(1799-1811 or 1812) only 13 years old?

[edit]

Traditionally, we put the date of birth and death right after a person's name, not the years that they were active as a writer, because in "1799 she published a novel" would be the year she was born. I'll change this to indicate these were the years she was active, but if anyone has her actual dates please share. Cheers! Syssk Tarot (talk) 11:54, 2 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

fl. (best written using the template {{fl.}}) is a standard encyclopedic abbreviation, meaning "we don't know her birth or death date but we do know she was alive in this range of years", and it is routinely used in the lead of biographies in Wikipedia. See MOS:BIRTHDATE. It does the same job as birth and death dates in the lead and SD: distinguishes her instantly from any other Marianne Chambers of distinctly different dates - eg a 13th-century rebel or a 21st-century musician.
