First Name
[edit]Thispage should be renamed from 'Amédée Mouchez' to 'Ernest Mouchez', as I did on Wikipedia (fr). Unfortunately, it is not possible on Wikipedia (en). --ArrakisFrance (talk) 15:14, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
- You are correct.
- The true and correct name of this hydrographer, admiral and astronomer is and always was
- Mouchez, Ernest Amédée Barthélémy.
- He is so named in the Biographical Encyclopaedia of Astronomers ed. Hockey et al (Springer, 2007) [1]
- In the universal library catalogue, WorldCat, his name is as above. [2]
- In the French Amazon online bookstore there are three pages of books by Mouchez. Always he is named Ernest, never Amédée. [3]
- In all versions of Wikipedia, except English Wikipedia, he is given his correct name.
- The mistake seems to have arisen in a 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica article, blindly copied over into early English Wikipedia.
- Since there is no apparent reason why the English-reading public should continue to be misinformed, I propose a change. Ttocserp 13:51, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
