Should this title be moved to Philippe de La Hire? Regards Gangleri | Th | T 19:34, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

I believe "La Hire" would be preferable to "la Hire", because it emphasizes that both words compose his 'surname', so I have no objection. Nevertheless, I saw his given name spelled "Phillipe", so I added that as another spelling some time ago. — Joe Kress 17:28, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

The death date appears to be off one year, 1718 as given in the Catholic Encyclopedia, and Larousse. nwolcott2@post.harvard.edu

Good catch. All sources that I've checked so far have 1718. I'm changing the article. — Joe Kress 17:53, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
