A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on June 28, 2020 and June 28, 2021.

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]
