Add Atheism info box to all atheism related talk pages (use {{WikiProject Atheism}} or see info box)
Ensure atheism-related articles are members of Atheism by checking whether [[Category:Atheism]] has been added to atheism-related articles – and, where it hasn't, adding it.
Try to expand stubs. Ideas and theories about life, however, are prone to generating neologisms, so some stubs may be suitable for deletion (see deletion process).
State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.
I think it should be Marie Skłodowska-Curie. This choice would satisfy everyone, without omitting an important part of her identity, one that some people are obsessed to hide under many excuses (hard to pronounce, not necessary, was french etc.) Awhileo (talk) 13:26, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
she was Polish, don’t just type her birth last name, when she married Pierre Curie she insisted on being called Maria SKŁODOWSKA-Curie, please fix it or i’ll do it myself Nikolairaskolnikov (talk) 12:24, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, this has also been discussed repeatedly, and would require a consensus developed here AS WELL AS reliable sources. PianoDan (talk) 18:18, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then cite sources for why she should be called Marie Curie. Marie Curie is clearly not the consensus option for her name. Maria Skłodowska-Curie is at least not hiding her identity and nationality. Essasitopapopito (talk) 12:03, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Marie Curie (1867–1934) was a Polish and naturalised-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. Born in Warsaw, she studied in Poland until she was 24, when she moved to Paris to earn her higher degrees. In 1895, she married French physicist Pierre Curie, and in 1903 she shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Pierre and physicist Henri Becquerel for their pioneering work developing the theory of "radioactivity" – a term she coined. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. She won a second Nobel Prize in 1911, the first person to do so, for her discovery of the elements polonium and radium. Under her direction, the world's first studies were conducted into the treatment of neoplasms by the use of radioactive isotopes. During World War I, she developed mobile radiography units to provide X-ray services to field hospitals. She founded the Curie Institute in Paris in 1920, and the Curie Institute in Warsaw in 1932. This photograph of Curie was taken in around 1920 by French photographer Henri Manuel.
Please add her surename in the name of the article, because right now you're spreading misinformation. Her first name is as valuable as her second one.
Dont say "know as Marie Curie" she is must and will be know as Marie Skłodowska-Curie, thats her name. But when you dont put her full name into the title, you make her know in her husbands name, not her. Change that. Chloreenek (talk) 19:08, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"must and will be known as" are not our business - Wikipedia is not an attempt to shape the way things are discussed or to predict the future. We reflect how things are discussed in reliable sources: see WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. I agree with you that it would be better if she wasn't associated with her husband's name, but that's not the test here.
As for "is...known as", I just don't know that that's true. It seems that the vast majority of sources call her Marie Curie, and that this is how she is discussed in media and everyday conversation most of the time. If you want to see the article changed, you will need to make a case that she is more often referred to as "Marie Skłodowska-Curie" than as "Marie Curie" in reliable sources. AntiDionysius (talk) 19:18, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
With all respect but even Sklodowska Curie used sign 'Maria Sklodowska Curie' not 'Maria Curie' and many times she says that she's polish scientist. This is really disrespectful for the one of the greatest womans in history of science 92.31.69.227 (talk) 10:11, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Again, I agree with you that it would be better to refer to her that way. But Wikipedia does not write what I think would be best, Wikipedia writes what most reliable sources say. AntiDionysius (talk) 11:51, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
