A fact from Perkins v. Elg appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 18 February 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that in 1939 it was ruled that a child born in the United States to alien parents retains U.S. citizenship, even if the parents take the child back to their home country?

If anyone has any information on what subsequently happened to Elg, I'd love it included in a "Subsequent events" section, for the human-interest angle. Tempshill (talk) 23:39, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Why did the US government persue this case ?[edit]
So this issue has already been resolved with Steinkalers case, and then with Wong's case, so why did the US Government persue this issue all the way through three courts ? Was this woman notorious in some way ?Eregli bob (talk) 18:38, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
