Thomas Edison was born in the United States of America and lived in America. Therefore, he is American. --RockstoneSend me a message! 00:06, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
@186.154.239.26 I'm pretty sure most people are not from America. 109.170.181.75 (talk) 15:22, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

"Known for" list

I suppose if one were deeply immersed in the radio invention controversy one might know about it, but what basis is there to say that he is "known for" it? 2601:642:4600:D3B0:A1B7:99D2:61CB:C097 (talk) 03:49, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
