Miss Moneypenny resembles Vera Atkins in no way shape or form. She is in fact generally believed to have been based on the secretary of Menzies the real-life "C", or on Ian Fleming's own secretary. I have deleted this sentence until some respectable citation can be found for it.
Didn't Vera Atkins continue tracing the missing members of SOE after the war when there was no official interest and SOE had been disbanded? I seem to remember reading that she received a lot of unofficial help from SAS who were also tracing missing people. Quite a number of German war criminals were brought to trial because of her determination. Perhaps someone with more knowledge (or better memory) can add something to the main page. --jmb 21:00, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
The lead says 16 June, as does the infobox, but Early Life says 2 June. I'm assuming someone's tried to do a conversion between the Julian and Gregorian calendars and got it wrong. The gap was 13 days, so 2 June Julian would equate to 15 June Gregorian; or, 16 June Gregorian was derived from 3 June Julian. Either, but not both. Which is correct? -- JackofOz (talk) 01:40, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Vera Atkins desempeñó un papel muy extraño en el SOE. Lo menos que se puede decir de ella es que fue incompetente, aunque es más probable que lo suyo fue la traición. Mandó a la muerte -sabiéndolo- a demasiados agentes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.55.121.2 (talk) 08:40, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
Byck is not mentioned in Sarah Helm's biography of Vera Atkins. Can anyone give a citation for Atkins finding out Byck's fate? Perhaps her fate was already known, in which case the reference to her in the Atkins article should not suggest Atkins did the research. Aslo what evidence is there of how Byck died? The article on Byck gives no citations.Exbrum (talk) 21:18, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
Not sure if this needs to be said, but the majority of this page is not written in an encyclopedic format, and seems to heavily rely on a single source. I will put up a notice warning against this, but an editor should probably come by and check to make sure this isn't plagiarism. ChunyangD (talk) 01:01, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
Just wanted to say thanks to any editors who have provided sources recently to help bring this page up to WP:MOSBIO standards! :D Techhead7890 (talk) 04:18, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
I am wondering about the accuracy of the involvement of Vera Atkins in the escape of the Polish agents who worked on the Enigma code. Wikipedia pages in relation to this event give a different version, for example Marian Rejewski, Cipher Bureau (Poland) I came across it while checkingthe French version but I don't know the procedure here ... --Mellonne (talk) 13:58, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
