 * Shouldn't Joan Rivers be described as a comedienne? -- llywrch (talk) 22:43, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
 * She could be, but like feminine gender forms such as aviatrix that have gone by the wayside, I think comedienne is being used less and less.--Milowent • hasspoken 00:29, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

 * You claim that basketball is "the only world sport that the US can truly claim as its own". Really? Basketball was invented by a Canadian, James Naismith. werldwayd (talk) 23:22, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
 * "The only world sport that the US can claim as its own". Invented by a Canadian. Hmph. --NellieBly (talk) 23:29, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Truly American, to be sure. It wasn't invented in Canada, ya know! --Milowent • hasspoken  00:32, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I am not sure it is appropriate to describe basketball as the world's 3rd most popular sport. I think you are judge popularity by audience rather than participation. I think the Asian martial arts like Tae Kwon Do are more popular in terms of participation.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:41, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I would wager that most people judge popularity by audience unless specifically stated otherwise. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 01:06, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
