Presidential Citizens Medal
I believe the section on this page saying that Bush gave Ali both the Presidential Citizens Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005 is mistaken - Ali received the Citizens Medal from Clinton in 2001[1], and the only cited websites for those sentences only reference him receiving the Medal of Freedom.NotAaronC.Hughes (talk) 00:14, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Rosa Ali removed
As per this article about a hoax [2] that inserted "rosa ali" into the article (diff here), the following edit was made by @Gobonobo: to remove a 10 year-old inaccuracy. -- Fuzheado | Talk 12:34, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Closer to 8 years, but who's counting? :) Seriously, this was a pretty reprehensible act by Deacon. But it demonstrates how sneaky vandalism can get, and that we need to try harder to weed it out at the earliest possible point. If any statement of fact seems even the slightest off-the-wall, and it doesn't have a cite, it should at least have {{Citation needed}} slapped next to it.

The insertion included a youth club, a rose and a child. I have removed "A youth club in Ali's hometown was named after him." -- PBS (talk) 19:08, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's the only part that rung true, but alas, without a cite, it should be gone too. I'm not sure if there's such a club or not. Stevie is the man!Talk • Work 19:19, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
