Text "intestinal tuberculosis (now called Crohn's disease)"edit
Latest comment: 6 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion
The Wikipedia article on Crohn's disease distinguishes it from intestinal TB. If the Crohn's article is correct, the "(now called ...)" is incorrect. I'm not a medic, so I did a bit of "Googling" to check. A (very) few "hits" do suggest that IT is one form of CD, but the vast majority made a clear distinction between the two. Many discuss differentiating in diagnosis; https://www.karger.com/Article/Pdf/335431 is typical of these. It seems fairly clear that the "(now called ...)" is incorrect, so I have deleted it.

Crohn's disease was not identified until 1932 ([1]), so I think it is fair to say that we simply do not know whether Lili died of intestinal TB or Crohn's disease. I modified the article to reflect this and removed the "disputed" template.

"during her performance she collapsed" is misleading and untenableedit
Latest comment: 3 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion
The idea that she collapsed "during her performance" is a widespread misrepresentation. Lili Boulanger entered the Prix de Rome in 1912 for composition. The composers were not expected to perform or even conduct these compositions, and indeed, such a work could not be performed by any single person. She fell ill during the competition, the final round of which requires that the contestants to be sequestered in a room at the Chateau for 2 weeks (some sources say a month) while they compose a fully orchestrated 30-minute work on a given topic. Sources: Justin Davidson of the New York Magazine in The Lost Canon, Jan 7, 2020 "It’s Time We All Heard the Music of Lili Boulanger" and explained by @Inside the Score "Music's Greatest Loss: Why Listen to Lili Boulanger" who cites Nadia and Lili Boulanger - Caroline Potter, Lili Boulanger - Paul Landormy and Frederick H. Martens and Lili Boulanger - Annegret Fauser.
It seems that during this composition phase, she fell ill and was unable to finish her work. What I find terribly interesting yet difficult to answer is why there was no award given that year. I can only presume that after seeing her partially completed work, the entire competition was halted. Eeosalel (talk) 07:32, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
