Sound file for athem

I see you have restored the anthem to the USA page. Not sure your aware of the recent talk on the matter - but the inclusion of a sound file in the infobox has not gained acceptance for many reasons. You seem to be reverting the edit based on other articles. Not sure if your aware but they have been removed from most articles. The anthems were added massively and were reverted after the discussion that was pointed to. Need you to be aware that it will likely be removed during the GA review process. Why because not a parameter that has gain acceptance.Moxy (talk) 21:26, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

It's all Greek to me ...

(Actually, it isn't, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to use the phrase ... ) You said: "e.g. is more appropriate than cf. in this case.". Why? Yes, "At least one historian states that ... " makes "e.g." appropriate. But why "more appropriate"? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 12:59, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I felt the usage of "e.g." as in "for example" fit better than "cf." (which is more along the lines of compare/contrast, to my understanding). When it reads "At least one historian states that..." and then provides an example of such a historian, I believe it is more appropriate for "e.g." to be used instead of "cf." Should the historian given in parenthesis have a view contrary to the preceding statement, I would retain "cf." AnnicAllus (Talk) 17:05, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
