Years of birth/death for Pierre

Might want to fix that.. the numbers are swapped. He was born in 59. Not 95. As it stands - it seems as if he died at 11. Whyforartthou (talk) 16:20, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

If you're referring to the entry in the infobox, it states "m. 1895", meaning "married in 1895". Mindmatrix 00:58, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Change Marie Curie to Marie Skłodowska-Curie or Marie Sklodowska-Curie .

Skłodowska (or just Sklodowska) is her maiden name! She adopted Curie when she got married, and she kept both names. You rob her of her heritage by not using her full name!

There is a "-" between names. Its not Sklodowska Curie, but Sklodowska-Curie. Look at this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Louis-Dreyfus. This is the same situation so common name does not apply. You are just artificially cutting her name in half. This is incorrect, simply not her name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LukKur (talk • contribs) 22:20, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

 Already done. LukKur, the article already starts with Marie Skłodowska Curie, on account of that being her full name. The page name does not because that is the not what people are going to be searching for when they want to read an article about her. Granted, we could move the article to her full name but that would make information about her harder to find - how would that not be robbing her of her heritage? --Paul ❬talk❭ 12:21, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

For “In popular culture” Dr. Marie Curie is referenced in the game Fallout 3. Mother Curie III is a reference to Marie Curie, mainly in name but also in her fate. In the story Mother Curie deals with irradiated water and, depending on player choice, has a chance to be turned into a Ghoul due to radiation exposure.

In the “Death” section could you please change the quote “concluded that she could not have been exposed to lethal levels of radiation while she was alive’” to “concluded that she could not have been exposed to lethal levels of radium while she was alive” as per the referenced source material (reference 79).

Quick Google search provides multiple results on this. Among which there's this website: culture.pl

Curie's full name is already on the page (first three words of the lede). The page name itself is 'Marie Curie' because that's what most people know her by -- the WP:COMMONNAME policy doesn't require we use someone's full official name, especially when someone is better known by a different name. For example, Caesar's page name is Julius Caesar, not 'Gaius Julius Caesar' even though that was his full name. Hope this addresses your concern. Zupotachyon (talk) 22:27, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

This page loaded after looking for 'Maria Sklodowska', so the argument that people will be looking for Maria Curie is very weak. Let's make it the other way around - let's make the page searchable as Maria Curie if this is was people know her by, but the title should read Maria Sklodowska-Curie, because that was her name. Just like Lamborghini LM002 is the title of the page because it's an official type and name of the car but the page can be found by typing 'Rambo Lambo'. Please change the title of the page to what her name was and not what some people mistakenly know her as. I won't say what president Trump is known in certain regions as, but I still would not recommend putting it as a title of the article about him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.5.149.191 (talk) 18:22, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Am I the only one this happened to? The red completely covered the article, and it was very clearly the swastika flag. Was this a site wide thing? Was this something that only happened to me?

Congress Poland or Vistula Land

My understanding is that Russia has revoked most existence of Congress Poland at the begin of 1867 (march 1867 articles indicate that the 3rd council of state of Poland was revoked, see article on the council in polish lang). But she is born in November 1867. So legally speaking it was Russia at that time, and this area at this time was not supposed to be called Congress Poland, but Vistula Land. Sure the name was coined later but it indeed apply already as soon as the revocation is done by the Russian. Sure Marry is polish of culture, but not legaly speaking at the time because Russia has ruled otherwise. The article should reflect her polish culture and ancestors bit also reflect the reality of the situation at the time she was born and her actual nationality she had. 2A01:CB19:67B:C800:8812:7A22:99EB:A104 (talk) 23:31, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Maria Skłodowska-Curie is the name of this person, how she noted in her diaries as wanted to be known because of being Polish and proud of HER OWN and not her husband’s achievements, and reducing it to Curie is anti-feminist and attributes her person further to France, which she purposely wanted to avoid as written by her in her well maintained diaries. She went against tradition in her times, keeping her maiden name. Referring to her by the surname she wanted would be the minimum respect Wikipedia can give her. 2A02:C7F:F67A:6D00:901D:5CE7:F657:F82C (talk) 20:25, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Surname

Why on earth is she referred to as only Marie Curie? The article clearly states at a later point “ While a French citizen, Marie Skłodowska Curie, who used both surnames,[8][9] never lost her sense of Polish identity.” This should be reflected in the title of the article in all languages. 5.173.9.166 (talk) 23:50, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure this person's de jure name was not at any point 'Marie Skłodowska-Curie'. The retaining of both names was not even invented at the time. If you have evidence, that Marie Curie in any point used herself the form "Marie Skłodowska-Curie" please provide the evidence (note that in this form she would not have used her Polish first name). The current formatting is ridiculous and example of historical negationism. Wikipedia should stick to the official names, and not to alternate invented names made up by feminists.

