Talk:Dora Gad

"Notable projects": one big chain of mistakes and inaccuracies
hi, maybe you are interested in sorting out a few things, as former contributors? Pls see the two topics on the talk-page. Thank you and excuse me for pinging you uninvited.

Hardly anything is sourced. So many proven mistakes make me doubt all the other details, too.


 * "The residence of the Prime Minister (Jerusalem, 1950)": Clarify: which? If Beit Aghion is meant: Richard Kauffmann designed the house for E. Aghion in the 30s. It only became the PM residence after being bought by the gov't in 1952, so what was she doing there in 1950?
 * "The vessels of Zim, the national shipping line (together with the Mansfeld-Weinraub firm, 1955–1975)": Dubious. Interior designers don't design cargo ships. Maybe the logo? Offices?
 * "The Ben Gurion International Airport (1973)": Clarify. Probably Terminal 1? If so and a source can be found, pls add her name to that article too.
 * "The Bank of Israel (Jerusalem, 1980)": Clarify. Which? I guess not the old Erich Mendelsohn building, and the current HQ in the Gov't Quarter looks a bit too new - or maybe it's not, but it's unsourced, and judging by the rest here... If a source can be found, pls add a section on the building with her name to that article too.
 * "The Presidential residence in Talbiya, Jerusalem (1984–1985)": Dubious. The building was designed by Aba Elhanani and inaugurated in 1971. What did she do? Wrong year? Interior design updates after a decade? Mistake? If a source can be found, pls add the info to that article too. Initially it said "in Rehavia", but only Ben Zvi had his office in Rehavia, and that was in the 50s.

Place of birth: unlikely (& unsourced)
"Born in Câmpulung" unsourced like most details, and there are several "Longfield" (câmp lung) towns in Romania, with the better known (and wikilinked one), which is in Wallachia, less known for Jews than another one from Bukovina.

Pls mind that Bukovina Jews were closely connected to Vienna, where Spiegel went to study. It's pretty clear to me that she was from Câmpulung Moldovenesc, unless her family had recently moved to Wallachia.

If my hunch proves correct, the category (Category:People from Câmpulung) must be removed. I don't know if there's a similar one for Câmpulung Moldovenesc.
