Suggested new entries

I want to add Loreta Janeta Velazquez to this list, but don't how to. See her Wiki page for her notability as American Civil War spy. Valetude (talk) 17:57, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also Pamela Churchill (later Harriman), a hugely successful spy, especially in the first half of World War II, when London was swarming with enemy agents. Valetude (talk) 23:55, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Julia Child, Elsbeth Schragmüller, Elizabeth Thorpe

I must question the inclusion of Julia Child as a spy. "Registering, cataloging and channeling a great volume of highly classified communications" could bring many thousands of obscure female clerical workers into this category. Valetude (talk) 18:24, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto Elsbeth Schragmüller - apparently doing no more than opening and intercepting letters in Belgium, which was occupied by her own side. Valetude (talk) 14:00, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto Amy Elizabeth Thorpe, who cannot be described as anything more than an alleged spy. Sounds like a romantic self-publicist to me. Valetude (talk) 19:05, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
