Same as Natalie Barney, please unite the two pages. 24.201.116.26 01:42, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• I summarily note that it does currently redirect. 02:43, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Um, it is said that lesbianism “was common in the literary and artistic circles of the day.” In what forms, I find myself wondering, did the contact take place? JamesEG 02:43, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Olga Rudge was not a "lifelong" partner to Ezra Pound as mentioned here. Pound was long married to Dorothy Shakespear.

• The relationship between Rudge and Pound has been clarified, she is now his "longtime mistress" rather than "lifelong companion." Porlob 00:38, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

Does anyone know of a different photo of Natalie Barney that can be verified as out of copyright? It seems like a shame for someone so full of joie de vivre to be represented by the only picture I have ever seen in which she looks unhappy. —Celithemis 03:34, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I can truly this exceeds GA requirements as it is a body of information and could lead to a review on such a subject. I knew nothing of her but knew of her contemporaries and after such an intense piece of work, this should be FACed as it is nice to read and to get a whole new look at this woman. If I may, the only thing I might suggest is removing the less than infrequent adjectives that could give a pov feeling to like less than 10 lines. Lincher 02:01, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for passing this as a GA and for your comments. I've gone through and trimmed some adjectives, mostly WP:Peacock-ish terms applied to people who visited the salon. I hope this fixes the POV issues; it definitely makes the article tighter. —Celithemis 09:19, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
