Talk:Marie Marvingt

message: excuse me but where did you found your informations about Marie, especially about 1914-1918 ? 
Is there any documentation to back up the claim that she could swim 4000m (2.48 miles) at age 5?  That sounds unlikely.Jtyroler (talk) 12:13, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Her tomb is now quite well cited. The following gives an actual photo of the grave and supports the Croix de Guerre claim:

So, she certainly was awarded the C de G + Palm for some valiant war service or other.  But the often-repeated bombing mission to Metz is not, as far  as I'm aware, fully supported by a hard-fact citation, despite my having made many searches.  Unfortunately, the French Wikipedia article on MM does not directly cite it, either. The best prospect would be for someone living in France, and hopefully a born French-person, who knows how to discover what exactly her Croix de Guerre was awarded for.  Where are the archives and are they searchable online, as one could at Kew in England, for a comparable British award?
Until the bombing mission is factually proven, I'm sorry to have to say that something like "... is said to have ..." ought to be inserted in the relevant sentence(s) of the Article.
Maybe, without detracting from MM's wonderful life, we could insert a short section near the end of the Article on "Uncertainties"?

thread_title:  Croix de Guerre 14 - 18 - actual citation needed regarding bombing mission 

message: The article includes the statement that Marvingt wrote fiction and prize-winning poetry under the pseudonym Myriel.  Not only is this uncited, but also I cannot find any evidence by using Google.fr.
Was she "Myriel" or "Myrielle"?  Can anyone back up this information please?Dendrotek 19:23, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

message: I do not have editorial experience in handling these "insufficient inline citations" boxes.  May anyone delete them?  There are now a good number of inline citations that I have added over a period of time.  The article could be submitted for a review.  I would be willing to submit it and then act on further suggestions, since I am still interested in MM.--Dendrotek 22:13, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
