Delambre contributed to the remarks about Ptolemy made by Tycho. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.170.8 ( talk) 10:23, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
I am just wondering why M. Legendre appears in this article when neither Delambre nor any other member of the expedition appears in the Legendre article. I would be grateful for any elucidation OsmNacht ( talk) 15:07, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
French Wikipedia renders the name Jean-Baptiste Joseph Delambre (which to me implies Jean-Baptiste as a first name, Joseph as a middle name), but Mac Tutor and Britannica both say Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Delambre (which to me implies all 3 are part of the first name). Does anyone know more authoritatively how many of these should be considered part of the given name vs. middle name(s), and how it should be hyphenated? – jacobolus (t) 04:29, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
