Talk:Goran Višnjić

message: Goran Visnjic's participation in Jane Austen Handheld has not been confirmed by the production company or indeed any other trade journal. To date, only Lilly Allen is officially signed up and  Russell Brand withdrew. There has been no mention of the production in the US or UK press since October/November 2007 and the purported start time for filming has long passed.  While Goran Visnjic  may appear as Mr. Darcy, a reference in a dubious tabloid magazine is, frankly,  as reliable as the rumors that he would appear in the latest Bond movie.  --Svetalna monsoon (talk) 19:15, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Article text:
: Now credited as Goran Visnjic in his English-language work, he adopted the simplified spelling of his name when he came to the United States in the late '90s, believing it would be more accessible to American audiences. [1]
: 1. ^ Allen, Ted (2001.) Who Is Goran Visnjic and What Does He Want? Esquire Magazine: March, 2001.
I don't believe this is a valid encyclopedic rationale for changing the title. His actual name (what's in his official documents, from the birth certificate onwards) did not change, it's merely stripped of diacritics in typical English-language texts, like it is done with any other such non-ASCII text.
It certainly does little to make his surname accessible to the audience, because the word remains practically impossible to pronounce in English in either form, it's simply foreign to the language.
So I suggest we move the article back to the title with diacritics, because losing them doesn't contribute anything, it just removes legitimate information. There should typically be no problems with access these days, because we already rely on readers having modern browsers that can render those UTF-8 characters in a wide variety of other articles, and the redirects will handle incoming traffic on all variants.
I should also throw in some relevant links: Wikipedia:Naming conventions, Wikipedia:Proper names, Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English), Wikipedia:Naming conventions (standard letters with diacritics).

message: Is there a reason why nearly identical images of the actor are being uploaded to the article? Yes, he's cute, but that's not a valid reason to overload page with nearly identical imagery. I have already warned the editor doing it about violating 3RR and invited him to discuss the issue here. Quis separabit? 14:13, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

message: "This is done all over WP with naturalized citizens." The precedent on wikipedia is, as already stated, that the secondary nationality is not listed in the lead section unless its notable for whatever reason (note that finagling with visas and work permits does not equal notability). Boris Johnson is not a "British-american". Lionel Messi is not listed as Spanish and Kyrie Irving is not listed as Australian. Its all usually covered in the personal life section.

replies: text: I disagree, moreover, none of your examples is comparable.  Goran Visnjic is an American citizen, resident and working in the US since the mid-90s. In cases such as this, the secdond nationality is appropriately included (see for example Nathan Fillion). Please refrain from reverting and gain consensus for your edit; I note you have had previous issues with edit warring over nationalistic edits. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 20:24, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
