 Done. If you can't add links this way, you can use Special:SetSiteLink. --Stryn (talk) 19:24, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

At some time during the past month, the ethnic group was changed from 'African-American' to 'Irish American' and 'Luo people of Kenya and Tanzania' (the latter unsourced). Obama might indeed have both of these ancestries, but as ethnic group (P172) states unequivocally the only acceptable sources for similar claims are either the individual himself or the consensus of scholars, and from this New York Times article Obama described himself as an African American in the 2010 census form, without specifying any other ethnicities.--Underlying lk (talk) 21:47, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did that change. As you have a source for 'Afro American' I have added that source to that statement.

Luo ethnicity is well established for Barack Obama's father. I think there may be a source in his book 'Dreams of my father' which establishes his efforts to reconnect with his family there. Filceolaire (talk) 01:18, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You may wish to semi-protect the page so that only registered users (perhaps with accounts 4 days old and above) could edit it.--Nostro Fidelis (talk) 04:39, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The LinkedIn address https://www.linkedin.com/in/presidentbarackobama/ is invalid. Removing "president" from that URL makes it valid again. Maybe someone with editing rights can change that?--37.201.181.45 17:47, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Trivialist (talk) 18:51, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

44 was left-handed and also the first African American President. I guess 'has quality' is better? Still need to add Ethnicity... @Runner1928: Dprophitjr (talk) 00:56, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Associating the POTUS twitter account with this wikidata item is wrong since the twitter account belongs to the current president. The entry should be removed. --Mateusbs17 (talk) 23:13, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mateusbs17: We still keep the @POTUS Twitter linked, even though it doesn't refer to Barack Obama anymore. To avoid such confusion, qualifiers are used to denote when the account was used under Obama's name. The qualifiers show that the account belonged to Obama from June 2013 to January 20, 2017. —  Melofors  TC  13:44, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I removed Place of birth: Kenya, as the cited reference says that it's a forgery from 2009. Kaldari (talk) 17:27, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is apparently an alias of Barack Obama. I'm sorry, but where did this come from? Harej (talk) 00:59, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Harej: I didn't add it, but here is a source: [1], it was his high school basketball team nickname. Difool (talk) 02:13, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fascinating, thank you. Harej (talk) 02:22, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
