Talk:José Bonaparte

message: This old man is not related to the 19th century French emperors, is he?  Anyone who know what he got his surname from?  Did he take it himself, did one of his parents, or any earlier ancestor?

:The Omni article says he's descended from an Italian sailor, which at least places a relatively recent ancestor on Europe. The name suggests he can can probably trace a lineage to France, but that doesn't mean he's related to the little general. Particuarly since there's only about 5 generations of wiggle room there. | Pat 14:56, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I added the  tag because I can't verify he has a Ph.D., and the Omni article implies he doesn't because it states he lacks formal training. It's not particularly controversial or libelous, so I left it in. | Pat 14:56, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Does a honoris causa count? I found a references that says he got a honorary doctorate degree from the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán in 1974 . --Mariano(t/c) 15:20, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for responding. Yes, honorary degrees are actually real degrees, though they waive the normal requirements. They just don't get as much respect, sometimes (not in Bonaparte's case, obviously). Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)#Academic titles it shouldn't be mentioned in the first sentence. Probably under an "Awards" section, per the default outline at Template:Biography. The article you found also seems to have a lot of information on his education and early life; unfortunately, my Spanish is dismal enough that I'd probably mangle it if I tried to include the information. Could you add it to the article? | Pat 16:33, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I do not know if he has a Pd.D., but I know he was a professor at the university in Cordoba.  And I met him in 1984 when he was doing a lecture for the National Geographic in Los Angeles.  Because in many ways he was a pioneer for palentology in SA, he was one of the leading instructors in the field.  So while he had little formal training, he in turn gave formal training in the field.  And I have been told that he died recently, and am trying to get some confirmation of this before making any kind of entry here.  Mushrom (talk) 14:24, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
