Ignace Poretsky → Ignace Reiss – I am the initial author of this article. While Ignace (or Ignatz) Poretsky is the most likely birth name of this spy, he became best known as "Ignace Reiss"--when he resurfaced at the time of his assassination. "Ignace Reiss" already redirects to "Ignace Poretsky": I recommend switching them so "Ignace Reiss" is main article and "Ignace Poretsky" the redirect -- this as a simple fix. Thank you. Aboudaqn (talk) 02:04, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Clearly the most common name. A google books search shows 2240 hits for "Ignace Reiss", compared to only 129 for "Ignace Poretsky". Jenks24 (talk) 12:16, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support, common name per cited sources and Google.--Kotniski (talk) 06:56, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Comments[edit]

There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.

The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.

Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 05:19, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proper summary[edit]

[1] - I did read the source [2], and therefore summarized properly what it say. One should actually read whole page, rather than cite something out of context. Author of the book (Volodarsky) simply tells that French investigation has established that the assassination was conducted by Soviet agents, nothing else. And that is exactly my version. What else info would you like to include? My very best wishes (talk) 02:32, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

First, I wrote this original, long entry. Second, I have, read, and reviewed the Volodarsky book. Third, I'm tired of bickering with fly-by editors without expertise in the subject matter -- or, because you are or speak Russian, do our areas of subject matter expertise extend beyond molecular biophysics and bioinformatics and into Soviet espionage?... Regardless, while you have dumbed down the nuance I created, you can keep it. Uncle! - Aboudaqn (talk) 21:09, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Self-reverted. I think I understand what "nuance" with regard to French services you mean, but this probably will be lost by most readers.My very best wishes (talk) 20:57, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are the first fellow Wikipedian who has been gracious to me like this in ages; thank you. - Aboudaqn (talk) 01:05, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
