Is Eve Curie still living? I can't find any info on her having passed, but she'd be 101 now! A Runyon 17:35, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

She was when you posted your comment, but has died since. — AnnaKucsma Speak! 15:48, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the reference as being "French-Polish". See Talk:Irène_Joliot-Curie (Ève's sister) for an explanation. It seems that User: Kowalmistrz exaggerates in his endeavor to find as many famous Poles as possible! Poland produced enough famous people of its own. Tsf 23:44, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have the book "Journey Among Warriors" and the copyright is 1943. The book was published by Doubleday, Doran and Co, Inc. in 1943. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.59.15.225 (talk • contribs) 21:16, 26 July 2007

Fair use rationale for File:Eve Curie.jpg

File:Eve Curie.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

New article

A new article about Eve Curie. This is a translation of my own article which I wrote for the Polish Wikipedia. I'm sure the article is not perfect - English is not my mother tongue, so I would be grateful for any corrections. Andrzej Matras (talk) 10:17, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Citizenship in opening paragraph

According to the Wikipedia manual of style for biographies, section on opening paragraphs:

"The opening paragraph should have: [...] 3. Context (location, nationality, or ethnicity); 1. In most modern-day cases this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen, national or permanent resident, or if notable mainly for past events, the country where the person was a citizen, national or permanent resident when the person became notable. [...]"

In this case, Ève Curie's notable works would be her books, Madame Curie, and Journey Among Warriors, written respectively in 1937 and 1943. At that time, she was of French citizenship and nationality only, as she became related to the United States of America only later, when she married Henry Richardson Labouisse, Jr. in 1954, and more concretely when she became naturalized American in 1958.

Thus, the opening paragraph should introduce her as a French person.

Nazism

When writing about Eve's fight it should be written "against nazi Germans" not started her active fight against Nazism". Also why do you write nazism with a big letter????
