As a relatively inexperienced editor, I hesitate to remove masses of text, but when I want to learn about Louise de Bettignies, the number of the patent her ancestor filed in 1818 seems superfluous, as does much of the other background historical info. Is it appropriate to pare down this article to focus on the nominal subject? Aatist (talk) 15:10, 20 February 2018 (UTC) Aatist (talk) 15:10, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Arguably the most important section in the article - "Espionage Service" - is completely without citations. Perhaps the original author can add citations? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LittleWalrus (talk • contribs) 03:17, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
