move edit

I recommend we move this to Gentlemen's Agreement of 1907 and have this page redirect to Gentlemen's agreement, which more people are likely to be looking for. Jun-Dai 05:54, 21 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

This makes sense. Having two pages: Gentlemen's Agreement and Gentlemen's agreement is unnecessarily confusing. My only question is what year to use in the reference. The agreement was not a formal treaty but a series of understandings that were developed in 1907 and 1908. So, is it the Gentlemen's Agreement of 1907, the Gentlemen's Agreement of 1908, or the Gentlemen's Agreement of 1907-1908? Is there consensus about how historians refer to it?

Personally, if I heard Gentlemen's Agreement of 1908 I would think of the Canadian version of the same, the Hayashi-Lemieux 'Gentlemen's Agreement' (https://pier21.ca/research/immigration-history/gentlemens-agreement-1908) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.73.108.194 (talk) 19:42, 21 May 2020 (UTC)Reply


In a chapter from Strangers from a Different Shore: The History of Asian Americans by Ronald Takaki (1989), I see this called the "1908 Gentlemen's Agreement" (see p. 27). This might be one piece of evidence in favor of calling it the Gentlemen's Agreement of 1908. Rgrilloavila (talk) 17:37, 21 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Vandals were here? edit

Has this article had some extraneous material inserted recently? Who do you report this to to get it cleaned up?

Merge two "History" sections edit

Having two sections for "History" is redundant. They should be merged into one section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nwalters512 (talkcontribs) 01:27, 27 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

8.5 Mw edit

Whatever this happens to mean, it should be linked to a defining article. 99.247.1.157 (talk) 03:24, 12 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
