Talk:Irène Joliot-Curie

message: Has anyone found any concrete sources on the existence of this thing? I'd like to know the original French title and some more information so I could start an article on the thing. Benplowman 21:14, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The Co-operative

message: An anonymous user expressed problems with the description of her children as "esteemed," describing it as a  peacock term. There isn't a template to describe this sort of change, but I agree it should be made. Benplowman 20:09, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Why "Irène Joliot-Curie ... was a French-Polish scientist"? As far as I know, she was born, raised, educated and spent her whole life in France. Her mother was "French-Polish" (or "Polish-French"?), but that does not make Irène Joliot-Curie Polish.Tsf 16:23, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: French-Polish or French?

message: I removed a few words that said that "like her mother", Irene Joliot-Curie was diagnosed with leukemia. Marie Curie was not diagnosed with leukemia. In her biography, in news articles about her death (such as her NY Times obituary), and even in later books, it's stated categorically that Marie Curie had aplastic anemia, which is not a leukemia. The two are somewhat simple to differentiate, because aplastic anemia patients simply don't have enough blood cells, whereas leukemia patients have far too many cells, and most are abnormal. --Charlene 06:56, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, alright then. I'll change it in the Hebrew wiki (in both the Curies articles). okedem 07:50, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: "Like her mother"

message: Listed "Doctoral students" are "her daughters (see below)". But (a) she had one daughter and one son, and (b) there is no mention "below" of her teaching them in any formal way. 78.138.26.108 (talk) 19:05, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Home schooler? 

message: I added in the cause of her husband's death in the personal life section and included the citation. I plan on making more edits also about her personal life. -Kbonneville (talk) 16:43, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Frederic's death 

message: The dates of 1928 was originally shown on the article for Irene and her husbands works with the positron but they didn't have access to work on it completely until 1932 when they received her mother's polonium -Rm738 (talk) 16:54, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Updated Conflicting Information  

message: I am filling some gap in the timeline of Irene's work. I added about her finding of the mass of the neutron, her attendance of the seventh Solvay conference. I added about her finding of artificial radioactivity was also the first discovery of proton emission or beta decay. Also I continued to add onto her work with nuclear science with her involvement in the ZOE reactor. I also just added some citations and fixed up some grammar within the section in general. -Rm738 (talk) 19:50, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding into Research section 

message: The claim that 75% of electricity production in France stems from Joliot-Curies work is untrue. Investing into nuclear energy in France was a political decision made in 1974 to try and become less dependent on fossile fuel.Cgrisarlevipe (talk) 20:48, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Remove from Research section 

message: I am going to be majorly reorganizing the content of this section along with adding more dates and information. I have a pretty full timeline of her education now. Most of the content that has been removed from before is due to having no reference. -Kbonneville (talk) 20:32, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reorganizing and Adding to Early Life and Education section 

message: I slightly changed this section to include content that I could actually find sources for. I also added more dates to better understand her timeline. -Kbonneville (talk) 15:47, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reorganizing and Adding to World War I section 

message: I added citations to the context already there and organized it for flow better. I also added sentences to add context to broad statements. I also added another sentence to Research section about Nuclear Reactor Zoe. -Rm738 (talk) 04:41, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reorganizing and Adding to Personal Life Section 

message: This article might be improved by copying/translating material from French-language Wikipedia article, esepcially wioth regard to anti-facist political activity.  (I myslef do not have time to do this.) Acwilson9 (talk) 03:00, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copy/translate material from French-language Wikipedia article 

message: The article mentions that she missed out on the discovery of the positron and neutron, but not of fission. (And, presumably, the record for narrowly missing the most Nobel prizes.) Gah4 (talk) 18:16, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
