Number of Children

I just wanted to comment that each wikipedia seems to list her having a different number of children. The french wikipedia says that she had 6 children, the german that she had 12, the italian that she had 8, the english that she had 8, and the Galego which says that she had 12. As you can see there seems to be some dispute. Just thought I'd comment. Chooserr 21:31, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Partial rollback of article

I've performed a partial rollback of this article to the version from May 2, 2015 [1] due to some observed inaccuracies that I noticed and suspect of being vandalism. I did retain a version of the infobox that appears to be correct. Inaccuracies that I noticed and remedied include the listing of Galileo Galilei among Bassi's correspondents (Galileo having died nearly 70 years before Bassi's birth) and the infobox indicating that she had influenced Elena Cornaro Piscopia, who had died more than a quarter century before Bassi's birth. If any editors feel that I've clobbered meaningful edits by performing a rollback, please feel free to restore the valid edits as you see fit. — Myasuda (talk) 02:07, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Evaluating Articles and Sources - WikiProject

I am here to critique, evaluate, and leave suggestions for improvement on this article for a WikiProject course I am in.

I see that this article is marked as a "start" class article and could use further work. However, the information present is thorough and neutral with good, unbiased citations. I think that there are a few underrepresented viewpoints on Laura Bassi's career and work as a scientist that could be detailed more. I looked through some sources and citations and they seem great! I had to read Paula Findlen's article for my class and it is extremely interesting and should provide a lot of information on Laura Bassi's career for this aritcle.

Is there a particular reason these individuals are listed? I am having a hard time seeing the connection of these people to Laura Bassi. Perhaps we could link other individuals? ALeigh602 (talk) 03:44, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Laura Bassi was not the first female professor in Europe

Laura, who taught at bologna University in the 18th century, was not the first woman to become a professor in Europe. It has been proven that Luisa de Medrano was in fact the first female professor in Europe at Salamanca University in the early 16th century. Laura's Wikipedia page should reflect this truth, as Laura would actually be considered the second in line, with Medrano being first, respectively. The Royal Herald (talk) 12:57, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
