Talk:Ukrainian Americans

message: I can't tell if this is an NPOV issue or a joke. The largest communities of Ukrainian-Americans are in Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, New York, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and North Dakota. How on earth did Hallandale make the list. Northport, maybe, but that's on the other side of Florida. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 167.83.10.20 (talk) 19:50, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Kateryna Yushchenko's picture should be removed from the infobox.
Since she took Ukrainian citzenship, it directly contradicts what a Ukrainian American is.
Look at the first line of this topic. She really is a Ukrainian born in the U.S.A. Brudder Andrusha (talk) 01:13, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Since the Harry F. Sinclair House is owned by the Ukrainian Institute of America, it would be very informative if an article could be created about the Institute.

message: Which do we go by? Like, if someone is on the books as having Ukrainian parentage, but they self-identify as like, Polish (for example), do they still count? I mean, they wouldn't be diaspora, but their parents would...so...--Львівське (talk) 21:43, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that this article is simply about people who happen to have Ukrainian genes. However a parent is a close relative so they should count (i.e., it is notable that someone is the son or daughter of a Ukrainian even if they personally do not care). But merely having a Ukrainian-sounding name with no personal knowledge of Ukrainian roots or having been born in a geographic territory that is now Ukraine while identifying as a Jew or a Pole or whatever and not as a Ukrainian does not make a person an appropriate subject for this article about Ukrainian-Americans.Faustian (talk) 02:26, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, so generally, "if they have documented Ukrainian roots, they count"? The example I was using was Wayne Gretzky, who's father is Ukrainian-Canadian, but Wayne's on record for Polish for whatever reason.--Львівське (talk) 03:53, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say, yeah, if there is a reliable source saying that Gretsky's father was a Ukrainian-Canadian then he should be mentioned. Wayne's own self-identification should also be mentioned.Faustian (talk) 13:34, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

text: Is Wikipedia supposed to be objective? If my grandparents were born in France and Ireland, and I claim to be Polish, which am I? I think it should be objective; I should not be classified as Polish. Nimishillen (talk) 14:23, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

message: There are several Jewish people whose ancestors were from the territory that is Ukraine but who were no more Ukrainians than was Leon Trotsky.  Albert Camus isn't classified as an Algerian writer; Rudyard Kipling isn't considered an Indian; Mikhail Bulgakov isn't a Ukrainian; how are Steven Spielberg or Barbara Streisand Ukrainians?  Same with Igor Sikorsky, who was Polish-Russian, form a Russian-nationalist family who opposed Ukrainians. Faustian (talk) 16:15, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

message: Can people be considered Ukranian-Americans if their ancestors were from the current area of Ukraine? For example, Abraham Maslow's ancestor came from Kiev,"Russia" (at the time) and Terry Sawchuck's came from Galicia "Austria-Hungary". This is according to Wikipedia's articles on these guys. I think they could be classified as Ukranian. Nimishillen (talk) 14:38, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
