Copy editing edit

I have done extensive copy editing to improve the style in English of the sentences and corrected misspellings. As in other biographies, have generally used the surnames for the chief figures, both Reich and men she was associated with. Parkwells (talk) 14:34, 13 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Sources edit

It's my understanding that WP does not consider Findagrave a RS - reliable source, so I recommend against using it in this article. Parkwells (talk) 22:32, 13 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Expulsion edit

The article states that Reich was expelled after the eighth grade. That is impossible, because gymnasiums in early 20th century Tsarist Russia only had eight grades. What really happened, according to [1] and [2], is that she was arrested for political activities while in the eighth grade and then failed to obtain a "certificate of political trustworthiness", which prevented her from enrolling in a university. Please fix. --Itinerant1 (talk) 22:48, 20 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
