Talk:Giovanni Poleni

Who succeeded whom?
In the page on Nicolaus II Bernoulli it says the latter succeeded Poleni in 1719 at Padua. In this page it says Poleni succeeded Bernoulli. Which is it? Anyone know? --Matt Westwood 22:06, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Other problems
If we are to believe Italian Wikipedia, Poleni dealt with St. Peter's dome in 1743, not 1748. Also, he became a member of Berlin Academy of Sciences (on behalf of Leibniz) in 1715, hence "in 1739 the French Academy of Sciences made him a member and later the societies of Berlin and St. Petersburg did the same" is not entirely correct. --Fatio de Duillier (talk) 18:40, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
