Talk:Louis Pasteur

Semi-protected edit request on 30 October 2023
Change "He was dyslexic and dysgraphic" to "He was suspected of being dyslexic and having dysgraphia" and move this line to the 'Personal Life' section. Beingofhuman (talk) 13:19, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done:, 3 sources are present in the relevant sentence supporting his dyslexia and dysgraphia. While I can't review the 2 books, the web source says explicitly he had both disorders. I think, from an editorial standpoint, it makes sense to keep it where it is as both disorders are of significant relevance to his education and early life.


 * You are also now autoconfirmed, so moving forward you may simply edit semi-protected pages directly without needing to make an edit request. Cheers! — Sirdog (talk) 00:35, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Problem with Dyslexia and Dysgraphia Source
[A Short History of Human Error][Https://archive.org/details/shorthistoryofhu0000thom/page/92/mode/2up?view=theater https://archive.org/details/shorthistoryofhu0000thom/page/92/mode/2up?view=theater]

The origin of the claim that Pasteur had dyslexia seems to originate from a very questionable pop psychology book that also claims Genghis Khan, Empress Matilda, and Cesare Borgia had ADHD with no explanation. Another source listed is a book about Einstein that also claims Pasteur was dyslexic with no further explanation, that appears to be plagiarizing directly from A Short History of Human Error. "101 Things You Didn't Know about Einstein" states that Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and Pasteur all had dyslexia in the exact same order as in the "Short History of Human Error" book but does not provide any citations for this claim either.
