GA nomination[edit]

i've nominated for GA since the revscore indicates GA. https://ores.wmflabs.org/scores/enwiki/wp10/705169678/ -- Duckduckstop (talk) 17:54, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Elizabet or Elizabeth[edit]

The article name is without the final h but the birth name is with the h. Did the subject drop the final h by habit? I think that the article should provide an explanation of this.--172.56.33.44 (talk) 18:38, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have three biographies of Ney. One does not give her birth name. One gives the it with an "H" and the other gives it with no "H."
"Life", as Oscar Wilde reminded us, "is seldom pure and never simple." Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 19:33, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

She is, in any case, always, well, almost always, referred to as "Elizabet", even for the rest of the book that has her born with an "H". Carptrash (talk) 19:37, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Possible re-dating of a photo[edit]

In the "Gallery" section, the 7th 'entry' is a photo of "Ney in her Atelier.". If you look at the right of the photo, you'll see a drape-covered work. Its pose, especially the upper part, matches the pose of the upper part of Ney's Lady Macbeth of which there is a photo "right" next to the Atelier photo.

Since the work dates for Lady Macbeth are known (1903-05), how about considering re-dating the Atelier caption by replacing the "circa 1900" with "1903-05"?

Just a thought. 2600:8800:786:A300:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 20:50, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is most certainly a WIP Lady Macbeth under the drape. I support the motion!-Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 21:10, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Info Needed[edit]

As a native Austinite, I have visited the E. New museum numerous times. My great, great grandfather Joseph Goodman (a German immigrant himself) sold groceries to New when she rode in to Austin. She was Austin's first international socialite, and hosted various name-worthy, European notable artist, writers, musicians whenever they passed through this city. So I enjoyed this page, HOWEVER there is no mention of a few key facts about her:

1. that she left Germany rather suddenly and under mysterious circumstances, which have never been adequately explained, although the most common explanations are either : a) abad love affair with someone of nobility, or b) something to do with political intrigue as a result of the military and political instabilities of that part of Germany at the time.

2. that she lived what was for the time, a rather independent and scandalous lifestyle! Namely, that she a) rode her horse astride like a man, b) ate what I think can best be described as a macrobiotic diet, c) slept outside on her roof in warm weather, and d) was essentially an unmarried woman who referred to the father of her children, Dr Montgomery, as "her friend".

I hope that someone can add these items to this page and include those in her bio. ML — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:EF0A:4EF0:E0FA:3830:EF48:C78C (talk) 15:31, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! The article actually does already specifically discuss her unconventional lifestyle ("She wore pants and rode her horses astride as men did.") and her reluctance to publicly acknowledge her marriage ("She refused to use Montgomery's name, often denied she was even married..."), though it could probably say more about those matters. It definitely should be expanded to better cover her emigration from Europe to Georgia and then Texas; I'll try to get to it the next time I check out a copy of her biography from the library!-Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 16:22, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
