Talk:Danièle Aron-Rosa

Surgical procedure wrongly described
The CAPSULOTOMY is a procedure on structure at the FRONT of the eye, not the back, as described in the article. I would correct the language in the article, except that it has a footnote citation to which I do not have access, and I am not a medical anatomist, sure of my accurate descriptive skill in this context. Suffice it to say the "lens capsule" is where the lens, or a substitute, is, at the front. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FrankMJohnson (talk • contribs) 04:42, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The source says "In the early 1970s, Dr. Daniele Aron-Rosa of the Rothschild Eye Foundation in Paris began experiments in which she attempted to cut vitreous strands using a laser. She had some success, but the real success came in the late 70s when she applied her laser to perform posterior capsulotomies." I've changed the language to say that. I am happy to send the article to you but as you say you are unsure of you skill in this context, perhaps can assist. SusunW (talk) 06:00, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Identity
Moving the discussion from here and here to the article talk page. At issue is whether according to the sources she should be identified as Tunisian-French or simply French. removed Tunisian-French, based upon WP:ETHNICITY. Sources do not indicate what her citizenship status is and are divided on identifying her. She has stated that she identifies as a Tunisian Jewish woman. Comments are welcome.

 * If the sources do not indicate her citizenship and she identifies as a certain ethnicity or associates with specific nationalities then what's the harm? It's not like she lived in Tunisia and France but identifies as Mongolian. I could call myself Italian. I grew up in Italy. I have papers as an Italian citizen. I wasn't born there nor do I have any genetic ties to Italy.
 * I identify as Jewish because of my ancestry. I have genetic ties to the Jews through my father. But I've only been to Israel a few times and I do not consider myself Israeli. My father's family immigrated to Germany. My great-grandmother escaped Germany with my grandmother at the start of World War 2.
 * The same with being Cherokee only that I was born in Oklahoma but lived there for two years of my life. I am a registered citizen of the Cherokee Nation.
 * I also identify with the Crow of Montana and the Tlingit of Alaska. I was adopted into both Nations and have spent extensive time with them. I may not have ancestral ties to either but they don't see it that way.
 * I just don't see the harm in including how she identifies in an article on her. If you want to put a caveat or some asterisk so be it. It's the hard line approaches to some "rules" here, an exact opposite from what the five pillars say by the way, that cause people to turn away from Wikipedia. I believe you can ask the founders of this project and they will say they didn't want another Britannica or just an encyclopedia. It needs to connect with real world people. It needs to address subjects important to real people from all walks of life. Yes, the rules have their place and we should honor them where we can but they are not and should not be the supreme authority in most cases, our connection with humanity should be. The project needs to have some depth in all directions. This just seems like a trivial thing to have as a hang-up on. --Tsistunagiska (talk) 13:54, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Tunisia was not a French colony but a French protectorate, and thus its residents did not lose their Tunisian nationality. They did not even acquire French nationality automatically (unlike Algeria, for example). So as long as she identifies as Tunisian it's totally fine to keep her Tunisian nationality.
