Talk:Léon Gambetta

message: The introductory paragraph talks of Gambetta's left eye as missing, yet all the illustrations show his left eye and hide his right eye.  Perhaps someone with a better knowledge of French should check.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.149.70.113 (talk) 15:00, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Place of death 

message: Have a look at this:
:::Gambetta's stance has been explained by reference to his status as a republican lawyer, who fought from the bar instead of the barricade[2] and also to his father having been a grocer in Marseille. As a small-scale producer during the decades of the Second Industrial Revolution in France, Joseph Gambetta had chain groceries taking business away from his establishment. This added a measure of resentment to the "petit bourgeois" identity. This resentment was not only directed at bourgeois industrial capitalism, but also at the worker, who was now proclaimed as the backbone of the French economy, stripping the title from the small, independent shopkeeper.[3] This resentment may have been passed down from father to son, and manifested itself in an unwillingness to support the lower-class Communards usurpation of what rightfully belonged to the "petit bourgeoisie."
To me it seems heavily slanted. Bazuz (talk) 22:34, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

The parentheses here do not make any sense to me. I haven't removed them only because my not understanding their use does not necessarily make them incorrect.<BR><B>☺</B> Dick Kimball (talk) 12:50, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

message: The article claims claims that the gun accident was not the cause of his death and also that it was the cause of his death.
You can't have it both ways.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.119.204.117 (talk) 01:58, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

message: While in San Sebastián, Gambetta walked the beaches daily, the warm sea winds of early spring doing little to refresh his mind.
