On 1 August 2018, Gerda Taro was linked from Google, a high-traffic website. ( Traffic) All prior and subsequent edits to the article are noted in its revision history. |
The spanish village near where she was killed was "Brunete", not "Brunette". I corrected it. I also added as references the french translation of the german book, and a new french book. Of course, she is also central in books about Capa, like his autobiography, and some other biographies.
Probably the account of Taro's death is not worded correctly. Cf. http://www.elangelcaido.org/comunicacion/028/028gerdataro.html

All information in the article appears to be backed by (at least) one appropriate reference, if not more than one, further supporting the statements made on Taro. Unfortunately, some of the links to other Wikipedia articles link to topics that still don't have their own Wikipedia page. A few dead links are also seen in the references, which do take away some credibility since the information that cite these links can't entirely be trusted. All information in the article is relevant to Gerda Taro, however, it's interesting to note that some of her early history appears to be told through the eyes of Robert Capa. Another interesting point to note is that the Wikipedia article on Robert Capa includes the pop culture reference of Alt-J's song Taro while this article does not. The song touches down roughly on the relationship between the two figures, but isn't entirely accurate. It is, however, still a cultural reference made to the figure.

The Alt-J song Taro was definitely made after Gerda Taro. Why is this not included in the legacy section? 213.122.120.151 ( talk) 21:18, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
The lede currently includes this statement:
I wonder whether the following stronger statement was intended:
Is this stronger statement also true? Or was there an earlier woman photojournalist who covered the front lines of a war, but survived? TypoBoy ( talk) 11:14, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

@ Prairieplant: in regards to this query. I can see only parts of Schaber et al on Google Books but here are the relevant bits:

What is the problem with just using Nazi party and Nazis, as it is the common name? Mztourist ( talk) 03:38, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
Mztourist Both names are correct and both are in the article now. National Socialist German Workers Party, in my imperfect knowledge, is the term used when that party started up. As the article discusses decisions made in the 1930s, why not include both terms? Plus when I hear news programs from Germany but broadcast in English, I hear the term National Socialist used, possibly more than Nazi. Here is the Etymology section of the article on the party, which strengthens my wish to use both names. "Etymology
In his recent change comment, Lopifalko asks whether the City Council of Madrid just decided to give Taro's name to a street or they actually named it. It is a valid question, but the answer is quite long and probably uninteresting for the article.
In May 2017, in application of a national law, the council agreed on a list of 52 streets and squares whose name should be changed because they honoured (mostly) people related with Francoist Spain or the rebellion in the Spanish Civil War, providing alternative names for them. One of these streets was to receive the new name Gerda Taro. But the list was challenged before the courts, which led to a lengthy process before those changes could be applied. A few names were actually removed from the list before, one year later, the street plates could be actually changed, even though the new names were immediately used in some places (e.g. Google Maps displayed the new names, which led to some confusion because the street plates still displayed the old ones). But now Gerda Taro street exists and has its correct street plate.
So, rather than writing all this explanation in the article, I've just added a second reference for the moment when the street plates were actually changed. I could not find any references in English, unfortunately.-- Gorpik ( talk) 10:04, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

I looked in Wikimedia commons, found no images of the steles from Gerda Taro Platz in Stuttgart. There is an image for another sculpture in Stuttgart that says it is at Gerda Taro Platz, but is not the steles installed in 2014, rather a piece photographed in 2013. There are 9 metal steles, each with a letter of her name cut out; it is a good image. A search for "Gerda Taro Platz" comes up with images of this, but I am not sure if we can use them. I think the article would be improved by an image of the sculpture, when her home town decided to honor her, if we can find one. I looked at the article in German Wikipedia de:Gerda Taro, but there was not a photo there either. Well, they have the photo of the other sculpture by Erich Hauser, not the steles. -- Prairieplant ( talk) 22:36, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
