Gymnasium

In English this word never means a school, despite the Wikipedia article with that title - it's a place for physical exercise, mostly reduced to 'gym', which is why what the Dutch call (in their own invented English) a 'fitnesscenter' is a 'gym' in good English. So there's no way Anna Blume could have been an art teacher at a gymnasium.

I don't see how to correct this without wrecking the hyperlink, but I hope someone does know how to do it - there's enough bad English on the Internet already!188.203.49.105 (talk) 18:52, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

death notice Anna Blume

It's not the same ref, its the death notice from her daughter Hedwig, and this is the more reliable one. Grimes2 (talk) 06:56, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I missed that, in the paper they appeared next to each other, styled alike, and both give the same DOB, celebrated 80 years later at the Kolumba. Her daughter is a reliable person, and so are her sisters ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:08, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ohh, the other notice is from her sisters. Then this is of of course also reliable. ;) Grimes2 (talk) 07:31, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Misunderstandings: one death notice is private (daugter, sisters and families, childhood friend, her husband's family), the other by artists and galleries. Both are now in the article. Everybody attending the big event on her 80th birthday (many, including myself) knew her official birthday, but we can only report what the sources say. One of the stories told that day was that her father (a physician, as her daughter) delivered her himself and gave official notice a day later as he didn't want his daughter to have the same birth day as Hitler. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:08, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
