Talk:Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

Unnecessary sentence

I have removed "Just like the Black History Month and Women's History Month celebrations, the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month originated from legislation." as all such months are legislated, and it is a copyvio from http://www.axawards.com/. Chris 21:53, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Picture

I'm sorry, but what does this picture have anything to do with this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Twotonedskazn (talk • contribs) 15:20, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

It's explained in the captions. New comments go at the bottom. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 02:35, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

well i think that its the flag —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.105.131.227 (talk) 23:26, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Is this image not a case of cultural appropriation and thus inappropriate for this page? Like a slap in the face? How strange Wikipedia and Wikicommons should use this image instead of people who actually represent Maori culture. Please find a more engaging image that reflects Asian American and Pacific Islander culture. This is just wrong. Thanks. Galo1969X (talk) 19:03, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

I agree, the picture is appalling. Those are not haka poses, the attire isn't Maaori and none of them look Maaori. 167.179.181.224 (talk) 05:23, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Does anyone know how to edit the incorrect title of a Wikipedia article?

Asian Pacific American Heritage Month should read as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, as its article states . . . “Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (as of 2009, officially changed from Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month). . . “

Does anyone know how to edit this? Barmarra (talk) 14:33, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

"Asian Pacific American Heritage Month" title should read as "Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month", as its article states in the first sentence.

(Otherwise, you should add a slash "Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month" which is the old name.)

Asian/Pacific American (APA) or Asian/Pacific Islander (API) or Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) are terms sometimes used in the United States to include both Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans.

I have added redirects so multiple names will work. The complete list is here —Quantling (talk | contribs) 00:59, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

I've now moved the article to Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. V2Blast (talk) 15:16, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Welp... I should have read the previous section as well. I still think the current name is a better title for the article than the previous one, at least if the claim in the opening sentence about the official name of the celebration is accurate. V2Blast (talk) 15:49, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Indians vs Indians

The source for there being Asian Indians in Jamestown seems to be misinterpreted. The pdf cited does not imply anywhere that the 4 Indian residents of Jamestown were Indians from India. Based on how the term Indian is used in the document I believe it far more likely these were 4 American Indian inhabitants.
