Date of birth

edit

According to Bonnetain (1887) Au Tonkin, [1], [2] and Fr:Oscar_de_Négrier, de Négrier was born on 2 October 1839, not in 1842.--André de StCoeur (talk) 07:41, 29 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Name

edit

He his generally called "Oscar de Négrier" (or "François Oscar de Négrier"), not "François de Négrier" to avoid confusion with François-Marie-Casimir Négrier, often called "François Négrier". The Belfort street called from is name is "rue Général Oscar de Négrier". In my view, the name of the article should be changed into "Oscar de Négrier", like the French Wikipedia page (or into "François Oscar de Négrier"). --André de StCoeur (talk) 08:14, 29 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Death

edit

The French page on fr:Oscar de Négrier says that he died aboard the ship "Kong Harold" near the Norwegian coast on 22 August 1913. The [|Larousse] just says that he died on the Norwegian coast in 1913. It seems to me that the name of the ship is mispelled and that it was in fact the "Kong Harald" (1890-1951). Who knows about the name of the ship? Who knows why he died ? a vengeance of Liu Yongfu? because on an overdose of chả giò? in the arms of Marguerite Steinheil? --André de StCoeur (talk) 11:38, 7 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Which figure is Millot? The location of Négrier is unclear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.167.88.251 (talk) 03:57, 4 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
