* I have no strong opinion between the 2009 and 2013 photos.

I have made some significant edits to trim down the military service section, given its sourcing and claims by others of embellishment by Lee. I am surprised this article received good article status given how much seems wholly sourced by a regurgitation of his autobiography (which may or may not be reliable). There is a significant number of other parts of the article which are also almost exclusively reliant on Lee’s own version of events.

Von Rosen family
I recently corrected a factual error about this relationship. Christopher Lee wasn't engaged to Agnes von Rosen (1924-2001), daughter ofGustaf-Fredrik von Rosen (1895-1956), but to Henriette von Rosen (1933-2016), daugther of Fritz von Rosen ( 1899-1969) https://archive.org/details/lordofmisruleaut0000leec/page/220/mode/ https://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00663301&tree=LEO- The page from the autobiography listed in the reference wasn't even right.--QTHCCAN (talk) 16:27, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Name
"Christopher" sounds mighty priggish. Please tell me his friends and family called him "Chris" 2600:8800:218F:2D00:B8D7:91D0:7A5D:7D76 (talk) 05:49, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
Photo
Since there seems not to be any photos available to use from middle age, as is typically done after a subject is deceased, the photo from 2009 seems to be best in quality, including focus. Please discuss before making changes. 2604:3D09:927F:E900:CED:F2EF:E379:648C (talk) 05:27, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @Milowent
- May I ask you to shed your opinion on the photos from 2009 and 2013. Thank you. 2604:3D09:927F:E900:CBD:A840:D9DD:E770 (talk) 04:39, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Article’s over reliance on Lee’s own autobiography
I have made some significant edits to trim down the military service section, given its sourcing and claims by others of embellishment by Lee. I am surprised this article received good article status given how much seems wholly sourced by a regurgitation of his autobiography (which may or may not be reliable). There is a significant number of other parts of the article which are also almost exclusively reliant on Lee’s own version of events. Feel free to assist with replacing with/adding secondary sources where possible, or alternatively if you disagree feel free to discuss here Cbe46 (talk) 13:56, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
