Talk:Dom Pérignon (monk)

message: This one seems like a borderline B, leaning more towards start. Extra opinions would be helpful. The two glaring areas are the weak lead and the tiny biography section for an article that is, essentially a biography. Truth be told, there is not much biographical information about the Dom but maybe some of the influence section can be merged in while still maintaining a separate section. While we would want to avoid a trivia section, having a prose paragraph about the Dom's influence in popular culture should have a place in the article. AgneCheese/Wine 23:08, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Some New Bibliography Ideas

message: We show 14 September, as do some other sources.  But some of the other Wikipedias, notably the French, have him dying on 24 September.  
This 10-day discrepancy cannot be explained by the fact that not all countries were then using the Gregorian calendar, because the gap between it and the Julian was by then 11 days.  (And even if that were the explanation, he died in France, which was using the Gregorian, so the Julian should not have come into it.) 
So, can we get something authoritative to confirm which of the two dates is correct?  --  Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 23:45, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: His gravestone seems to suggest 14 September (...PER ANNOS QUADRAGINTA SEPTEM ...), but my Latin is very rusty so that may be a red herring.  --  Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 23:52, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  (sheepishly) As indeed it is: Quadraginta septem means "forty seven", not "14 September".  But I wonder if this had anything to do with the cause of the discrepancy ???  --  Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 23:55, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
