The article states Walt's dad was born in "the province of Canada". Canada is a country, not a province. His dad was born in the province of Ontario, in the country of Canada. 142.167.29.250 (talk) 17:23, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: He was born before Canada became a country. At the time it was a British colony known as The Province of Canada. Jamedeus (talk) 17:58, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can still add clarification so that it can be found on a current map. Stjoan1 (talk) 16:58, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 22 May 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= oder |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

References need to be added to the racism or anti-Semitism statement or "accusations" needs to be changed to "rumours". The approved editors don't have carte blanche on editing rules concerning the facts. If there are no facts to support the statement than it is just rumours either by the wiki editors or the public in general. Personally, I think the statement should be removed as it is not proofed and can't be proofed but that is not going to happen, right? Stjoan1 (talk) 16:51, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Please see § Reputation for further discussion and sourcing of this point, and note that the lead section of an article generally does not have footnotes per MOS:LEADCITE. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 22:02, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We can disregard my original request. I see the page is actually complex and the issue I had was explained or clarified in detail in a subsequent section. Stjoan1 (talk) 03:17, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Elias Disney. Walt Disney’s dather

He wasn't born in a Province called Canada. Canada is a country. There are many provinces in canada.

-The article needs to say that Disney attended German American Bund meetings according to Art Babbitt. Disney was clearly a regular to these meetings. He wasn't just associated but was active in these meetings pre-WWII. This man didn't just stumble into the wrong conference room with swastikas on the walls and promptly but was again and again going to these meetings if we take Art Babbitt at his word. Forget associating with Henry Ford, he was in Nazi meetings. If someone today were attending white supremacist meetings and someone notable said they saw him there a lot and there's no evidence the person ever denied the public allegations, that would undoubtedly make the Wikipedia article.
