powerful push to discredit any and all things even remotely black
has finally begun to no longer shock me as much as it use to. and as a filmmaker and history buff of sorts myself 
you( referring to all the doubting poster's on this subject)  and the anglo male POV that insist with out actually saying it that an
entire race of people who have been here from- 
the start  of mankind has never had any historical high points of any kind and have never been great in any way 
further proves how insane even seemly well read men can be. but what i would really like to thank you for is helping 
find a cause in witch invest my talents into, i have grown up enjoying and accepting the historical fantasy of popular 
euro males hero and never thought twice about it but when any story shows a black in any remotely powerful tale here comes 
the -thousands words per second naysayers on a unpaid mission to shoot it down with all their verbal might -sad but a fact 
i have to deal with and use as fuel -so again thank you ........  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.189.246.191 (talk) 10:08, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Like, we're not talking about the shape of this guy's toes. The title should reflect what the section is really about, which is Maurice being a Black African man and white supremacist society having loudly-expressed but poorly-sourced "doubts".
So, maybe it could be changed to something like "Representations of Maurice's Race" or "Portrayals of Maurice as a Black African man". 174.115.100.93 (talk) 19:33, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Physical Characteristics" 

message: It isn't clear to me if, or how, Saint Maurice is venerated in the Coptic or other Oriental Orthodox Churches. There's a link to Copticchurch.net in the External links, and elsewhere on that website there is an article about St. Maurice, but toward the very end of the page it says "There is no entry in the Coptic Synxarion for these saints, neither is their any Coptic Church concecrated in their names" (apparently, as of 1992)  (link).  Copticchurch.net is affiliated with an actual church, so I would consider it to be a reliable source.  Meanwhile I found websites for three Coptic churches named (or co-named) for St. Maurice; again one of these websites says "There is no mentioning in the Coptic Synxarium of these saints, however, there is a number of new churches and altars that are erected in 20th. century and beyond." (link).  I assume, but really don't know, that if he were mentioned in the Synaxarium, then that mean's he's venerated, but since he isn't, he's not.  (Or maybe I'm just overthinking the term "venerate".) As for other Oriental Orthodox churches, I'm not personally aware (for what that's worth) that he is venerated (or otherwise mentioned) in the Ethiopian Orthodox church, and there's no interwiki link from this article to the Amharic Wikipedia (nor to other Ethiopian-language Wikipedias).  I had placed  in the article but I will update it based on what I've just found. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 23:43, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The text that I'd tagged with  has since been removed from the article, but it was still in the Infobox. As a result "Oriental Orthodox" was not otherwise mentioned, much less sourced, in the article. Since the  tag breaks the Infobox (at least, as it's currently configured), I have removed "Oriental Orthodox" from there. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 18:29, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

message: In the game Pentiment, Saint Moritz is the patron saint of the town of Tassing, where the game takes place. I was wondering if that is notable enough for it to be added to this wiki page. Hagamablabla (talk) 01:42, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
