The german version of this page calls him Muehlenberg. Which is correct Muhlenberg, Muehlenberg or perhaps Mühlenberg!? -- Camaeron ( talk) 19:39, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
The page cites no sources to back up any of its statements. How do we know whether the page itself isn't a urban legend wannabe itself?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.143.99.76 ( talk) 14:29, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
I don't understand what is the legend and what are the historical facts in this article, the distinction is not made. Was there ever a vote or not? -- Lgriot ( talk) 09:11, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
This petition was rejected by a 42 to 41 vote and Muhlenberg (of German descent himself, who had abstained from that particular vote) was later quoted as having said "the faster the Germans become Americans, the better it will be." It cannot be verified whether Muhlenberg cast the deciding vote. [1] [2]
The article contradicts itself, as the two sources contradict each other. He could not had casted the deciding vote if he abstained (no vote). A better statement would be that his abstention was a deciding factor. But even if he did not abstain, the vote would be a split vote (42-42), with the same outcome. As Speaker of the House he could have set the casting vote, if there was already a tie.
So, what did he really do? - geraki T L 14:14, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Is History and Achievements of the Germans in America the title of an official English translation of Löher's book Geschichte und Zustände der Deutschen in Amerika? I'm asking because "Achievements" isn't really an accurate translation of "Zustände"; it should be "Conditions". -- Niels Wrschowitz ( talk) 22:57, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
