I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

message: Jacques Lucien Monod's Mother's maiden name was actually Charlotte MacGregor Todd. Sharlie was a nickname for Charlotte. The actual last name is Todd. She is an important part of my families ancestry. Charlotte was born September 6, 1867 in Milwaukie, Wisconsin. This can be verified by the passport application for Charlotte available at ancestry.com  The passport issue date was August 1, 1887.
My connection to Charlotte is my Great Grandmother who was Charlotte's Aunt. My Great Grandmother's maiden name was Anderson Todd. 
Also, a marriage record for Charlotte MacGregor Todd and Hector Lucien Monod is available at the familysearch.org website. Jacques' Father's name was actually Hector Lucien Monod, and it seems he preferred to go by Lucien. The marriage took place in Paris, France November 5, 1896. To find the actual record for the marriage you can go to familysearch.org, then click on Europe. Scroll down to France, Protestant Church Records, 1612-1906, and click on it. Enter Hector Monod in the search engine. This will bring up 2 marriages for Hector Lucien Monod. Charlotte was his second wife. Click on his name for the marriage with Charlotte. 
This brings up transcribed info for the marriage. To the left is the actual document. Click on it and you can see the actual marriage record. The transcribed record shows Charlotte's Mother's name incorrectly, and it is actually Salene Elmore. Charlotte's Father is correct as Robert MacGregor Todd. 
Charlotte's name has been incorrectly shown on many biographies for Jacques. Again, I feel it important to show the correct name for his Mother.

message: If he says that life in the universe is a result of chance why should we give him credit? If ultimately everything is happening by chance there is no point in praising/criticizing/honoring/dishonoring anybody. He deserves no credit at all. He is just putting forward theories, and these theories have ultimately come by... chance. And still we give this fellow some recognition. In a world which has arisen from chance there should be no honor / dishonor, no recognition, no praise, nothing. Please think about it. People don't think deeply enough to consider whther these thories make some sense or not. -59.95.22.242 (talk) 15:35, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

message: If you want to mention the Lac operon in the introduction, then under WP:MOS you have to explain in the introduction what the Lac operon is, in language that an ordinary non-specialist reader would understand. It's not enough to just link to the WP page on the Lac operon (which would be even more difficult for an ordinary non-specialist reader to understand). 
If you don't like my attempt (which might not have been accurate), please write your own. --Nbauman (talk) 20:23, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Noam Chomsky makes the claim here that Monod was primarily responsible for French biologists being "pre-Darwinian", i.e. not accepting the theory of evolution.

If there is any documentation for this, it would be interesting to include it in this article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.74.14.178 (talk) 15:21, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