If you search 'Marie Curie autograph' in google the most cases are clearly spelled 'M. Curie' with only one reference (in wikipedia/commons) with this form from a letter by a claimed family member with no objective evidence that the signature even is even legit (and the picture quality/conrast in this clearly in this picture is too high to not be unmodified original so nothing proves it against being a fake) Objective214390 (talk) 17:13, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

I agree, the fact the title of the page is Marie Curie is historical negationism. Here is Maria Skłodowska Curie’s thesis paper from 1903, as you can clearly see, her surname is spelled Sklodowska Curie, which is to be expected when a French typewriter does not have the letter “ł”. Link: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=6135943

Furthermore, in her Nobel Prize from Chemistry the name provided is Marie Sklodowska Curie, again the omittance of “ł” is due to it not existing in other languages. Link: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=6184910

The fact that her name is “maiden name” - “husbands name” is a direct connection to the Polish naming tradition concerning dual surnames. Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_names#:~:text=However%2C%20a%20married%20woman%20usually,barrelled%20name%20(nazwisko%20z%C5%82o%C5%BCone).

Additionally, if anything, her name being signed as M. Curie is the minority when you do a google search of “Maria Skłodowska podpis” or “Marie Skłodowska Curie signature”.

Inaccurate statement in the section on his death and some more reliable references.

Innaccurate statement (actually false):

"Because of their levels of radioactive contamination, her papers from the 1890s are considered too dangerous to handle. Even her cookbooks are highly radioactive."

Alternative wording with more reliable references:

"Although it has been publicized that their laboratory notebooks are highly radioactive and very dangerous to handle [1] , the fact is that the effective external dose in their vicinity is 0.1 µSv/hr, which would lead to an annual hand dose of less than 35 µSv even with frequent consultation of the journals [2] As for the possible dose from ingestion of Ra-226 , an assessment commissioned by the Wellcome Trust in 2014 found contamination levels of 1.6 µCi of Ra-226 on the journal covers and about twice that on the rest [3] According to U.S.NRC, one can ingest up to 2 µCi annually and inhale up to 0.6 µCi without exceeding the legal limit.[4]"

Death: adding interesting information about the radioctivity of the remains

She was buried next to her late husband in the cemetery of Sceaux, a few kilometers south of Paris. Sixty years later, in 1995, particularly well-preserved remains with a still recognizable face [1] were transferred, along with Pierre's, to the Panthéon in Paris.[2]

At this honorary transfer in 1995, the French radiation protection agency estimated that Pierre's body emitted higher doses of radiation than Marie's, about 0.24 µSv/hr with an estimated upper limit of radium accumulation equivalent to about 1.6 µCi [3], ruling out the absence of radiological risk to workers, the public and the environment.[1]

Hyperlinks that need fixing

The hyperlink for her brother, possibly in other places, at the beginning of the early life section need fixing. 1: it for some reason redirected me right back to this article, and the same place on my phone. When you try the hyperlink directly on her brothers name bring you to a blank article that wants you to fill it out. The footnote next to it brings you to her grandfather’s page and then you would need to click the link at the top. 2: her brother’s actual article is in polish and would need to be translated. I would try to do any of this, but I don't know polish and am not confident enough in my skills to edit hyperlink. If someone else could do it, that would be great!

Wrong DOB for Pierre

This has been mentioned numerous times (see the archives). The date indicated refers to the date Marie and Pierre were married, not when Pierre was born. Mindmatrix 13:25, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Title of the page is incorrect. Change it to Maria Skłodowska-Curie.

Title of the page is incorrect, it omits full legal name of the Maria and her origin which is harmful even more considering her active effort to be remembered as Polish. 2A02:A316:6140:C880:4B06:E549:9BC0:A6F1 (talk) 08:49, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Title of Wikipedia's "Marie Curie" article

The subject of this Wikipedia article appears in the standard Polish biographical dictionary, published in Polish in Poland, as follows:

Tadeusz Estreicher, "Curie, Maria ze Skłodowskich" ["Curie, Maria, née Skłodowska"], Polski słownik biograficzny, vol. 4, 1938. p. 111. Nihil novi (talk) 22:46, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Your point being? Dimadick (talk) 21:09, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Possibly in order to include her biography in the alphabetically earliest possible volume of Polski słownik biograficzny – or because Estreicher considered "Maria [Marie] Curie" to be a suitable and proper name – he listed her under that version, which is also how she is commonly known in English. He did not title the article – as he might have done – "Maria Skłodowska Curie".

Change Marie Curie to Marie Skłodowska-Curie in the title. A little bit of research will show she fought for her full name to be used, and didn’t approve of using only the last part of her name.

Marie Curie (1867–1934) was a Polish and naturalised-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. Born in Warsaw, she studied in Poland until she was 24, when she moved to Paris to earn her higher degrees. In 1895, she married French physicist Pierre Curie, and in 1903 she shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Pierre and physicist Henri Becquerel for their pioneering work developing the theory of "radioactivity" – a term she coined. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. She won a second Nobel Prize in 1911, the first person to do so, for her discovery of the elements polonium and radium. Under her direction, the world's first studies were conducted into the treatment of neoplasms by the use of radioactive isotopes. During World War I, she developed mobile radiography units to provide X-ray services to field hospitals. She founded the Curie Institute in Paris in 1920, and the Curie Institute in Warsaw in 1932. This photograph of Curie was taken in around 1920 by French photographer Henri Manuel.
