Administrator Assistance Needed[edit]

This article should be entitled "Jean-Dominique Cassini de Thury" to be consistent with other English and German Wikipedia articles. (Frankly, I personally prefer "Jean-Dominique Cassini" as it is on fr.Wikipedia, but I'm not going to fight the system.) - - "Dominique" alone is incorrect. And adding a French court title into the title of this article (which most of them had) is rather pointless. - - Jean-Dominique is the fourth generation in a line of very important astronomers (think U.S. "Cassini Project") and map makers. Most often, he is cited in texts is "Cassini IV". His father, César-François Cassini de Thury, the most important of the bunch, is called "Cassini III". Both of the guys need redirect pages for these common nicknames, too. - - I could site a book source for you, but please see the bottom of the page for this article at fr.Wikipédia for quick proof: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carte_de_Cassini

(You can probably take are of these problems in minutes. It would take me hours to figure it out.) If you have a question, put it on my talk page. I won't have time to devote serious time to planning and writing these Cassini articles right away, so I may not see your post here. Thanks for you help!
