Birthplace [edit]

Somebody changed birthplace from Uppsala to Ovanåker, but according to the article in Svenskt biografiskt lexikon, he was born in Uppsala. There is a school in Uppsala thats named after him. What source exists for giving Ovanåker as the birthplace? up+land 20:07, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

was he born on novemberOf Swedish, Julian, or Gregorian calendar?--Jusjih 10:53, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Scale [edit]

didnt his scale have 0 for boiling and 100 for freezing?

Yes, that's right. / Fred-Chess 14:01, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
The text does not reflect that Celsius had the scale with 0 C as boiling water and melting ice at 100C.! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.146.196.20 (talk) 13:38, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Birthdate [edit]

A lot of other links state that Anders Celsius was born January 27th 1701, e.g. http://www.surveyor.in-berlin.de/himmel/Bios/Celsius-e.html, not November 27th 1701 - so which birth date is the correct one?

Anders Celsius was born on the 27th of November in 1701. It is stated so in the Nordisk familjebok, Sweden's most comprehensive encyclopedia of all times. The link - http://runeberg.org/sbh/celsiand.html Twangdrinking (talk) 21:09, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
We should assume that this document used the then-Swedish calendar? (see Swedish calendar) Cowbert (talk) 05:38, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
That's probably a fair assumption, but I don't think we can rely on it in order to arrive at the Gregorian date for the purposes of Wikipedia. -- JackofOz (talk) 07:34, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Carl Linnaeus [edit]

Carl Linnaeus's name is spelled in three different ways in the article. I'm going to unify them. --Jay (Histrion) (talk • contribs) 15:12, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
