Talk:Christine and Léa Papin

Unexplained
How, after all that did one of the sisters get a job as a hotel maid?? Any contemporary discussion of this would improve the article. 40.141.198.2 (talk) 04:18, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello folks. Feel free to make any comments or ask any questions about this page or the Papin sisters in general. I'm an expert on the subject, as a result of researching the sisters and writing a play, screenplay and book on them. So fire away. Neilrobertpaton 07:41, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not the one who wrote this article in the first place, but I couldn't help noticing that the phrasing was very similar to some of the passages in my website on the Papin sisters. That's ok though. Since I have such an interest in the subject, I like to expand the article a little from time to time, when I think of something suitable. Sardaka 10:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Papinsisters.jpg
Image:Papinsisters.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Article violates WP policies on requirement for sourcing
In many places in the text, the article lacks inline citations (contrary to WP's content verifiability policy). This makes it unclear as to whether we are reading WP editor's original research/interpretations, versus the published perspectives of scholars, historical or otherwise, on the title subject. Hence it is hard to avoid the conclusion that the article violates Wikipedia WP:VERIFY and/or WP:ORIGINAL RESEARCH policies. To arrive at this same conclusion, (i) compare the lede to the main body, and note material in the lede not in, or not sourced in, the main body, (ii) skim each sentence in the main body, and for all those lacking citations, check the end of paragraph citation (if one appears) for the material appearing in that and other sentences in the paragraph. I believe you will reach the same conclusion that we did. 2601:246:CA80:3CB5:2C62:22CD:CF77:8A1B (talk) 23:18, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Popular Front?
I'm not sure that I understand the purpose to linking to the page on the Popular Front in the See Also section. While I get that the case was used as a way to talk about the working class vs. upper classes, does linking to the Popular Front page serve any real purpose otherwise?

Some of this article does not make sense.
Some of this article does not make sense. There are evidently some missing words here and there. The following sentence quoted from the article is extremely odd: "Christine became extremely distressed because she could not see Léa and acted out as a result." No idea what "acted out" may mean. A good editor who knows the subject needs to take a look. Bkesselman (talk) 16:27, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

A year later the phrase "acted out as a result" was still there, so I removed it myself.Bkesselman (talk) 08:50, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Alleged provocations
The description presents the sisters as having been provoked by their employer's intolerable behaviour, but the French wikipedia article does not mention such behaviour and indeed explicitly says that they themselves did not complain about their employer's behaviour and that no such motive was visible. 62.73.69.121 (talk) 16:53, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
