message: I have just corrected the article to read 'Holy See' instead of Vatican City. This is because the Vatican does not send ambassadors around the world because it does not want to. The Holy See does though. The CIA Factbook explains it this way:

thread_title:  Holy See, not Vatican 

message: Shouldn't the name of the article be changed from "Ambassadors to the United States" to "List of ambassors to the United States"? Because, it doesn't really have any information relating to the job at all, it just seems to be a list of names. So the name's not very appropriate. Daniel Montin 15:56, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Any interest in creating a new column noting whether the current ambassador is a political appointee versus a career foreign service officer? The transition may present the best time to do this as information has been in the press lately that Obama has "released" all of the political appointees effective January 20. --Daysleeper47 (talk) 18:24, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello all,
Here are the details of my recent edit.
Since N. Cyprus (TRNC) and W. Sahara are in the table, I've added Taiwan (ROC), Abkhazia, and S. Ossetia to the table. All three are in the same boat as the TRNC and W. Sahara (i.e. unrecognized). I also added a note about Kosovo's status in order to keep NPOV. The famious ambassdors box listed Shirley Temple Black as serving at the UN. This is not correct. See the State Dept.'s list of US-UN Ambassdors here: . She did serve in Ghana and Czechoslovakia, though; see  and . So in this case, the other two countries are correct. Hope this helps. - Thanks, Hoshie 06:17, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

message: How about including a paragraph on the numerous stages involved in the process before someone becomes U.S. ambassador?
# President announces intent to nominate
# President sends nomination to Senate
# candidate testifies in Senate committee hearing 
# candidate is voted out of committee
# Senate confirms
# Ambassador-Designate sworn in, becomes Ambassador
# presents credentials to foreign head of state
That's to the best of my knowledge - anyone have an official source for these steps? --Webmgr (talk) 11:31, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  List of current ambassadors updated 

message: The section of the article called "Nations Without Exchange of Ambassadors" is a nearly verbatim copy of this website. Also, it mostly repeats information that can already be found in the notes to the list above.

thread_title:  Killed in office 

message: I think this page is now rather out of date: According to the Washington Post most US Ambassadorships are now vacant except for China, Israel and the United Kingdom. I don't know whether it's worth updating the main chart to show most of the ambassadorships are vacant or to wait until the new administration nominates candidates to fill the roles. gbrading (ταlκ) 12:05, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: You are right, and we're definitely working on it. It's not that this list hasn't been touched since January 20, but we do definitely need more help cleaning the list up. There are just so many politically-appointed Assistant Secretaries and Ambassadors that it's hard to keep up. I know I and a few other editors are doing our best to change articles as we go, and you are more than welcome to jump in and help out as well. Gabe Iglesia (talk) 21:37, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

text: Also in regards to your question, I believe the consensus is that we do both - we list "Vacant" but also indicate the Chargé d'affaires. Gabe Iglesia (talk) 21:39, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Good idea; I was nervous of updating it because as you say finding out who is actually doing what at the moment is a struggle! I will try to update some stuff when I get a chance. gbrading (ταlκ) 09:42, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
