690:. Given that you both agreed to request a 3O opinion, it would be appropriate to at least explain why you disagree before simply reverting the edit. To reiterate the guidance, because the birthplace is known, the usage guidelines for the infobox for citizenship says the parameter is "rarely needed" and "should only be used if citizenship differs from the value in |nationality= and cannot be inferred from the birthplace." This is clearly not the case, since citizenship can be inferred from the fact that he is born in Virginia. The usage guidelines for nationality says to use nationality "where any confusion could result" regarding the difference between nationality and citizenship. An example where confusion might arise is when citizenship differs from nationailty in cases where a country doesn't "automatically grant citizenship to people born within their borders." This is not the case here. No one will confuse nationality and citizenship in this case since the US automatically grants citizenship to everyone born in the country. Finally, the template documentation includes the following additional information regarding the ethnicity parameter:
480:, there is no need to discuss your ramblings about sourcing genetic information on Kelvin Taylor not present in an article. This discussion has been resolved according to the Oxford Dictionary of Englands definition of Nationality, one of two definitions that applies to the article we are discussing. The second definition of Nationality stating "an ethnic group forming a part of one or more political nations" which would be African American. Your arguement is as bogus as saying you can not write his Citizenship as American without proof of birth certificate. Clearly this is resolved and I have only repeated myself as you wish to run circles around a clear definition of Nationality that applies to the article. Now for a third time, Thank you. Quite frankly, you are harrassing me after I have answered your quiery and kindly stated I am not attacking you. Hence my warning on vandalising and harrasment of any sort after gifting validity to my point of view based on clear definitions. Cheers.
416:, me stateing African American is his nationality, American is his citizenship in detail is sufficiant. Once again, in this article's case, citizenship and nationality are not the same, or they would not need seperate catagories. Nationality having two definitions, one stating "the status of belonging to a particular nation" and another stating "an ethnic group forming a part of one or more political nations",to which he is the latter" is enough and eliminates the arguement. Any additional input given to you on context on how identity can be abused with European Anthropologist influence being specific to Nationality was out of altruistic purposes. Your conflict of interest instead is out of ego. I am not sure why being called "African" along with him being "American" is a issue for you. I am not trying to attack you, but simply state the two definitions of Nationality on goolge according to the Oxford Dictionary of England (to which we all speak english due to European
322:, you also noted in Kelvin Taylor (actor) Knowledge page that he is African American. African American is his nationality. American is his citizenship. Nationality has two definitions, one stating "the status of belonging to a particular nation" and another stating "an ethnic group forming a part of one or more political nations",to which he is the latter. American is ambigous - this could refer to a mixed American with European features, which is actually European American. His birth state of Virginia does not make his ethnicity Virginian. He is African by dominate gene, American by birth country. I am not sure what is confusing about him being African American. African American is not a nationality category according to who? Black is ambigious, vague and as none specific as identifiying someone European as white. Black history does not speak for
296:, you noted in your edit summary, "This is clearly not a mistake. African American is a specific ethnicity, no different from Chinese American. America is his birth citizenship, African American is his nationality." But the terms here are mislabeled. African American is not his nationality - he was born in Virginia, not in Africa (and if he were born in Africa, he would be a Foo-ian American, where Foo is the actual country in which he was born, as Africa is not a nation). Chinese American is ambiguous - this could refer to an ethnicity (an American born to parents of Chinese origin) or a nationality (a person born in China who emigrated to America), but African American is not a nationality category (this is contested by
810:) has only reformated the the articles original format and added in inproper writing thay does not reflects Knowledge's style. I have contributed to correct and would ask that you review or revert that users changes correcting the writing that is not translated properly. However, this reflects my issue with this user's desire to improper null or discriminate against his nationality based on that users personal preference about being considered African. This is not about preference but accuracy to the article and the articles Nationality without aligning it the same as Citizenship.
934:. Almost all of them list the birth place and do not include either nationality or citizenship in the infobox. This shows that the guidelines are generally being followed. I did find a rare few that did (arguably incorrectly) include nationality in addition to the birthplace, and all of these listed "American" as the nationality. I found one or two that didn't include birthplace and listed "American" as the nationality in the infobox. I couldn't find a single article that listed "African-American" as the nationality in an infobox.
539:, however the definition of Nationality according to the oxford dictionary is very clear. Nationality is defined in two ways and states "an ethnic group forming a part of one or more political nations". The actors article is fine to defined as such without removal from the infobox. It is accuracte to his references articles of interviews and google algarithm as well. Your desire to null his nationality has no merit and ive asked you three times to stop harrassing by being a vandal with replies. You can pursue a
387:, in fact, states that neither the nationality nor the citizenship field should be used "when the country to which the subject belongs can be inferred from the country of birth" - which is the case here (he's never claimed citizenship of any other nation, and there doesn't seem to be any debate about his being born in Virginia). So, I think the best solution here is to remove both the nationality and the citizenship parameters from the infobox. Lastly, please
374:. Of the two definitions you gave for nationality, only the first describes the term as it is commonly used to identify subjects in the encyclopedia; the other is a colloquial usage that, more precisely, is better characterized as a definition for ethnicity. His birth state of Virginia tells us nothing at all about his ethnicity - his birth nation, indeed, tells us nothing about his ethnicity. His birth state of Virginia, however,

Regarding the infobox, the definition of the word "nationality" isn't the primary reason to leave it out of the infobox. The guidelines are to use birthplace if it's known and not to use nationality or citizenship. Since we know the birth place that's the proper way to handle. As to the definition

The conceptual difficulty with "American" would be solved by stating that his nationality is "United States" or equivalent - it's true that, e.g. in German they say US-Amerikan to make clear we do not mean "person from the

Oh, that is partly due to my previous actions. I had been removing "African-American" from the nationality field in the infobox, since it is not a nationality, and replacing it with "American" (I do not recall any examples where the person had been born outside the US), before I learned that the
