Talk:Jean Talon

I realize that I did the wrong thing when a copyright violation occurred. What I did was I went back to the previous version and copy/pasted. I think this should be listed as a copyvio and the current contents saved as temp. --Timc 20:55, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)


 * I went back and restored the version that was there. I don't think we can copy/paste this to a new article at /temp and use that, since that loses the history of the first ten edits or so.  The only copyvio here is a single entry in the history, which shouldn't really be a problem.  If it is (i.e. someone complains), it can always be manually removed from the history by a developer. --Delirium 21:24, Jun 14, 2004 (UTC)

Iroquois defeat in 1627?
The article says he was born in 1625, and he helped conquer the Iroquois at the age of 2. Can someone fix that year? I've never heard of a 2-year-old leading a battle of any sorts. -- Reaper  X  22:03, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Immigration?
"Jean Talon was mostly in charge of populating la Nouvelle France. He did so successfully, bringing more than a quarter or the population of France over."

This does not seem right... — Preceding unsigned comment added by GregRog (talk • contribs) 03:50, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Year of birth: 1625 or 1626?
He was baptized on January 8, 1626, but when was he born? The Catholic Encyclopedia (1913) said 1625, look here. I don`t know any reference for 1626 – somebody else? Otherwise it should be changed. --Trollflöjten (talk) 17:44, 27 August 2018 (UTC) PS: In 2005 User:Fawcett5 has changed the year from 1626 to 1625, source? However, the article is still in the category:1625 births.
 * Oh, I'm was wrong, user:Fawcett5 has only added the date of baptism; here has User:Jpbarbier changed the year without any word, without any reference. --Trollflöjten (talk) 19:48, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
