Talk:Elizabeth Burgos

message: This article is poorly written, contains no citations, and seems to accuse Burgos of tampering with Menchu's account (which, even if true, does not follow NPOV). It needs to be rewritten. --n-k, 17:33, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Seconded. The only citation for this article is not particularly appropriate, and every other claim in the article needs to be substantiated by citations.

According to that article, and an external source, the sudrophone was patented in 1892, and Sudre lived between 1844-1912. Furthermore, none of the external links in this article mentions the sudrophone. Either the dates are incorrect, or (more likely) this is two different individuals. This needs to be clarified. (Also, the solresol said that he published his major work in 1866, four years after his death, wich also needs clarification (probably published posthumously, but still needs sources)). --90.129.3.82 (talk) 14:45, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Briffault's Law's Corollaries 

message: Consider this. His father (Frederic Briffault) was a senior career diplomat, and had no other children. He held a diplomatic post in Scotland when his young wife became pregnant. There is NO WAY that he would have countenanced allowing his first child to be born in any country other than FRANCE. Virtually certainly, Frederic would have arranged for his wife to be in France as her time for childbirth approached. He would have chosen a NICE (!) place for her. Those who think he was born in London could easily have been influenced by his known affection for the British Library, and his long period of residence in London after his military service (for the NZ Medical Corps at Gallipoli, and later for the French Medical Corps in France) during WW1.

It is a common argument used to demonstrate that in modern society, women tend to choose a sexual partner with the highest possible income. Actually, that sentence comes from the chapter Social relations among animals. Briffault never quoted it as a law, nor related directly to human behaviour.

thread_title:  Public domain works? 

message: Here is the lead section as it stands:
:Pierre Barbet (May 16, 1925 - July 20, 1995) was the main pseudonym used by French science fiction writer Claude Avice. Claude Avice, a Doctor of Pharmacy, also used the pseudonyms of Olivier Sprigel and David Maine. Several of his novels were translated into English and published by DAW Books.
:Barbet (1884-1961) also advanced a set of theories concerning the Crucifixion of Jesus that are disputed by physician Frederick Zugibe.
It is difficult for me to understand how a person could be born in both 1884 and 1925, and die in both 1961 and 1995.  I infer that the intent is that these are two different people.  If so they should have different biographies, assuming they are both sufficiently notable for biographies.  Even if they are not, it is not appropriate to mention both in the same bio merely because they accidentally had the same name. --Trovatore (talk) 21:04, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: This is true; however, another wikipedia policy directly contradicts this.  According to MOS:IDENTITY, the term used for a person will be the one used by the person themself.  In Herculine Barbin's own writings, both masculine and feminine words, verbs, and pronouns are used to refer to her/himself. Ashley Suk (talk) 18:08, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Pronoun

message: The description of which pronouns Barbin used got mangled in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Herculine_Barbin&oldid=763284872 , by the addition of the text ", including Alexina and Camille,". These are names, not pronouns. They also were inserted just after "male pronouns", which is even more confusing, since Alexina appears to be a feminine name, and Camille typically feminine (and for all I know, may only have been feminine in France at that time). I suggest that this insertion be simply removed, or rewritten by someone familiar with the memoirs as a separate sentence to provide evidence that she used these names at a particular stage in her memoirs to indicate a particular gender identity.

Also, the version of the article on French Wikipedia clearly considers "le secret du vieux" and "le vieux" as the same book, and doesn't even consider that they may be different - attributing the difference in title to just a typo.
