Talk:Antoine-Augustin Parmentier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to the monument in the Paris metro system, he was born on the 12th of August, 1737 - not the 17th. Anyone know the source of the 17th? Odoketa 23:03, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

The Métro date's got to be the correct one. I'll fix it. --Wetman 03:02, 14 November 2005 (UTC)


Um, the Paris Commune was in 1871, not 1895. I'm not a historian, but I remember my European history class from high school pretty well. As a secondary support here, I am reading Enid Starkie's biography of Arthur Rimbaud at the moment, and she (as well as Rimbaud's own poetry) point to the Commune as taking place while he was still a poet, a period which ended by about 1885 or so, long before 1895.Tropbavard 05:17, 19 January 2006 (UTC)


It is 1795, not 1895, where the first Paris Commune took place. Its correct in the article. I plan to translate the article into German. Plehn 12:10, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
