What's with the picture of Drouais?64.12.116.197 02:45, 31 December 2005 (UTC)Lestrade
- Heh, took me a moment to figure out - it's a portrait of Buffon by Drouais. One of our French-speaking editors slipped in the confusing de when changing to the commons pic. 14:22, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Wood Tests
I find this paragraph not very illuminating. What was the problem Buffon set out to solve by his laborious tests? Why is this problem so interesting while learning about Buffon?--Lupercus 20:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Disambiguation
I think there needs to be a disambiguation with the name `Buffon' I've never heard of this French guym but I sure know who the World Cup Winning GoalKeeper is - and I would expect so would most other people who search for Buffon and get directed here. Can someone do this? jkm 02:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
There's a link on top. I think that's enough. The Comte de Buffon's quite a big deal. Hornplease 21:01, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- I think that in ten years everybody will have forgotten about an Italian goalkeeper, we must think long term. Hektor 08:44, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Not really, do any search on a search engine with 'Buffon' and theres only references to the goal keeper. I think most people would be looking for the keeper not this old fool.
- Goal keeper vs. scientist, the choice is easy. Hektor 20:48, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What was his job?
Was he keeper of the royal garden for the rest of his life? The biography seems to stop there. AxelBoldt 04:44, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
