Hi, why did you deleted James Caviezel and Andy Warhol from the article about Slovak Americans? Caviezel grandmother was a Slovak and both Andy Warhol's parents came from Slovakia. Jasooon ( talk) 22:27, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
- One, unncessary pictures of everyone's favorite celebrities aren't very helpful to article like this and two, the formatting was off. Erikeltic ( Talk) 00:47, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- So, it means it is OK if I replace somebody with somebody else, right? (e.g. John Roberts for Andy Warhol). The only problem is that there should not be more than 6 people in the article? What do you mean by "formatting was off"? Thank you.

- On one of my computers the formatting was three in one row, one in another, two in the next, and another two at the bottom. In all of these "something-American" articles are pictures of people like this. The Norwegian one (until recently) was a perfect example of what happens when these things get out of control. There was probably 20 headshots in there. I'm certainly not the authority as to "who's in and who's out", but I keep an eye out on several of these wikis to make sure they don't spiral out of control--which they easily and often do. I think the good rule is that the pics should represent a wide spectrum of people of significance. I'm a-okay with replacing John Roberts w/ Andy Warhol because Joe Sestak is already in the picture, but to add James Caviezel seems unnecessary to me because his "significance" within the Slovak-American community seems rather limited. Also, adding him we would mean the article has three actors as the example of Slovak Americans and that seems too much. That's kind of my take on it. Erikeltic ( Talk) 11:12, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Source doesn't support the claim of the article; the Slovak ethnicity of Jelky.
This article claims the widow of Maurice (Moric) Benyovsky (Benovsky) lived in America until her death in 1815. According to http://www.angelfire.com/mi4/polcrt/MABeniowski.html she returned to Slovakia (then in Hungary) later in 1786, after her husband's death. I have in my possession a letter addressed to her there in 1793 (at Neutra, now Nitra). If she indeed remained in America (which seems unlikely), citation and evidence should be given.

If you are of Slovak descent, do you have to be born in America to be considered Slovak-American or do you become Slovak-American when you obtain a citizenship? 92.245.5.72 ( talk) 02:52, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
