[edit] Proposed move
The French Academy of Sciences lists his name as "Clairaut (Alexis-Claude)". At MacTutor the same spelling is used. This page was created with the alternated spelling, presumably based on the EB 1911 entry; yet even in that celebrated encyclopedia the "Clairaut" spelling is common. A web search for 'Alexis Clairault' returns a few hundred hits; a search for 'Alexis Clairaut' returns tens of thousands.
Therefore, I propose this article should be moved to "Alexis Clairaut".
Do we need a formal move tag and extended discussion, or — without objection — can we just make it happen? --KSmrqT 11:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
