Under Career

Under the Career section, the sentence stated that he "left the school." Which school was it? Did it mean to say, that he experimented with instrument design after leaving his primary education? It's a bit unclear. Clarification, please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.210.124.64 (talk) 16:23, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I will clarify the statement. Please sign your posts with four tildes ~~~~

Picture changed might not be better.

While the lead picture change by the recent editor @Scewing: is nice and all, I think the previous picture had more clarity. The current one seems to be too damaged while the replaced picture is in better condition and has more clarity. --Xavier (talk) 18:50, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dinant was not anymore in France in November 1814

Dinant was part of the short-lived French Department of Sambre-et-Meuse, which was disestablished in May 1814 after Napoleon's defeat. It then returned to Netherland. So Adolph Sax was not born in France Sapphorain (talk) 08:01, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User3749, your response? El_C 08:02, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

However Sapphorain did not cite any sources, if he/she did, I Will not revert it but he/she didn't cite any sources User3749 (talk) 08:04, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

But you have no source either stating that he was born in France. If the page Sambre-et-Meuse is wrong, it should be modified. Sapphorain (talk) 08:08, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One unsourced edit does not offset the other. You need a reliable source to attribute that change to. El_C 08:12, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

But you also need a reliable source to keep the assertion that it was in France. Until a source for either country is provided, I am going to suppress the indication of a country. Sapphorain (talk) 12:50, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
