Thomas-Alexandre[edit]

Both the introduction and the "Birth and family" section switch between talking about Alexandre Dumas and his father, Thomas-Alexandre Dumas. His family is significant, but their names are similar enough that it ought to be more clear which person is being discussed. 2600:1700:7F10:7270:AD91:5D91:14BB:462B (talk) 07:02, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Information-- Archaeological Superintendent of Pompeii[edit]

Dumas was appointed as Director of the Public Museums and Excavations of Italy and Archaeological Superintendent of Pompeii and Herculaneum^[1]^[2]. This seems like somewhat significant information that would be beneficial to include.

I'm relatively new to wikipedia and unsure about this process, but what are others opinions on the matter? --Beedlejoos (talk) 11:30, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
