For discussion: Based on the content of the article, Arkani-Hamed would appear to be more accurately described as a Canadian physicist working in the United States than as an American physicist. The article explicitly states that he became a Canadian citizen. Since the U.S. doesn't allow for dual nationality, except for very particular circumstances, it seems likely he is no longer a U.S. citizen. Can anyone verify and clarify? --24.32.67.234 (talk) 22:58, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The US does allow for dual nationality... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.141.90.47 (talk) 21:52, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any information online, and I don't want to ask him in person. Since he's been working exclusively in the US for at least the past 15 years, I feel he could reasonably be described as either a Canadian physicist or an American physicist. I'll put him in both categories -- and leave him in the Iranian physicists category, though that seems a bit more tenuous. -David Schaich ^Talk/_Cont 04:53, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
