[edit] 'Took Part'

I replaced the phrase 'took part' with 'was included' in the coronation. 'Took part' implies intent, IMHO. Seeing as he was two years old, he had no say one way or the other. Ttenchantr 20:07, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability, Relevance?

I'm not sure there's any value in having the son of the "Cannibal Emperor" with his own page. Does anyone know if he even makes the claim that he is Emperor, or has anyone even advanced the claim on his behalf? I think it would be much better to simply merge this into the main Jean-Bedel Bokassa article, with the statement that his son would be Emperor today had the Central African Empire continued. Also, this site: http://genealogia.netopia.pt/2875/pessoas.php?id=1050246 has his birthday listed as 2 November 1973, not 1975 as listed. Which is correct? Jsc1973 (talk) 09:05, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
