Question(s)

"Georges Claude Chauchoin (1867-1925), a banker" in English Wiki,(TIME refers to him as "a minor bank functionary"); in French Wiki, he is referred to as a "patissier" (a pastry maker). Not very important, but it would be good to get it right. Any clarifications?Orbicle 13:29, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Barbados image

I have removed Image:Mini moke.jpg from the article. Although it is a Commons image it serves no real purpose. It would be more significant (in fact it would be very good indeed) if it showed Colbert's home. But it doesn't - it shows a random section of beach. I understand it's meant to illustrate where Colbert spent her final years, but that's unnecessary. We could just as easily include images of the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty and Hollywood Sign to illustrate the time she lived in Paris, New York and Los Angeles, and no, I am not suggesting we do that. I don't think the image helps the article at all, and is purely decorative. It has nothing to do with Colbert. Rossrs 23:43, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Origins

{{editprotected}} It is described that Colbert was French-American in summary and category of this page, but Paris-born is not necessarily the French. Her mother racial origin is uncertain. Her mother's maiden name (Loew) is not usually used in France. Birthplace and hometown of her mother are unidentified, too. There is not evidence that her mother was the French. In addition, Colbert grew up in the United States. I am reasonably well-informed about Colbert and her era. I did many research on the books and web. But I couldn't find such an evidence. Unless anyone can come up with source, administrator should delete this passage.Ygr1 10:25, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

The page ought to be unprotected soon, and then you will be able to edit the article yourself. Until then, it would be inappropriate for an administrator to make the edits you propose. Please be patient; the article will not be protected forever. CMummert · talk 14:07, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Dramatic actress

{{editprotected}} It is explained in summary of this page that she made a strong impression as a dramatic actress in her early career. However, she appeared many comedies (Young Man of Manhattan, The Big Pond, Grande mare, La, Mysterious Mr. Parkes, The Smiling Lieutenant, The Wiser Sex, Misleading Lady, The Phantom President, Three-Cornered Moon, Four Frightened People) from 1927 to 1934, not only drama. Perhaps it seems that the person who does not know Colbert well edited it. See IMBD. Administrator should delete this opinion.Ygr1 12:16, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Minor edit

Above the categories, please change the line

{{DEFAULTSORT|Colbert, Claudette}}

to

{{DEFAULTSORT:Colbert, Claudette}}

(pipe to colon); DEFAULTSORT is not a template, but rather a magic word. —Zachary talk 12:29, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
