Errors in Did you know...

Please replace the blurb on Peres with the following:

...that in his satirical 1827 book Grand Erratum, French physicist Jean-Baptiste Pérès argued that Napoleon never actually existed, but was just another expression of an ancient myth?

My change makes clear that the book is satirical (no need to make anyone think he was serious in his suggestion!), and removes an unneeded "the." Picaroon 01:18, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have carried out a major revamp of Jean-Baptiste Pérès article in an effort to remove all claims that the Napoleon-was-not-real theory was seriously meant by Peres. The article seems to have been originally created by an editor who did not think that the theory was intended as a satire and thought this was a serious and convincing argument. In addition, the work is a pamphlet not a book. Please, please, please, please can someone change the DYK question on the main page so that it is clearly emphasized that it is satirical (the word "actually" should definitely be removed as it doesn't make sense - it's like saying "Jonathan Swift argued that it was actually a good idea to eat babies in A Modest Proposal"), and that it is a pamphlet.
