Why can't her nationality/ethnicity be mentioned in the article? I'm fine with stating it was "German-Polish". Where is the policy guideline which prohibits this?radek (talk) 18:24, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do I need to point you to a wiki policy that forbids making false claims? You seem to take certain liberties when fighting for the glory of your country. -- Matthead Discuß 02:28, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

False claim by Radeksz

Radeksz added a ref claiming Elżbieta Heweliusz is used in the book "Chronology of women's history" [1]. As of today, Google Books proves this be false, as Heweliusz is not found in it, nor is Elżbieta (only Elzbieta, for somebody else). In fact, the book calls her Elisabetha Hevelius on p. 81 and in the index on p. 441. Also, the city is called Danzig only.-- Matthead Discuß 02:24, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Class Review

I would like to say that you have done some good edits, but I have a few things that might make it even better! First, I think that in the first section you could change the last sentence to something like, “Danzig is a largely German speaking part of Poland in which their daughter Elisabetha was born,” because it sounds a bit odd reading it as it is. Second, I would like to see a biography box for Elisabeth. You can find out how to make it at this url- https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Template:Infobox_person. Third, the section on Latin is a bit odd, as it is right now it seems a bit odd to have its own section, unless you add more to it. --Apollo721 (talk) 22:05, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"The mother of moon charts" ?

In the intro sentence, we are been told that Elisabeth Hevelius had been called "the mother of moon charts". Whoever called her thus (citation needed, by the way) has a very dubious claim. I have read a fair share of articles about her, and nowhere it is hinted that she drew a single moon chart. If by chance the quote is from the dramatized novel about her (The Star Huntress, which I have not read), it is not a reliable source for an encyclopedia. The "mother of moon charts" title would much better fit her contemporary Maria Clara Eimmart. Has someone mixed them up? I recommend the deletion of that part of the intro. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikipetzi (talk • contribs) 22:34, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In "The Star Huntress" Elisabeth actually drew a huge moon chart, but she didn´t published it and it burned in the fire 1679. Maybe she actually drew one, we will never know... 2A02:8389:2206:8D00:3163:4B46:7B55:6A23 (talk) 20:31, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
