Discussion

I've translated some bits of this from fr:Louise Michel. It would be good if someone could check this at some stage and check that I haven't lost any important nuances - I'm not at all familiar with this person, so I could be making stuff up. :) Stevage 08:26, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it Théophile Ferré, not Ferr?--Mr. RX99 20:45, 29 May 2006 (UTC)(wasn't signed in, so I changed my signature from the IP address)- Whoops, its Theodore. The names look pretty familiar. Sorry.[reply]

Edited the social legacy section for grammar, per request from translation page. I tried to stay true to the French article, but it seems that both versions of this article are somewhat unbiased; i.e. they lavish praise on Michel. Also, I'm not sure that a physical description of her or the information about her male friends is particularly relevant to hre social legacy. Audball 21:25, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know that it's just translated from the French, but the social legacy section is pretty poor. It repeats information from earlier: 'she is often referred to as "Bonne Louise" (Good Louise)'; It contains wild and almost certainly untrue, or at least very ethnocentric statements: 'She was, with George Sand, one of the rare women of the 19th century to have worn male clothing at one stage of her life'; there's opinion: 'it is without the slightest doubt her courage which best characterises her personality', 'How appropriate, thus, that she now represents in the memories and unconscious of the people' and it's totally unreferenced. Anyway, I guess that she had a social legacy, so there should be something written here, but I don't know enough about her to write it, so just flagging it for others to fix.

Is this the correct cemetery?

On the article it mentions: "She was with the Communards who made their last stand in the cemetery of Montmartre". This article mentions: Thiers was buried in Cimetière du Père Lachaise, an ironic resting place since one of the bloodiest battles of the Commune took place within the cemetery walls. Also this source mentions cemetery Cimetière du Père Lachaise as the one were the last battle of the commune took place. Kantale (talk) 22:56, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
