A fact from Abel Aubert du Petit-Thouars appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 November 2006. The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that the French admiral Dupetit Thouars took possession of the Tahiti archipelago against his government's will? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/November.

Is this correct?

Or has the author of this section confused him with Abel Aubert Dupetit Thouars?

The Louis-Marie Aubert du Petit-Thouars say that his botany abbeviation is Thouras.

So it is likely that Abel Aubert Dupetit Thouars has the botany abbreviation of A.Thourars.

I wish that someone who knows how to check would verify. Thanks Nick Beeson (talk) 20:35, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
