Talk:Pierre Agostini

Frenchness
please discuss here why do you need to indicate that he was born in a French family. More sources are coming in the following days, please be patient. ReyHahn (talk) 14:08, 3 October 2023 (UTC)


 * He was born in a family of Italian descent in Tunis and afterwords moved to France. What is wrong here? 84.33.161.29 (talk) 14:30, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Can you source that he is from Italian descent? Wikipedia is based on external reliable sources.--ReyHahn (talk) 14:31, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The source is Wikipedia. There you can find that he was born in Tunis, moved to France where he studied at the University of Marseille. 84.33.161.29 (talk) 14:35, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I am referring to his ancestry or family details. Wikipedia is not a source. See WP:CIRCULAR and WP:Wikipedia is not a reliable source.--ReyHahn (talk) 14:39, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Birthplace
Currently there is some discussion going on about the place of his birth and the valid source for it. The article currently states: Agostini was born in Tunis, Tunisia, in 1941. and cites to the back cover of this article. This is correct as can be seen at this pdf link (bottom of page 808) of the article under Contributors, specifically:

''Agostini was born in Tunis, Tunisia, on July 23, 1941. He received the PhD. degree in optics from the University of Marseille, Marseille, France, in 1967.''

Hope this clears up any issues with the source. MicrobiologyMarcus (talk) 14:12, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
