Name[edit]

I'm interested in the reasoning for the article being named for Oelrich. She lived the later part of her life as Michael Strange and was buried as Strange. At the time of death her obits were headlined with Strange. In terms of consistency, Eric Blair's wiki is under George Orwell. Has there ever been a consensus vote on which name to use for this article? 24.249.78.115 (talk) 22:38, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this. She chose to be Michael Strange and lived under that name most of her life up to her death. The article should be renamed. How do we up this question to admin? Thmazing (talk) 01:21, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction[edit]

The article says she was born in New York City, but the infobox says she was born in Newport, Rhode Island. Which is true? Blaylockjam10 (talk) 22:57, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected. She was born in Newport. Miffedmess (talk) 16:07, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 6 March 2017[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. (non-admin closure) TonyBallioni (talk) 01:57, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Blanche Oelrichs → Michael Strange – As discussed above: This was the name she chose to live under. Other artists in similar cases (eg George Orwell) have their wishes so respected by Wp. Thmazing (talk) 01:37, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As further evidence, consider the following:

@Thmazing:, I've completed the move, but am unsure what name should be bolded in the article. Pinging you so you know it needs to be looked at, and the article further cleaned up to be consistent. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:04, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pregnancy timing[edit]

Small quibble: In the Life and Career section, it describes Strange as being several months pregnant with her husband's child when marrying in August 1920, then giving birth to that child in March 1921. I'm not sure that "several months" is possible at that point; at best, she was 1-2 months along when they married. Can someone confirm the timeline? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.76.14.81 (talk) 19:01, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
