There is a reference to the "Gertrude Stein Democratic Club" at Muriel Bowser. Spicemix (talk) 11:07, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Photo of alleged "childhood home of Gertrude Stein"

There is no known evidence in land records, utility records, etc. that the building pictured is the building where Gertrude Stein was born. Professional title examiners have searched County land records, as have persons in the business of validating such historical data. No known documents have been produced that validate that Gertrude Stein was born in the building in the photo. The plaque on the wall of the building is an artifact, attached approximately 70 years or more after Stein's birth date, at a time when the neighborhood was attempting renovation, having been virtually abandoned by its original owners. If someone can document the validity of the claim that Stein was born in the building in the photo, the evidence should be produced. Sapienttwo (talk) 17:40, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stop vandalizing the article It's referenced...Modernist (talk) 17:51, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The edits aren't vandalism. Please assume good faith. PhilKnight (talk) 17:56, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is meant by "it's referenced'? Sapienttwo (talk) 11:43, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Check this out: Help:Referencing for beginners...Modernist (talk) 16:49, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that.

The linked material explains "reference" but not the application to "it's".

Specifically, how is the photo of a building alleged to be where GS was born "referenced" to verify that claim? Sapienttwo (talk) 17:41, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The photo that you deleted was referenced by this link: Gertrude Stein house...Modernist (talk) 17:58, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Thank you for the courtesy in supplying link to the Allegheny City Society.
  
  Was that link embedded in the deleted caption under the photo, or in footnotes, or elsewhere? Sapienttwo (talk) 23:58, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it was linked as a reference to the photo. That's why I returned the photo to the article...Modernist (talk) 00:21, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks another time.

Do you mind showing me where in the text of the Wikipedia article the link was embedded? Sapienttwo (talk) 00:32, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I'm gonna put the photo back and the reference is at the end of the caption...Modernist (talk) 02:22, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Click on the number 10 at the caption end; that goes to the link...Modernist (talk) 02:25, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Sapienttwo (talk) 06:50, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stein's siblings

I found an article which stated that Stein actually had seven siblings, not five, but two died in infancy. I think this would be worth mentioning. My only source is this article, but it's from The Metropolitan Museum of Art so I would reckon it is reliable. Here's the article: https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2012/steins-collect/gallery-one. Okooluje (talk) 20:20, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
