Unsightly fact tags
Editor Anthony on Stilts came through and added a horde of tags after several items in the introductory paragraph. Martyrologies aren't critical history. If there are questions as to the veracity of the traditional story, it should be rephrased appropriately with reference to the traditional sources, not spammed or removed. Reasons to question the story can be added to an appropriate place lower in the article. -

To me, this "story" is as credible as Harry Potter or any other fiction. Would it not be nice to have some indication of lack of credibility, instead of the current indication that this really happened? Something like "according to early Christians, desperate for proof of their religions worth, again used the number 40, and the notorious non-christian Roman army, to make a show of martyr ship with this story".
And besides, this would apply to all articles dealing with religion, unless the facts have been proven by historians or (in the case of Jesus resurrection of his (according to some scholars very practically) brother-in-law Lazarus) scientific experiments/test.
If you look at articles on older, now rebuked religions, this kind of disclaimer on the article to be anything near real life/truth are abundant, but in the equally stupid/fictitious "living" religions, I miss this information.
How do we know that The Forty came from Legio XII Fulminata? Is this recorded anywhere in a credible source or is this speculation?

In Legio XII's page it mentions Fulminata is properly translated as 'Armed with Lightning.' "Thundering" would be Fulminatrix. May as well reference them correctly if you reference them at all. —Preceding

This are not the same thing. K is a modern attempt to clean up demotic Greek and make it more like Ancient Greek. Where's the optative? Where's the dual? So, is this Ancient, or Katharevousa? Or something else? If anyone ones to argue that these are the same language, let's simply call it Greek. --
