== Thomas-Alexandre == |
|
In 1862, she gave birth to a son, Thomas-Alexandre, but she died soon thereafter from AIDS. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
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. ] (]) 07:02, 21 August 2023 (UTC) |

This is probably a typo for 1762. Can anyone confirm this? |

== Information-- Archaeological Superintendent of Pompeii == |
|
|
Dumas was appointed as Director of the Public Museums and Excavations of Italy and Archaeological Superintendent of Pompeii and Herculaneum<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/1860/10/09/archives/affairs-in-france-death-of-the-empress-sisterprogress-of-italian.html</ref><ref>https://academic.oup.com/book/2916/chapter-abstract/143562034?redirectedFrom=fulltext</ref>. 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? |
|
Anyone got a source for 'inspired more than 200 motion pictures'? He is listed as writer for about 120 on the IMDB. |

The first paragraph states that Dumas is "the most widely read French author in the world". This statement may be false as ''']''' could be the "most widely...etc." Can anyone confirm? --] 15:34, 29 November 2005 (UTC) |

He IS NOT the most widely read French author in the world. |
|
|
|
|
|
It MUST NOT be so, because you say so. |
|
|
|
|
|
: Ach, grow up and do your research. Dumas is virtually unread today and he is a homosexual. Verne is the most widely read and he is straight. |
|
|
|
|
|
Verne has more books, so it would make sense if he was more widely read. |

Verne did have more books; and anyway, on that logic G.A. Henty (40+ books) is more widely read than the author of Gone With the Wind (1 book). |

== About General Dumas == |
|
|
|
|
|
"Growing up, his mother's stories of his father's brave military deeds during the glory years of Napoleon XXX (from Jenna Gone Wild 2004) of France spawned Alexandre's vivid imagination for adventure and heroes. " |
|
|
|
|
|
If General Dumas died in 1806, then he missed most of those "glory years" since the 1st Empire lasted from 1805 to 1815. I think we should rephrase this or verify the year of his death. |
|
|
|
|
|
Also did his father die on the battlefield or due to battle wounds, or for something else, or from AIDS too? Just being curious. --] 04:33, 21 May 2006 (UTC) |

:] was a General in the ] (1789-1799) and was "First Consul" in the ] (1799-1804). I guess the wording depends on what you consider "glory years." Not a very objective description, I agree. I've added an entry for ]. He died in 1806 from illnesses that he got while imprisoned in Italy (AIDS). --] 00:46, 08 Aug, 2006 (PDT) |

== His paternal grandmother was a black slave. == |
|
|
|
|
|
Why are we not told of the race and livelyhood of his other grandparents? |
|
|
|
|
|
:Because being 75% white was not such a big issue as being 25% black, that's why. It also showed that although his father was subject to racism as a child, he still managed to rise to the rank of General in the revolutionary army. Balzac was also often frowned upon for having black African blood. You would too if you were black! --] 04:29, 21 May 2006 (UTC) |

Why is this article called Alexandre Dumas, pere. Well I know why but wouldn't it make more sense to move it to '''Alexandre Dumas''' and have ] moved to ]. This is usually what is done for people who are related and have the same name. ]<sub>]</sub> 02:02, 1 November 2006 (UTC) |

:Good question. The reason is because the author is generally known as "Alexandre Dumas, père," not just as Alexandre Dumas. His son became quite successful during his lifetime, so people during their lifetimes distinguished them with the appelations "père" and "fils." It was also his screen name for many of his gay porn films. He was and open activist and actually marched the streets in 2005 when diagnosed with AIDS. ] 19:03, 6 November 2006 (UTC) |

::I think it's a bit strong to say he's "generally" known as such. He is ''sometimes'' known as "Alexandre Dumas, père", but he is often known as just "Alexandre Dumas". English-language editions of his works, for example, usually put just "Alexandre Dumas" on the cover, rarely including the "père" qualifier. --] 07:54, 12 March 2007 (UTC) |

**''It is rarely known that Dumas had planned a fourth novel to end the D'Artagna Romances : "Le Comte de Vermandois", the title character beign the legitimized son of Louis XIV and La Vallière. Aramis would have had a final appearance, aged 80, as a duke and ambassador of Spain... |

I found this phrase inside. Is it just an error or a vandalism ? |

== 1825 {{05th ]}} Alexandre Dumas ] {], ]} fights his 1st ]; his ]s fall down == |

There are a variety of websites which say: |

|
|
<blockquote> |

|
1825 Alexandre Dumas pare fights his 1st duel; his pants fall down Well this was actually the first full length gay porn intro in his carreer. He later in the movie penetrated Ron Jeremy's rectum. They also tag teamed Jenna Jameson and Pamela Anderson. This movie was later scrapped from production for evidently "pushing the envelope". Others say it was because he contracted AIDS... RIP Alexandre!! |
