I have raised a question regarding Susanna Salter's birthplace. Please see Talk:Belmont County, Ohio for further information. --TommyBoy 00:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, my question has been answered. --TommyBoy 06:19, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling of Middle Name

I believe Susanna Salter's middle name is spelled "Medora," not "Madora."

I have reverted the change in spelling of her middle name back to "Madora", because both sources cited in the article state that her middle name is spelled that way. --TommyBoy 04:51, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very well, I suppose college isn't enough of a source.

As explained on User:NO NO NO E-Z-GO!'s Talk page, I meant a reliable source. --TommyBoy (talk) 03:46, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article-related Question

First White Baby

Could an American please go over that sentence and check if it isn't a bit... racialist? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:E1:BF1F:E598:2CC0:3EFF:BA99:23D8 (talk) 18:11, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not American, but from a similar settler colony, and I can confirm it's a well-known concept. Often the child and its mother would become very minor celebrities in later years. It's also a very racist concept, particularly when you consider that they were almost always pre-dated by a lot of half-white babies who never got in the newspapers, but it's well known and does show a distinct stage in settlement. Two examples, one showing it was paid attention to as a current event as late as the 1930s [1], and another showing these 'first white babies' were considered significant in later life 2.2407:7000:899A:CD00:31EB:F477:EAEA:F3E8 (talk) 18:29, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since one of the References cited in this article only states that she gave birth to the first baby born in Argonia without any mention of race, I have updated the article accordingly.--TommyBoy (talk) 02:46, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
