Talk:Joseph Broussard

Dartmouth
Was Broussard involved in all 3 attacks on "prostestants" at Dartmouth? IF not, whould this information be included? And what is it with the slightly POV naming of prostestents? Were they British? They weren't attacking them because of their religion. Heironymous Rowe (talk) 22:49, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Remove the religious POV you are inserting. If the forces that were being killed were British, say "British". Heironymous Rowe (talk) 20:57, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It also seems from your wording that Broussard may not have been involved in the second and third attacks at Dartmouth. Was he or not? IF he was not, why is it included in an article about Broussard? Heironymous Rowe (talk) 21:09, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * User:Hantsheroes, I have toned down the weird religious POV you have been inserting into this article. The Acadians were not attacking the invading British army and colonists because they were Protestant. Keep your religious POV out of the article. And would you mind occasionally answering to queries on the talk page? I've left several messages for you here now, and at you article talk. Heironymous Rowe (talk) 05:30, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm new to wiki and using these talk pages. I just noticed this feature. You have made helpful edits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.177.59.60 (talk) 23:40, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Bloody Creek
What evidence is there that Broussard was present at the Second Battle of Bloody Creek (listed in the infobox, but not mentioned in the article text)? None of the secondary sources I've seen explicitly place him there, or identify the leaders of the Acadian force.  Magic ♪piano 20:06, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Broussard's Middle Name "Gaurhept?"
It's my understanding that Broussard's alleged middle name "Gaurhept" is mentioned in only one historical document (the so-called Dauterive Compact) and that it's generally believed by historians that "Gaurhept" was merely a very bad error by the scribe, who for whatever reason wrote "Gaurhept" instead of "Joseph."

In his book Acadian Redemption, which is basically a biography of Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil, author Warren A. Perrin writes:

"Beausoleil's first name, Joseph, was improperly listed as "Gaurhept." . . . ."

Does anyone have any additional proof that his middle name was indeed "Gaurhept"? If there is no additional proof, I suggest "Gaurhept" be deleted and that the accidental use of this name be mentioned somewhere in the article, as "Joseph Gaurhept Broussard" is now used all over the Internet even if the name is inaccurate.

Sincerely,

Image
I have removed Broussard's image. It's an original research done by a Wikipedian. It has absolutely no historical value. Cheers, 2804:14D:5C32:4673:28B7:63D:EAAE:2086 (talk) 19:25, 2 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Agree 100% with this. The image is straight up historical fanart. It has zero encyclopedic or illustrative value. Peter Isotalo 11:35, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
