If Louis de Broglie was a French duke, then it follows that his title wouldn't be the seventh (7th) duc de Broglie, but Louis, le septième (7ième) duc de Broglie. Does anyone think the same, or should the seventh (7th) be left there for English people? (this is, after all, English Wikipedia).--Clickheretologin 13:32, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

"francisize" does not seem to be a common word, How about "gallicize" instead?

Neither. Since this guy is known for actually doing something, not just for holding a title, Wikipedia:Naming conventions says that the article should be the name by which he is best known in English: Louis de Broglie, or possibly Louis Victor de Broglie or [[Louis-Victor de Broglie. One or another of those spellings, of course, is used in the vast majority of the articles linking here, and I'd bet that almost all of them linking to the current article name were changed from something else at some time after this article was created. All the duke stuff, in both English and French, can appear in the intro, but it doesn't belong in the article name. Gene Nygaard 17:36, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clean up

This article is poorly written. A complete rewrite may be necassary.Woldo 00:23, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Three pages

"His doctoral thesis is said to be three pages long"

These things are usually public, so this should be easy to check. Either "said to be" must go, or the entire sentence. Shinobu 13:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I've heard that claim made on the web, but it seems to be nothing but an urban legend. The published version of de Broglie's thesis, "Recherches sur la théorie des quanta" is 111 pages long. [1] -- Tim314 14:47, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

I've heard his name pronounced a thousand different ways (de BROGlee, de BROGHlee de BROlee, de BROY)... any Francophones out there want to clarify this for the rest of us? --24.147.86.187 15:19, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
