National Anthem of Luxembourg
Is this true?: "...the same Stafford Smith tune was also used as the national anthem of Luxembourg, but their anthem has since changed." It could be possible but I never heard this before. Is there any evidence and was it really official? When was it used (I only find these sources with "once")? That isn't a very clear... --Schnékert (talk) 10:24, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Luxembourg national anthem
The music of "Anacreon" was also temporarily employed for the national anthem of Luxembourg until the anthem's replacement by Ons Heemecht in 1895.


 * Where do you take this information from. Which was the title of the national anthem of Luxemburg before the new one. --Les Meloures (talk) 13:52, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Clarify surname?
Can anyone clarify John Stafford Smith's name? Is "Stafford Smith" a compound surname, or is Stafford a (middle) given name? He is referred to simply as Smith in several places in the article, implying that Stafford is a given name and not part of his surname, but as Stafford Smith in two places using phrasing that suggests that Stafford Smith is a compound surname.Rks13 (talk) 09:56, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Death
A reliable source is needed to support that It is often said that his Smith's death was caused by a grape-pip lodged in his windpipe. In addition, it also needs a reliable source that states it was not the cause of Smith's death, that Smith's cause of death was confused with the death of Anacreon. Citing Pliny as to the cause of Anacreon's death does neither. Schazjmd  (talk)  20:47, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
