[edit] The original was offensive in its nationalism

The original assumed that states own those they declare as citizens, and assumed that an actual "duty" of some sort is "owed" to the state. I changed the wording in an attempt to achieve neutrality, but I think it is clumsy and welcome alternative suggestions. --Silverback 10:28, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I tried a new wording. Tom Haws 02:33, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Link suggestions

An automated Wikipedia link suggester has some possible wiki link suggestions for the Allegiance article, and they have been placed on this page for your convenience.
Tip: Some people find it helpful if these suggestions are shown on this talk page, rather than on another page. To do this, just add {{User:LinkBot/suggestions/Allegiance}} to this page. — LinkBot 10:33, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Removed "some think" from the first line

It might seem offensive or nationalistic to put it the way it was put, but as rephrased it appears to un-define the word altogether.

Perhaps a paragraph about international recognition of the right to emigrate, and to renounce allegiance would make more sense, somewhere in the body of the article?

[edit] Disambiguous page

This page should really be a page to clarify exactly what the user wants to find. I came here looking for information about the Allegiance computer game...even though there is a link at the bottom of this page for the computer game I should not have seen this page at all.

The disambiguation link, though, is at the top of the page... --badpazzword 15:12, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
