File talk:Maurois Harcourt 1936.jpg

This photo is mislabelled, since to my opinion this is not François Mauriac. I strongly believe (not to say that I'm sure) that it is André Maurois ! which is a look alike... I don't know if the uploader did the confusion, or Harcourt does, but it is urgent to clarify this point ! See this on google...--LPLT (talk) 17:45, 31 January 2019 (UTC). PS : See below a certified picture of André Maurois (note the same position of the hand and expression compared to the uploaded picture of this discussion page)

As answered on my talk page, the description of the file, i.e. Mauriac and not Maurois, matches the description at source (RMN) and here. — Racconish ^💬 18:04, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Yes, but erronated. Harcourt/RMN made a confusion between the 2 when labelling.--LPLT (talk) 18:06, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Maybe, but I find it unlikely Evin would not have checked for his book. — Racconish ^💬 18:09, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

« would not have checked », indeed !... The confusion between the 2 is easy, they are alike. Look the pictures and the comments I've made, and search on google image. Mauriac is more in bones, and Maurois more in flesh, with less blurry eyes compared to Mauriac. Plus the fact that Mauriac never had long hairs (not to mention a wick covering his bald skull), plus the inferior lip (very distinctinve between the 2 : Mauriac has a thin one, Maurois a more fleshy and short one), plus the hand position, plus the look, plus the polka-dot tie, plus... The more I search, the more I'm positive.--LPLT (talk) 18:31, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

With respect, this is only at this point your opinion against RMN and Evin. I have added a dispute template to the page and suggest it could be a good idea to contact an authority on the subject to clarify the matter. Thanks anyway for raising the issue. — Racconish ^💬 18:42, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

It's my opinion, indeed. But with strong arguments, that I gave. You probably have your opinion too... OK for the template, and of course to contact the « authority ».--LPLT (talk) 18:46, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

@LPLT: I had a careful look at Gallica's photos of Maurois and Mauriac and they convinced me you are probably right. I would rather err on that side until a clarification. Thanks again, — Racconish ^💬 21:19, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

@Racconish: Great ! Thanks for your attention on this question. I thought it was important since it spreads on all WPs through Wikidata... I'm happy that you're convinced too (and though can stop to jump on my chair seeing Mauriac beeing confused with Maurois – which I agree is an easy mistake to commit).

To bring further grist to your mill, Maurois posed for Harcourt in 1963 [1]. — Racconish ^💬 21:31, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Maurois. Voir la ligne haut du pavillon de l'oreille par rapport aux yeux/sourcils. --Pa2chant. (talk) 08:00, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Maurois. Sure. From left to right : Maurois - Maurois - Mauriac - Mauriac. Manacore (talk) 15:03, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
