<< review queue entry 51308 - submitted by 'm_boli' >> This is a proper name. In US legal and immigration policy circles his court case "US v. Wong Kim Ark" is famous. It is what established the rule that being born on US soil makes somebody a US citizen. I think he is sufficiently notable to be included in CEDICT, but I don't have confidence. Here is Baidu-Baike entry: http://baike.baidu.com/view/7729772.htm Wong Kim Ark was featured in an exhibit on human rights at the National Archives. Here is a short description: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/documented-rights/exhibit/section2/defining-rights.html Here is a public radio story on Wong and his court case: http://www.scpr.org/blogs/multiamerican/2011/01/19/7987/who-was-wong-kim-ark/ Editor: ok to go in something like wikipedia, but perhaps not cedict |
