message: For reasons that escape me, this article has been subject to some pretty heavy vandalism. I would recommend that we return to the version that was up March 5th.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.253.100.156 (talk) 00:12, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Neither this page nor the one on lechatelierite mention their connection.  At the very least lechatelierite should mention its namesake, and lechatelierite should probably be put into a "See Also" section on this page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.245.223.207 (talk) 03:37, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Should it be Le Châtelier?  All the chemistry books have it with the diacritical mark above the a, but I would assume the French wikipage would be correct, so I'm confused.Olin 14:18, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was thinking the same thing. The article on his theory, Le Châtelier's Principle is also inconsistent. Can anyone clear this issue up? Zchenyu 23:20, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He signs his name as "Henry Le Chatelier". See http://rsbm.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/royobits/2/6/250.full.pdf. The Royal Society, which I think is very likely to be correct on this, does not use the circumflex (see http://dx.doi.org/10.1098%2Frsbm.1938.0005). Annales des Mines, another reputable source, didn't use circumflex for neither him nor his father, Henry Louis Le Chatelier (http://www.annales.org/archives/x/chatelier.html) (http://www.annales.org/archives/x/lc.html). Interestingly, on the discussion page of the French version of this entry (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion:Henry_Le_Chatelier), an anonymous user wrote "I am the great-great-grandson of Henry Le Chatelier and we have never, in the family, ever written our last name with an accent [sic]." ("Je suis l'arrière-arrière petit fils de Henry Le Chatelier et nous n'avons, dans la famille, jamais écrit notre nom de famille avec un accent.") Since this is unattributed this is does not seem to be as valid as other sources (the IP address that made this change, 198.103.184.76, traces to Ottawa, ON, Canada), however I think from the previous several sources we can already conclude the circumflex shouldn't've been there in the first place. I suggest this page be moved. Ffffafsd 04:50, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

text: There was a discussion on french wiki about this problem. It had been conclued that the good way to write the name was "Henry Le Chatelier". I made the corrections. Rhadamante 23:41, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Very strangely it is Henry which is effectively not the usual way of writing this name in French. His father was name (Henri) Louis Le Chatelier who is in fact known as :fr:Louis Le Chatelier.Romary 12:45, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it looks weird and feels strongly like it should be "Henri", but the fact is that he signed his own name as "Henry". See http://dx.doi.org/10.1098%2Frsbm.1938.0005, second page. (Note: You may possibly have to download the pdf to be able to read it my browser won't load it for some reason, even though it does fine with other pdfs. But the file does clearly show his signature as "Henry".) I've made the appropriate changes to the article for now, but I'm open to further discussion if anyone feels it's warranted. -- edi(talk) 19:56, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

message: Is there a source that states his mother's nationality was italian? The version that introduced this claim also seems to have placed Le Chatelier's birthplace at the French-Italian border. However, the source material at the bottom has his place of birth as Paris. This is rather suspicious, and this article has been vandalized extensively. For example: He attended the "Ecole des Vagines" ? I guess school boys are the same the world over :^).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.152.255.40 (talk) 06:35, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
