Talk:Sam Houser

message: Sam Houser is British born and raised to British parents. Someone thought it would be a good idea to try and make out he's 'somewhat American' by adding he was British 'by birth but is now American'  Is that realy relevant...? lol
No other person on Wikipedia gets the title of 'American' just because they work or move to America...so why should this be any different?--Boxerboi31 (talk) 18:09, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sam Housers Nationality 

message: Sam Houser was born in Britain to British parents and raised in Britain for most of his 30 odd years. Yet because he know works and has duel citerzen ship with America somone thinks it's a good idea to add Sam is "British born but now American" to the article. This is not relevant what so ever and should be removed. If i at 31yrs of age now move to America or go over to work in America it doesn't make me American, i'd still be British!
No other person on Wikipedia has been given the title of 'American' just because they moved to or work in America, so why should Sam be any different?--Boxerboi31 (talk) 18:51, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is not claiming that Houser should be considered American because he lives and works in America; it merely says that he became a naturalised American citizen in 2007, which appears to be factually correct. The article clearly states Britain as his place of birth. --McGeddon (talk) 19:49, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:   Requested edit 

message: Hello. I noticed that Sams article says "he became an American citizen in 2007."  twice. Did it even need it once let alone twice?
It says it once at the top, then again under 'Early Life'. Has it even added anything to the article in the first place? I've not noticed anyone else who's moved countries to have it.
:As per McGeddon's comments above. The article is factually correct. He was born in Britain, is now a full American citizen and as per Wikipedia Biography we should not impose a nationality upon him when he hasn't explicitly stated what he defines himself as. The naturalization text is repeated because the lead section is a summary of the rest of the article, hence it appears twice in the article. - X201 (talk) 12:25, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: No need for the aggression. If you had just posted these sources at the start of the week they would have been added to the article. The statement about stating someone's nationality is Wikipedia policy, if you think it is wrong you need to talk to the people who created it, not rant at me. The information will be added to the article later. - X201 (talk) 15:47, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

text: Kandyce, you added the references incorrectly. You're supposed to put the author of the reference's name in the reference, not your own. Have fixed. If you want to, its perfectly acceptable to put just the URL between the REF tags, there are automated tools that can sort out the rest. - X201 (talk) 07:49, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  request edit 

message: I'm compiling the request for clarification from WP:BIO that I mentioned above and I noticed that the refs for Sam only say British, not English so I've changed that to suit the refs. Of the links in the previous section only the ones for Dan say English. - X201 (talk) 08:07, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi X201. I don't suppose it really matters to be honest. His brother Dan says he's English and Sam says he's British. Their parents are English and they grew up in England etc etc. English people call themselves English or British.--Kandyce 2013 (talk) 20:50, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm only bothered about it from an article point of view. I just want to get it done correctly, with sources, to prevent future problems. - X201 (talk) 08:12, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Even Irish people say the British when referring specifically to the English, even though it would exclude Scots and Northern Irish. It's because British contains the idea also of the British Empire and that history, like it or not. Grammatically, it's incorrect though (here I suspect too that fans of the exciting but violent videogame franchise--which really has changed the face of the industry--like the historical connotation), especially in a place like Wikipedia, with American, Malaysian, and other readers to whom such subtleties would be lost so changing.--96.246.181.83 (talk) 13:58, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
