Talk:Czechs

message: Following the new paragraph which was added to the lede I boldly swapped a few pics out of the infobox to add more balance, as it was entirely composed of males and mainly of politicians and statesmen. There could even be another row of pics added IMO. - filelakeshoe (t / c) 16:12, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Infobox 

message: First paragraph of first section. I'm not sure whether 1st century also requires "AD" to disambiguate if 6th century is:
The Czech people are the descendants of Celts and the Gallic tribe Boii mixed with West Slavs who settled in Bohemia, Moravia and Austria in the 6th century AD and Germanic Marcomanni and Quadi in the 1st century and later also Germans in the 13th century.

message: Someone is seemingly trying to categorically remove all people of Jewish origin from this article. Significant Jews are included in the infoboxes of nations such as Poles, Germans, Italians, Dutch people or Belgians. A Bohemian Jew, or Czech Jew, Franz Kafka, described also as "Czech novelist/author/writer","KAFKA, Franz (1883–1924): Czech
novelist.": Hutchinson 20th Century Encyclopedia (7th ed, 1986), p.
702."KAFKA, FRANZ (1883–1924): Czech author.": The New Standard
Jewish Encyclopedia (fifth ed, 1977, ed. Geoffrey Wigoder), p.
1101.
" Czech writer." one of the most significant figures in modern world literature, declared himself an atheist, active in Prague, the capital city of Kingdom of Bohemia (today's Czech Republic), after 1918 capital of Czechoslovakia, he was bilingual and spoke German with a Czech accent, he was a Czechoslovak citizen, his name comes from the Czech word "kavka", meaning "jackdaw", his parents come from Osek and Poděbrady.
I would like to raise the awareness of this issue among the editors of Wikipedia. People of Jewish origin were first deleted by User:Kohelet, who was subsequently blocked from editing. Directly after that, several IPs continued and the article was semi-protected. Subsequently a new account was created (User:Liongrande), dedicated exclusively to delete Jews. From here I would like to leave it up to other editors to express their opinions and discuss. Cheers--Der Golem (talk) 09:32, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: First, I'm not a sockpuppet of Kohelet, I just created this account on English Wikipedia after noticing this dispute, previously I occassionally edited under my IP. Second, I really don't understand what you're trying to achieve by copying and pasting the exact parts of the article about Franz Kafka which you think support your hypothesis. If you read the whole article, it would be crystal clear to you that Kafka wasn't a Czech. He was a German-speaking Jew, it's in the lead section. I don't know how else I should explain it to you. You've been told that multiple times by several people in this discusion. There doesn't exist a single source which would claim that Kafka was of Czech ethnicity.--Liongrande (talk) 14:49, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Franz Kafka was an Ashkenazi Jew. He didn't have any Czech ancestry and trying to insert him or any other Jew in the info box is a serious offence of WP:FRINGE. If you choose to that, then I'll leave a note at Wikipedia:No original research/Noticeboard for fringe theories. As for those articles, I'll have to send a report on that considering that the Poles page has a legion of Polish nationalists ready to revert those who change the collage.

thread_title:  Bohemian Jews and Czech Jews 

message: Is there a reference source for the claim that the Czech people are primarily descended from the Celts? Most main stream academic views on the subject, state that Czechs are part of the Western Slavs first, with a mixture of Germanic and Celtic influences. If I understand correctly the Czech language has very little if any Gaelic influence, and is very significantly similar to Polish or Slovak, unlike the German language that is very similar to the Irish language phonetically. (Bohemia and Poland. Chapter 20.pp 512-513. [in:] Timothy Reuter. The New Cambridge Medieval History: c. 900-c.1024. 2000) Perhaps, the first paragraph in the History section should be changed to more correctly reflect this. At this point, the statement is based on wishful thinking rather then any facts, especially that the "Celtic traits" probably entered the Czech population through the German colonists form western and southern regions of the Holy Roman Empire, not through direct mixing of of Slavic and Celtic tribes. --Bull-SX (talk) 11:42, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right. Its nonsense. Quite simply, there were no "Celts" in the region in the 7th century when Slavs colonized the region. In fact, there were no Celts in the 4th century, or the 2nd, as they had all become Germanic. from c. 0 AD Slovenski Volk (talk) 12:33, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

An anonymous IP has glossed Resttschechei as "remnants of Czechia"; however, this gloss does not appear in either of the sources currently cited. The URL citation "http://www.jpress.nli.org.il/..." (a search engine result, not a source per se) contains only the term Czechia in isolation but does not gloss Resttschechei and therefore fails verification. The cited RFE/RL source contains the gloss "remnants of the Czech lands". Doremo (talk) 13:14, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

message: This is a ticklish issue, and has been discussed elsewhere. I'm afraid that I don't have time to search out the discussions on other Slavic ethnic group talk pages as I'm about to log off and probably won't be around for a couple of days.
While I agree with the WP:KISS principle, the difference between keeping it simple and dumbing it down is a large one, and I don't believe it should be applied just in order to avoid POV pushes, or for POV pushing. Being overly simplistic is not informative for the reader. The Slavs are a large related group, just as are 'Germanic' and other groups: see Germans, Dutch people, etc. Simultaneously, articles on the various ethnic groups are not treated homogeneously throughout Wikipedia, so I believe there is good reason for consensus per article to be implemented before the next round of thundering through the infobox takes place. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 02:20, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

message: The lede should give some kind of cursory explanation of how Czechs came to be called Czechs (rather than Bohemians) and why. Or, if they always called themselves Czechs, then why we called them Bohemians. The way the lede is currently written, it sounds as though they just magically turned into Czechs from Bohemians overnight (in 1918 or whenever). Firejuggler86 (talk) 12:04, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
