Created in 1984
editCan someone explain how an office created in 1984 was filled in 1981?74.134.100.101 19:39, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Accredited to the Holy See
editI corrected the erroneous statement that the US Ambassador to the Holy See is accredited to the State of Vatican City. Wrong! There is NO diplomat, representing whatever government, accredited to Vatican City, the latter being merely a geographical area under the sovereignty of the Holy See. Ambassadors are accredited to sovereignties, not to mere territories UNDER a sovereignty, and the US Ambassador to the Holy See us accredited to the Holy See, period. Nor does an Apostolic Nuncio represent Vatican City; he represents the Holy See. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.93.17.117 (talk) 03:05, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Papal States redirect
editShould U.S. Minister to the Papal States really redirect here? Not only were the Papal States a completely separate political entity predating the consolidation of Italy, but the United States actually did have diplomatic relations with them and appointed a whole series of ministers plenipotentiary, none of whom are (or should be) mentioned in this article.IcarusPhoenix (talk) 16:44, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

This David Walters should not be confused with a different David Walters who served as governor of Oklahoma.
