message: All about Miep Gies
If Miep Gies was knighted then surely we should change the name of the article from Miep Gies to Dame Miep Gies or Lady Miep Gies?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.15.26.99 (talk) 14:00, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I think Miep is an extraordinary women. She has gone to extreme heights to make sure that Anne Franks story is told. 
Showing GREAT courage, to hide the Franks.. who in return had great courage themselves. A little girl, hardly old enough
to know the horror that surrounds her,Anne wrote in a diary continuosly about the whereabouts of the people who she shared in hiding. Not two years after, Anne had died. Thanks to Otto Frank (Annes dad) & Miep Gies we are open to Annes story of the last two years of her life.
But in return we cherish the stories and memories of everyone who was affected by the Holocaust. 
We remeber and honor the stories of many survivors,and give specialthanks to those who live or lived to help tell thier stories.'''

message: Why is there a trivia section with one statement, that the subject was Christian?  Is this believed to be trivial?  I honestly don't know; it just looks odd. Coleca (talk) 04:35, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

message: How did she avoid being punished? Were the Nazis unable to prove she helped to protect the Achterhuis and its inhabitants, or did they just not care, or..? I think an explanation is worth adding to the article. 173.20.123.42 (talk) 20:32, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

message: There is a possible typo in the 1st sentence of the section titled "Honors and awards".
It says, "In 1994, Gies was not awarded" the order and medal.
Did it mean to say instead that she was awarded those?

message: This is on the Anne Frank page here on wiki??
Braams was the girlfriend of a Dutch resistance worker called Jannes Haan, and she was supposed to be helping him protect Jews and help the Resistance. As the war progressed, Haan became suspicious that his girlfriend was really a double agent for the Nazis: an awful lot of the Jewish families he entrusted to her were vanishing without trace, or being rounded up. When she became aware of his suspicions, Braams betrayed Haan to the Gestapo, and he was executed. It was later estimated that Miep Braams was responsible for betraying as many as two hundred Jewish families, including ours — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.179.5.223 (talk) 07:39, March 9, 2015 (UTC)
Flatly, no, it is not correct. 
 "Braams was the girlfriend of a Dutch resistance worker... responsible for betraying as many as two hundred Jewish families, including ours."
That entire thing is word to word copied from this site: http://www.tihapp.com/events/54923 , which is equivalent to private blogs and should not be trusted, and plus, Miep Gies and Miep Braams are two entirely different people. According to the article, the above quotation was to describe the trial of "Miep Braams" not "Miep Gies." Read something carefully before making rash comments.
