message: Could someone explain how Barack Obama is the first 'African-American' president when he is just as Causasian as he is Black-therefore he is Biracial.
Also, what does the term 'African -American' mean outside the United States? Obama's father was an African, not an African American.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.252.245.194 (talk) 14:52, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: His biographical article (at, not surprisingly, Barack Obama) declares him to be 'African-American'. If you'd like to try out your argument, click on Talk:Barack Obama and give it a shot. However, given that this particular argument has brought up there and shot down multiple times, I don't expect you to have much luck. Nonetheless, there and not here is where you want to make that argument. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 15:53, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: this is a funny discussion. Since I am 1/32nd native american, I guess I can say that I am a native american as well. Kudos to the guy who brought up the biracial bit. But alas, just because he states something he is not, does that mean we have to accommodate this? Or should we just put into the truth that he is in fact biracial? Or even the more archaic term Mulatto? Dasbrick (talk) 23:50, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

message: This listing about L.A. Thompson's patent is a bit deceiving and unnoteworthy. Thompson was not the first person to patent the roller coaster, but he is the first person to build a roller coaster from his patent. There were roller coasters long before this.

message: I quickly skimmed the multiple discussions on this page regarding US presidential inaugurations, so I may have missed something, but I didn't notice any mention of the presidents of other countries.  If other countries regularly install theirs according to a schedule, are they listed in the Events sections of their respective dates?  I checked one other country that I am familiar with, South Korea.  Every five years and continuing for nearly thirty years (from 1987 to 2013), the South Korean president was inaugurated on February 25.  However, there is no mention of any of them on the February 25 page.  Would readers generally support adding all of them to that page?  Or just the socially significant ones?  Whatever standard is used for South Korea and other countries' presidential inaugurations should also apply to the Americans. -- BlueResistance (talk) 02:58, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

message: Hello, early today I tried to add inauguration day in the USA but was reverted, wrongfully I believe.  Inauguration Day in the U.S. has been scheduled for January 20 quadrennially since 1937 and there are many celebrations to commemorate it.  CLEARLY a holiday or observances.  Many citations exist for that date, this is one. pbp 00:38, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
