thread_title: Family Killed?

message: The article first says she died of typhus, then that she died of tuberculosis. Presumably it is one or the other, but not both.

message: Rather than rewriting the second note at the end of the Kato Svanidze article, (below), I am making a comment:
b Simon Sebag Montefiore misspells the name as "Monoselidze" throughout his book; the actual name is Monaselidze (Georgian: მონასელიძე, a somewhat common Georgian surname.[31]
When the actual name is "მონასელიძე" are not the two Engllsh spellings more a disagreement of how best to spell something using a different alphabet?  Would it not be more accurate to state:  [Simon Sebag Montefiore spells the name "Monoselidze" throughout his book; the preferred transliteration is "Monaselidze", (a somewhat common Georgian surname).]

thread_title:  Translation disagreements?? 

message: I've seen several wiki articles claim that she was shot, however Svetlana Alliluyeva, Stalin's daughter, says Maria died of a heart attack upon learning of the sentencing of Alexander Svanidze. She was in Dolinskoye women's camp in Kazakhstan at that moment, sentenced to ten years. This is from Twenty Letters to a Friend, pp 67-68. Should this be fixed or not?

replies: text: I actually was looking into this. There's a few different sources that say different things; I'm working on collecting them all and adding them to the article, noting that there is discrepancies. Kaiser matias (talk) 23:30, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Maria Svanidze death 

message: I believe that the photo of Kato Svanidze that's said to be taken in 1905 is actually a photo of the soviet actress Anna Tarasova in the role of Anna Karenina. I'm not quite sure how I upload photos here or if I can, but I hope someone else can quickly have a look at this and see if I'm right or wrong. (Her memoirs and postcards carries the photo that's called Kato's here) APebble (talk) 08:21, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for noting that. Do you have something showing that? If you do I don't see why we can't remove the image in question here. Kaiser matias (talk) 02:35, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes there's quite a few photos showing this. I have to apologies, the actress name is actually Alla Tarasova, and she played the role at the Moscow Art Theater in 1937. Try googling her name in Russian with Anna Karenina or 1937 and you'll see the very same photo used here, as Kato's, from trustable sites showing it's Tarasova :) I apologise that I can't be of bigger help with actually showing the photos, but I've just joined wikipedia and don't want to make any mistakes with photos and fair use.

replies: text: Thanks for your help there. I removed the photo as it very well may not be Svandize, and with photos already there it's not hurting the article by having it gone. Kaiser matias (talk) 22:42, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Photo of Ekaterina c. 1905 

message: I am confused by this passage:  « In 1938, Stalin ordered Alyosha and his wife, Maria, to be arrested. He demanded that Alyosha admit he was a German spy; but Alexander refused.[32] Alyosha was executed in 1941, while Mariko and Maria were shot in 1942. »
Are Alexander and Alyosha the same person? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 05:41, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: They are the same person, though I see where the confusion is. I reworded it to be more clearer. Kaiser matias (talk) 16:59, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks!  I thought that was the case, but don't know enough about Russian names to make a correction. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 18:06, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
