In the second paragraph,

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

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

Anyone got a source for 'inspired more than 200 motion pictures'? He is listed as writer for about 120 on the IMDB. DJ Clayworth 16:18, 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Technically though, Alexandre Dumas, père was a quadroon, and not a mulatto, right? —Gabbe 14:22, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)

The mention of mulatto is of his father, General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas. —ccady 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 Jules Verne could be the "most widely...etc." Can anyone confirm? --Smiley77 15:34, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

External link

Hi, I would like to add an external link to the World of Biography entry Alexander Dumas Biography probably the most famous portal of biography to this article. Does anybody have any objections? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jameswatt (talk • contribs) 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Note: This user has added similar requests to link to biographies hosted on the same site to about 50 different articles. Although I believe that these requests were made in good faith, adding the links to all of the articles would be spamming. In addition, the biographies tend to be not very insightful and/or minimally informative, and the webpages contain Google AdSense links.

A fuller explanation of my own opinion on these links can be found here, if anyone wishes to read it.
