Danjon / sources relating to Strasbourg biographical info
(Exchange of messages copied from user talk pages) [From Terry0051 to RCS:] I see that you added to the stub biography of Danjon the information "Director of the Observatory of Strasbourg from 1930 to 1945". An interesting addition, but I have a question about the content of your source. I can see that your source supports "from 1930", but from where do you get "to 1945"? The encyclopedia article indicates that Danjon encountered difficulties with the wartime German authorities, and it does not appear to be made clear that he remained in post e.g. during the period 1942-45. Unless there is clear positive averment of Danjon's continuance in post to 1945, I suggest that the article text might better be restricted to say just "from 1930". With good wishes.

 * Hi, this is clear enough: Lorsque la Seconde Guerre mondiale est déclarée, Strasbourg se replie à Clermont-Ferrand. En août 1941, Danjon suit le mouvement avec presque tout le personnel de l´observatoire, laissant sur place une équipe très réduite. L´observatoire dispose alors de deux directeurs : Danjon à Clermont-Ferrand et Johannes Hellerich à Strasbourg. Pendant la guerre, les possibilités de travail sont pourtant limitées. Until 1945 is therefore correct. Regards, --RCS (talk) 10:17, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your replies here and on my talk page. My previous remark was directed to the sources available from the article page. I agree that the new sources you have cited/linked on your talk page and on mine make the matter clear.  So I'm copying this exchange to the article's talk page, where it will be easily visible and can be incorporated when somebody has a moment. Regards, Terry0051 (talk) 18:31, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * [From RCS to Terry0051:] (re: University Strasbourg) Hello Terry, apparently you don't know that the regular University of Strasbourg was moved to Clermont-Ferrand after the German invasion in 1940. The Germans then set up the Reichsuniversität Straßburg as a replacement. This source clearly says that Danjon remained at his post in the Clermont-Ferrand exile until the end of the war (Strasbourg was liberated on November 23, 1944, but some parts of Alsace were liberated only in February 1945, after the battle of the Colmar Pocket).
