[edit]

In the “Tributes” subsection of “Illness and death”, add something like: “At the end of the sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, a closing credit states “Dedicated to our friend Chadwik Boseman”.” 186.116.195.89 (talk) 12:48, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

#WakandaForever

[edit]

Is it worth mentioning that the then-trending hashtag #WakandaForever was used to pay tribute to him on social media, especially Twitter, in 2020? I can't find a suitable source for this for a GA but if someone can find one,idggvfccdvffvf

it'd be greatly appreciated. — VORTEX3427 (Talk!) 10:27, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"eighth person (and seventh man)"

[edit]

...becoming the eighth person (and seventh man) to receive a posthumous Academy Award acting nomination. The source states seventh actor (using the term in a gender-neutral manner-- of the seven actors they list, one is a woman and the rest (including Chadwick) are male). This would make him the seventh person/sixth man. Regardless, I think the person/man distinction is unimportant for the sentence and clutters it. It should be rewritten to state becoming the seventh actor to receive a posthumous Academy Award acting nomination. Maintaining acting nomination instead of something like Best Actor still keeps the sentence gender neutral. :3 F4U (they/it) 03:28, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lewis Hamilton was/is not the only mixed race driver in Formula 1

[edit]

"When Lewis Hamilton, the only mixed-race driver in Formula One, claimed pole position in qualifying at the 2020 Belgian Grand Prix, he dedicated his lap to Boseman, as well as his race win the following day.[186]"

In 2020, Red Bull driver Alex Albon (who is Thai/British) raced alongside Lewis Hamilton that season. It is false that Lewis Hamilton is "the only mixed race driver in Formula 1". 69.119.42.21 (talk) 13:55, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure about your statement that Albion is Thai/British & the claims of mixed ancestry etc but I'll just excise that statement out of the article text. What seems important to me is the dedication of the lap not necessarily Hamilton's family background. Shearonink (talk) 16:25, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
