Links[edit]

I went to the 1st link http://www.htw-dresden.de/nazca it redirects to the main page- could find nothing to do with the subject at hand, someone please sort it :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.220.186.57 (talk) 20:23, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Google Doodle[edit]

She's the subject of today's (May 15th) Google Doodle. --Calton | Talk 16:49, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Photo[edit]

What's the idea of picturing her as a 7 year old child? Why not a picture as an adult? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.61.62.19 (talk) 06:42, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's the only photograph of her available to us. If you can find a public domain alternative, you are welcome to change it. – Joe (talk) 09:55, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It really shouldn't be there at all, even if it's the only free image available. While it may have a place in the body, frankly it's stupid to put it in the infobox or lead: MOS:LEADIMAGE states: Lead images should be natural and appropriate representations of the topic; they should not only illustrate the topic specifically, but also be the type of image used for similar purposes in high-quality reference works, and therefore what our readers will expect to see. Lead images are not required, and not having a lead image may be the best solution if there is no easy representation of the topic. (emphasis added). The 7-year-old girl pictured is not a mathematician, archaeologist, or technical translator, and keeping it in "just because we have it" infantilizes the subject. I have moved the image to the article body. --Animalparty! (talk) 00:55, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality[edit]

Although she lived many years in Peru she always remained a German citizen and never gave it up. At the age of 90 she received the Peruvian nationality in honor for her world-renowned studies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:628:2120:604:6D5D:5D4C:3F4A:F55B (talk) 15:33, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
