[edit] Name of Inventor

Was his name Godefoy or Godefroy? "alexandre godefoy" 558 Google hits, while "alexandre godefroy" gets only 163, but I'm reluctant to change the page based just on that. Does anyone actually know what his name was? -- Zsero (talk) 04:58, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, nobody seems to have noticed this question, so I'm going to be bold and change it, and hope someone with actual information notices. If you know for a fact that the name is Godefoy, please comment here to confirm. If you know for a fact that it's Godefroy, please revert my edit. Either way, if you have a Reliable Source for the name please add it. -- Zsero (talk) 02:05, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

In both the spanish and italian version they say that it was invented in wisconsin... yet in the english version it states that it was invented in frace... which is right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.9.234.3 (talk) 23:05, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

The info in the Spanish and Italian WP is definitely wrong. Racine, Wisconsin proudly states that malted milk and the garbage disposal were invented there; we can be sure that if the blowdryer had been invented there someone would have put it on the Racine page! In addition, the German WP has an example from 1908, so it can't have been invented in 1920. -- Zsero (talk) 00:38, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
