In this article (and its version in French), the birth date of Auguste Bonheur is indicated as 18 March 1824. According to Wikimedia Commons, his birth date is 24 November 1824. And according to Rehs Galleries, it is 3 November 1924. Coldcreation (talk) 13:17, 24 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

According to Centre Historique des Archives Nationale Auguste Bonheur was born 3 November 1824. Until a more reliable source manifests itself, I will go ahead and correct both this article and the French version. Coldcreation (talk) 13:35, 24 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
