Talk:Émile Pouget

Note on the 1881 London Congress

A heads up for future editors, several of Pouget's biographies mention that he was a participant of the 1881 London Social Revolutionary Congress. When writing the article, I initially included this piece of info, but it seems it's actually a common mistake first made by Jean Maitron according to Pouget's Maitron article.

Note on Pouget's partner (or first wife) Marie

Another heads up for future editors, namely according to the source (Bantman 2009), Pouget was accompanied to London in 1894 by his partner Marie. However, you'll find that his partner at the time was in fact Stéphanie Boiteux, and not a woman named Marie.

Now, according to this article by Marianne Enckell, it seems her birth name was in fact Marie Boisteux, so it refers to the same person. I left the name Marie seeing as that's how she was mentioned in the source, but note she must have later changed her name to Stéphanie, as well as the spelling of her last name.

"Peinard" or "peinard"?

It bounces back and forth; is there a reason for this? (I wasn't able to discern one.) --JBL (talk) 22:10, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Ah, this is just an inconsistency resulting from the differing uses of title case between French and English - the French style would be the lowercase, whereas we capitalize most words in titles in English. They should probably all be capitalized here. -- asilvering (talk) 22:32, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Cool, thanks -- I'll make that change. --JBL (talk) 00:19, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
