Add "Return to France" subheading
The section "Great Britain" could be broken up at the point where he returns to France. Seregesis (talk) 09:03, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
Birth/death place
Shouldn't there be a link to Paris and France under the born and died in the infographic? 24.249.20.223 (talk) 16:40, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Religious and philosophical views, "rise from an incestuous..."
This quote is currently not verifiably attributable to Voltaire by Wikipedia's standards. It appears to derive from a chain of citations that ultimately traces back to Richard Holmes’s essay "Voltaire’s Grin" in "Sidetracks" (2000). A third-hand source is citing Holmes — as if quoting Voltaire. As it currently stands, this is misleading and violates Wikipedia's Verifiability. Unless a primary source in Voltaire’s original French text can be found for this quotation, it should be removed. 2600:1700:B5D0:9980:EEB8:A9:8F55:4061 (talk) 11:24, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- I think Holmes's essay in the 2000 book is a reprint of a 1995 essay in The New York Review: https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1995/11/30/voltaires-grin/. DrKay (talk) 16:56, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
