Supposed Marooning on Amsterdam Island (Île Amsterdam)

An unsourced edit on Île Amsterdam made on September 1 2007 by Mohonu made reference to the marooning of François Péron on this island for three years, between 1792 and 1795, which contradicts his biographical page. It remained unchanged until today; I have removed the paragraph.

I did a little bit of research and found this: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica/Amsterdam_(Island)

Can anyone verify this source? Either the François Péron article is incorrect and he actually was marooned for three years (which is very unlikely... what are the chances of ONE person alone surviving a wreck which must have had many other people on board?), or I smell somebody playing silly buggers with one or some of these articles. jamie (talk) 16:23, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Further from this, I have learned that the pertinent biographical information on the François Péron page was written by Edward Duyker (or possibly an imposter?), who co-incidentally enough is a school chum of mine's father I have met many times and who is an absolutely trustworthy historian. This would lend me to further conclude that all of Mohonu's article edits may be suspect. I'll try to ascertain what's going on here... jamie (talk) 16:37, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, further research has just shown this to be a case of simple mistaken identity. Pierre François Péron and not François Péron was the man marooned on the island. Apologies to Mohonu for the accusation. jamie (talk) 17:18, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Now we have the right person, I cannot find any material on the circumstances under which Pierre François Péron became marooned.AWHS (talk) 10:33, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disagreement between Wikipedias on disrespect

This Wikipedia page says Peron "committed a great injustice to his former commander's memory by magnifying his faults and frequently distorting the historical record." However, the German Wikipedia page on Peron says Baudin was not mentioned "with a single word". Which is it? The French page says nothing about this at all. Someone needs to work out which is true, and get all pages that talk about it to align. Betterkeks (talk) 03:21, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
