Talk:Georges Boisot

Request Edit
Can someone remove the WP:COI tag? It looks like a cleanup has been done to comply with Wikipedia's content policies WP:WTRMT. I never knew this person, but I am interested in his connection to the Vaud Constitution and French name Boisot. Thanks! --Greg Henderson (talk) 17:30, 24 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes check.svg Done. It seems the issues are fixed now. Volteer1 (talk) 13:50, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

COI tag (April 2021)
reinstating COI tag due to trumpery / trivia being inserted by family descendent COI/U directly editing again, such as "daughter of Alexandre Perregaux, architect and sculptor on ivory." Graywalls (talk) 00:26, 21 April 2021 (UTC)


 * In biographies, in particular old one's like this, it's typical to give information about relatives to establish class and lineage which at one time was much more important as it shows where they stood in the social hierarchy which was pretty ridged. I don't see the trumpery/trivia in this paragraph:
 * Georges Boisot is the son of Jean François Louis Boisot, who was a Bishop at Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines and Louise Peter. He was married to Madelaine Perregaux, daughter of Alexandre Perregaux, architect and sculptor on ivory.
 * We learn he was the son of a Bishop which is pretty high up the ladder, but married the daughter of a professional artist which is lower down. You say this is "trumpery" but not really (artists in their day were a step above manual labor); and trivia when indeed it is enlightening as to his place in society. It's the sort of thing you see in thousands of other articles on Wikipedia and elsewhere. It sounds like the complaint isn't really about the content, but who added the content.  --  Green  C  04:58, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

 * This request is to remove an old COI tag. Copying who also asked the question.


 * It has been removed by . I also find the "trumpery/trivia" claim to be without merit. Isaidnoway (talk) 18:44, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
