Age

Serious question as to actual year of birth (regardless of IMDb).O'Donoghue 16:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the question not so serious considering three globally well respected newspapers agree on her birth year. I've added the verification. --RossF18 02:08, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
See my updates re date/year of birth. Quis separabit? 16:50, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, all that should be put into a footnote and not crammed into the lead. Sorry, but I don't have the time or inclination to do it myself right now. Sincerely, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 21:46, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV/weasel-word problem

[edit]

"Murdered by the Bolsheviks" is simultaneously POV and information-free. Given that this was a political act, the article needs to be precise on this point. Were her brothers killed in combat? Arrested and executed? Assassinated in the street? "Murdered" tells us nothing but that the writer is anti-Bolshevik. Laodah 20:53, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

BELATED REPLY: The Bolsheviks were brutal. IMHO, the wording is fine. Quis separabit? 03:36, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Patronymic

[edit]

I often wondered what her patronymic was and when I saw someone had added "Konstantinovna", I had to wonder where this info came from. It is valid, found here. Now, if only I could write and request a copy of her birth certificateb from Moscow Oblast, LOL. Maybe I'll do it. I am sure they will understand English. Or I could try a Google translate into Russian Cyrillic, but ... Quis separabit? 03:35, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
