[edit] American or US-American
Someone changed the wikilink "United States|US-American" to "United States|American" which I have reverted. This someone should be aware of the fact that "American" means "part of the continent America" which is not identical with the "United States". As long as there are no "United States of the complete continent of America", internationally the term "US-American" (and not "American") is used for anything applying to the USA. -- Meister 21:51, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- Agree That's a constant problem which US citizens/residents don't recognize. The official name of the country is United States of America, not "United States" or "America". There is a "United States of Mexico" and "United States of Brazil," so even the term "U.S." is somewhat a problem. Safer to use "USA" and the somwhat awkward, but more accurate wikilink "United States|US-American". --TGC55 13:54, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Still, even Mexicans refer to America as the Estados Unidos and when Middle Eastern terrorists chant "Death to America", they are not imagining Canada. Srnec 03:28, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's funny that even Middle East terrorists have been picking up genuine US-terminology :-) -- Meister 11:57, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Date of birth
Here is some reasonable evidence to support 25 November 1940 (not 1941), as his birth date. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. Anyone care to comment ?

[edit] He is not dead you dummy!
Percy is still touring. Do a google news search. Go to the "Official Percy Sledge" site and book tickets to concerts.
Here is part of a recent article:
"Cajun Hot Sauce Festival set for April 13-15 Monday, March 26, 2007 1:32 PM CDT By Steve Bandy The Daily Iberian
National recording artists Billy Currington and Percy Sledge will headline two nights of concerts for the seventh annual Cajun Hot Sauce Festival April 13 -15 at SugArena."

- Quite right - factually. So I have removed the erroneous "year of death" from the article, which you as an editor could have done without being uncivil on this talk page. The heading to this post is not recommended as a means of approaching one user on his talk page, let alone who knows how many users visiting this article. Thanks.
