Talk:Louis Le Prince

message: did some work. He clearly states Le Prince´s birth as of 1841, and his second name was Aimé, not Aimée. Therefore I made some minor adjustments to the text. --Filmtechniker, 80.219.85.159 16:28, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

message: i've quickly searched the official US patent organisation site to find Le Prince's 1888 US patent but was not successful, if anyone is used with patents search sites, it would be a nice addition to this article. Cliché Online 14:22, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I find Le Prince's story fascinating, but this article confuses me slightly, so I added two clarifyme tags. It first has "Le Prince's elder son Adolphe, who had assisted his father in many of his experiments", but later "According to Alphonse Le Prince who assisted his father at Leeds". Did Louis have two sons and did they both assist their father? Is there a source for who actually appears in the Roundhay Garden Scene film and who actually was called as a witness for the American Mutoscope Company in their litigation with Edison? -84user (talk) 15:13, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've only seen Adolphe in every article or paper I've read about him and/or the litigation his family was involved with. I've replaced Alphonse w/ Adolphe and placed appropriate citations where necessary. Earthsound (talk) 21:48, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

message: "These pictures were soon projected on a screen in Leeds, making it the first motion picture exhibition." This claim strikes me as problematic, especially within the contentious and confusing world of early film history. First of all, it needs a citation. Second, "soon" is hopelessly vague when followed by a claim of "first ever." Third, there are probably multiple competing definitions of "exhibition," so this would need to be defined.Hirschjoshua (talk) 23:31, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Can someone who speaks French add an IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) pronunciation of the name? (Resources linked in the first set of parentheses.)
I would do it myself, but I'm not confident that I know how the name is pronounced. -- Categorically Not (talk) 22:10, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

message: The section on his death/disappearance makes the claim that it's most likely Louis committed suicide b/c of a photo found of a body pulled from the Seine and that he was facing bankruptcy. According to this site I'm posting here though, that's not correct, and the article should not be written making assumptions like that. It says that the man in the photo is too short to have been Louis, and that his finances were actually good. https://www.acmi.net.au/stories-and-ideas/tragedy-louis-le-prince/ 2600:1700:BC01:9B0:544F:E012:2320:EFE4 (talk) 00:59, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you're right and changed the article accordingly. Because of a dead link I couldn't even find out how a picture of a drowned man resembling Le Prince led to the conclusion that he committed suicide. Was that part of the police report? Neither have I yet found reliable arguments for or against heavy debts (doesn't seem unlikely, but are there any reliable sources?). The claim that the drowned body would have been to short also misses a convincing source (what's the basis for the claim in the ACMI source?). At the moment, I don't see any reason to claim that the suicide theory is the most likely one. It's probably just the most recent one and it seems somewhat less far-fetched than some of the other theories, but I agree it's not much more than an assumption as long as no reliable sources are cited.
