Removing irrelevant links
I have removed these two links which do not contribute in any way to this article. --Lawrlafo (talk) 20:53, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Gabriela Mistral
I noticed that the English version of the page on Gabriela Mistral says that she was born in 1885, whereas the Spanish (and many other languages) say that she was born in 1889.

 * Good catch. 1889 is correct, according to multiple sources in Google books.  It looks like it is a simple typo.  I've fixed it in the article. --Noleander (talk) 09:53, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Lesbian?
Not saying she wasn't but the text isn't very clear on that. Am I missing something?--T. Anthony (talk) 11:34, 29 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Okay I found a New York Times article on it, but she apparently said "They've even hung this silly lesbianism on me, which wounds me in a way that I can't even put into words. Have you ever seen so big a falsehood?" Although a professor Licia Fiol-Matta did write, A Queer Mother for the Nation: The State and Gabriela Mistral.--T. Anthony (talk) 11:40, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Gabriela Mistral wasn't a lesbian. Doris Dana in her last interview clarify this point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.77.168.155 (talk) 12:59, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Please, stop including Gabriela Mistral in LGTB categories. It's just wrong.

Hempstead Hospital
How did she end up in Hempstead Hospital? That statement caught my eye because I was born in that hospital one year later in January 1958.

Was Gabriela actually a feminist? No sources nor proof anywhere in this article
Please check out your sources before adding that into her bio. I say it's very strange to find out here that she was tagged into that movement, considering that not even the spanish article has any citations to prove she was one. None, not in chilean schools, not even chilean feminists have ever claimed she was one of them, at least not with solid proof nor sources at hand. Instead, you can find out at the Museo Gabriela Mistral of Chile (https://www.mgmistral.gob.cl/634/w3-article-53134.html?_noredirect=1) that she never claimed to be a feminist. She criticized the movement and her relationship with most feminists of the time was very bad, as both ideas and points of view were often contrary at each other. She was painted by feminists as a supporter of patriarchy, and as it's written in this article, she chose her pseudonym from two men's names, the italian poet and military officer Gabriele D'Annunzio, and french poet Frédéric Mistral. You should know too that both of them weren't quite as close to the feminist movement.

In best of spirits to improve this site's reputation, I suggest that if you don't have any better sources that can deny the information brought to us by the official museum of our Nobel, then please don't add false information to Gabriela's article. I'll check out next week if you have fixed the problem already. Thanks in advance, and my apologies if I committed any grammar mistakes.
