Someone is trying to use this article to argue their viewpoint. It seems they feel that Jean Fonteneau was actually Portugese, and they think they have the articles to prove it, and they're using this wikipedia page to present their original research.

I have changed the article to reflect what standard encyclopedias in the field say.

Someone revert edited my changes and called them vandalism, when all of my changes were referenced.

This article should be renamed Jean Fonteneau. At minimum--- the article should reflect "doubt" about his origins. And not take sides in a disputed matter. 129.133.151.149 (talk) 22:24, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

IP, I replied on my talk page. I am not tied to this article or any "viewpoint" concerning it, but it seems that you are. With this edit, we can see that you removed sourced material with no explanation and are contesting that Jean Alfonse was Portugese. If the sources are wrong, then I understand changing the material. But if WP:Reliable sources state that he is Portugese and other WP:Reliable sources state otherwise, we should note both aspects in the article...in a WP:Due weight way, unless the other sources are in the significant minority. You also changed "Afonso" to " Fonteneau" throughout the article when the article is titled "Jean Alfonse." This is inconsistent. If you want the article changed, you need to seek out WP:Requested moves and make a solid case for moving the article. Also Template:DEFAULTSORT should be the title of the article. It should be "Alfonse, Jean," not "Fonteneau, Jean." I will alert WP:Biography, WP:History and WP:France to this matter. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 23:54, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
