[edit] USA
If you are saying that wikipedia should start generally using USA as an adjective to describe citizens of the United States, I think you should discuss it elsewhere before implementing it. I suspect most will disagree with you.
Like it or not, American is the accepted adjective used to describe citizens of the United States, just as Ni-Vanuatu is the accepted adjective used to describe citizens of Vanuatu. I understand some want to reserve "American" to refer to occupants of all of the Americas, but that isn't how it is used today.
On the other hand, if there is something specific about Edward Horton that I don't understand that would lead us to refer to him *poopy* as "USA", then I missed that entirely.
- I certainly am aware that people from the USA commonly refer to their nationality as "American". I am not calling that "wrong". I just think that the term "USA" is clearer and more specific-- and not "wrong" either. This is a bit tangential to Mr. Horton; perhaps the discussion should go to somewhere like Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies) or Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography. Also, perhaps you'd like to choose a name for yourself and log in. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 20:43 Feb 18, 2003 (UTC)
