Rfv-sense: (countable) An act of altruism or beneficence.

Other sense is quality of being charitable. This could use citations, at the very least to help determine whether use in this sense could be limited by date or register. DCDuring TALK 15:08, 22 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

I've added three citations of "charitablenesses". Most of the hits of "a charitableness" seem to be using the supposedly uncountable sense, merely preceded by "a" to indicate "a particular kind of". Perhaps the {{uncountable}} tag should be re-examined. - -sche (discuss) 07:14, 24 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
