Talk:Katie Mack (astrophysicist)

Current Employment at NCSU
Dr. Mack's current employment at the University of North Carolina State University needs to be updated in the infobox, but I don't know how to parse Wikidata. kencf0618 (talk) 02:21, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Nationality/citizenship/birth place
I cannot find any good sources for Mack's nationality, citizenship, or birth place. Context:


 * English Wikipedia
 * Infobox has United States of America as birthplace since December 2023, but without a source: Special:Diff/1226468150
 * Categorization: multiple categories by nationality. It started in 2017 with, but was changed to on the the same day.
 * Wikidata had Australia as citizenship without sources since 2019: wikidata:Special:Diff/867500650, I deleted it today.

I could only find the following mentions of countries in databases:
 * 1) https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8927-1795, which lists Canada in "Countries", citing "Katherine Mack 2016-01-24". However, Orcid doesn't clarify what it means by "Countries" – residence, birth place, citizenship?
 * 2) * Side note: Mack's LinkedIn page says "Waterloo, Ontario, Canada" as the location, and the official website is registered with a Canadian registrar (source: )
 * 3) French database https://www.idref.fr/253671094 has Pays : Etats-Unis d'Amérique // Date de naissance : 1981, which Google translates to Country: United States of America // Date of birth: 1981
 * 4) A Polish database https://dbn.bn.org.pl/descriptor-details/9811738674405606 has Obywatelstwo Australia, which translates to Citizenship Australia (see also interwikis of pl:Obywatelstwo), but it uses Wikidata as source for this information.
 * 5) German National Library lists Land: USA (XD-US), translation: Country: USA (XD-US).
