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

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. |

Technically though, '''Alexandre Dumas, père''' was a ], and not a ], right? —] 14:22, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC) |

The mention of ''mulatto'' is of his father, General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas. —] 11:05 Aug 10, 2004 (PDT) |

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 the most widely read French author in the world. |
|
|
|
|
|
It MUST be so, because you say so. |
|
|
|
|
|
: Ach, grow up and do your research. Dumas is virtually unread today. Verne is the most widely read. |
|
|
|
|
|
Verne just has books, so it would make sense if he was more widely read. |

== About General Dumas == |
|
|
|
|
|
"Growing up, his mother's stories of his father's brave military deeds during the glory years of Napoleon I 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? Just being curious. --] 04:33, 21 May 2006 (UTC) |

== 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. --] 04:29, 21 May 2006 (UTC) |
