Talk:Henri, Count of Paris (1908–1999)

message: I think when it comes to categories his last name must be capitalised otherwise it doesn't list him under the 'D' it lists him under the 'd' list, which it ranks after the letter Z. Thus, in order for him to be recognised in alphabetical order, it must be 'D', not 'd'.

replies: text: If he's listed under either "D" or "d", he's listed wrong. "Henri d'Orléans" is alphabetized under "O". Seems like something which requires a technical solution. - Nunh-huh 07:10, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: In the interim until such a solution is met should efforts be made to compensate for the system's shortcoming? i.e. when it comes to how he is categorised putting his name as "Orléans, Henry, Comte de Paris" instead of "d'Orléans, Henry, Comte de Paris"? - Greaser 10:21, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it's still quite wrong<g> but it may be the best we can do! I'm a little surprised that a multi-lingual framework like Mediawiki has such rudimentary sorting, but it's probably not wise to wait until it's fixed.... - Nunh-huh 00:29, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: The article on Legitimists says that he lost support among legitimists due to his "political leftism."  If anyone knows anything more about that, it would be a valuable addition to the article. Kevin Nelson 08:48, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The New York Times article announcing the birth of his daughter, before he was the pretender, has him as Count of Paris so it was probably his title all along. Seven Letters 20:23, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Hi there. I know generally the best thing for editors to do is to fix issues rather than just flagging/noting them and then moving along and leaving them for someone else to fix, but I'm very far from an expert on this area and don't have time in the foreseeable future to do all the research required to get myself up to speed. As such, I'm just going to point something out here, and hopefully someone else can resolve it, if it needs resolving.
In this article, it says "As historian Hal Vaughan notes in his book FDR's 12 Apostles (Guilford, CT.: Lyons Press, 2006), 224 & 296 n 489, in mid-November 1942, Henri d'Astier de la Vigerie, a Vichy intelligence official serving under Admiral Darlan (who had just signed an armistice with American and British forces that allowed Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of North Africa), attempted to promote a royalist coup, and had colleagues Abbe' Cordier and Master-Sergeant Sabatier (a French instructor at an OSS-SOE camp in Algiers) secretly bring Henri, Comte de Paris from Morocco to d'Astier's apartment in Algiers. Both Darlan and U.S. General Eisenhower nixed the idea, however."
I was trying to edit that just to make it more readable and understandable, rather than having a rather long and convoluted sentence, when I discovered there was a Wikipedia article for Henri d'Astier de la Vigerie. Based on what that article says, it seems that this paragraph is misrepresenting the story. There it says d'Artier was a member of the Resistance, and "d'Astier and the local Resistance infiltrated the Vichy infrastruction in North Africa" – so not really what's conveyed by just saying he was "a Vichy intelligence official". Furthermore, the article doesn't mention anything about d'Astier trying to promote a royalist coup and Darlan nixing this idea, which doesn't at all mean that that didn't happen, but it would seem to be a big omission, especially given that later d'Astier was involved in kidnapping/arresting Darlan.
But all I'm going on here is an apparent inconsistency between two Wikipedia articles, and this seems like it might be one of those cases where there's not so much an inaccuracy as a slightly misleading phrasing or an omission of important information. So that's hard to correct, especially for someone (like me) who lacks general knowledge on the surrounding events. So if some other editor who knows more about this stuff sees this, could you look into what actually happened in these events and edit this article, and maybe the d'Astier one too, so that the reality is more clearly and accurately reflected? Thanks. BreakfastJr (talk) 13:16, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
