[edit] American

The Wikipedia standard is "American; please don't insist on changing it for this article, when it's used in hundreds of thousands of others. (Your edit summary was misleading, by the way.) --Mel Etitis (Talk) 19:06, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi there Serg!oo. Could you explain what you mean by "Shakira is American too?." I don't see how changing "American" to "U.S." for Beyonce shows that Shakira is also American. Orane (talk • cont.) 19:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
I think that he meant that "American" should refer to the whole continent, so that calling someone "American" when what's meant is that they're from the U.S. is misleading. The trouble is that, first, "American" is the standard term for a citizen of the U.S., and isn't used to refer to someone from the continent in general, and secondly, that is in any case Wikipedia's standard usage. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 21:10, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
