Notes

[edit]

Uh, has anyone noticed a missing ethnicity? Where are the famous European-Americans? I'm not willing to tackle a project that size, but I'm sure it can be done. Citizen Premier 06:45, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Your wish is my unfortunate command.

The List of Liberian-Americans points to the Americo-Liberians so should not be included here; I will be WP:Bold and make it so. Carlossuarez46 18:23, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's 2015, and we do not have a list for Canadian Americans?? Savvyjack23 (talk) 19:26, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So why not on the template? Not list enough? 188.238.100.116 (talk) 12:02, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And, that would be a bad reason: Australian Americans links to "Australian American#Notable Australian Americans", Honduran links to "Honduran American", Trinidadian and Tobagonian links to "Trinidadian and Tobagonian American", Guatemalan and Peruvian are redlinks.

So there are already three which are not lists listed. 188.238.100.116 (talk) 12:21, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Now, the redlinks are gone. But if the non-lists can stay, there are many more in Template:Asian Americans, Template:European Americans, Template:West Indian Americans, Template:Hispanic and Latino Americans and Template:Arab Americans. Most of them have section list like this: Georgian Americans#Notable Georgian Americans and the above mentioned Australian article. 85.76.80.171 (talk) 02:50, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently working on a large scale project to standardize and beautify the Lists of Notable Americans, sorted by ethnicity, because god damn they are a mess. Any Advice on how to do so or the standards that everyone is missing, including me, please feel free to tell me.The Editor's Apprentice (talk) 21:02, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Separated "Cajun" from French. Not all Acadians (who migrants to Louisiana) expelled were of French descent. With this prior logic, "Louisiana Creole" should also be bracketed along side French as Louisiana-born Frenchman were Creoles, but not all Creoles were French either; some Spanish, Native American or African descent in the colonial colony. There is a grand confusion that all Creole descended peoples are black or of African descent and that the white French population of Louisiana are all Cajun; this is not true. See: Edgar Degas as an example. To argue further, when the tally of French spoken in the United States is conducted, French, Cajun French, and French Creole languages are included. So it's best to simply keep them separated in this list due to the former realization. Savvyjack23 (talk) 06:35, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Americans portal was recently deleted. I've removed the red link from the template. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 11:24, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings and felicitations. I, unfortunately, am not skilled enough in template makeup to implement this or to figure out which alternative template will do the job properly. My reason is exemplified in Tejanos#Notable people. Would someone please be so kind as to perform this edit? —DocWatson42 (talk) 22:28, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
