[edit] Requested move

I think this page should be at Jules Maigret. Any comments? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  02:19, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Definitely. Ixanthus 17:27, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Clearly this hasn't been discussed in ages, but I'm going to again suggest that this be moved, for several reasons. One, Maigret's rank changes over the course of the books (he starts out as "inspecteur," then commissaire, divisional commissaire, etc. Secondly, in translations into English and other languages, said rank changes likewise (in the later books, he's usually "Superintendant"). That's a minor consideration, since on the whole I'd tend to agree that the original language should be prioritized, but then the third point: no title is used for similar characters. Roderick Alleyn, who likewise changes ranks, is just that, not "Inspector Roderick Alleyn" or "Chief Inspector Alleyn" and so on. Same goes for Anita Van Buren or even James T. Kirk. -- Aleal (talk) 20:00, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Support the move. The article is about the character over his whole career, not just as this particular rank. Andrewa (talk) 15:37, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Support per comments by Andrewa and Aleal --Lox (t,c) 09:51, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of Novels / List of Stories

  1. Why is Liberty Bar twice in the List of Novels?
  2. There are 29 Stories in the list, but the text talks about a total of 28. Les petits cochons sans queue seems to be an error.
