message: Could anyone give here sources about origin of the word Robot? I think that this word comes from Slovak language. If you understand Slovak, please read this article for further info:  --Ondrejk 10:46, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin of word Robot 

message: Should Čapek be included in this category? I mean he was Czech, but when he was born, it was all under the Austro-Hungarian control and when he died, it was Czechoslovakia.
Shouldn't the group be "People from Czechoslovakia"?

thread_title:  People from the Czech Republic 

message: I fear that a high school performance does not qualify for inclusion, under our notability guidelines. There are thousands of performances taking place in thousands of high schools, why do you think this is particularly significant?   Salvio ( Let's talk 'bout it!) 14:17, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

message: We edit the article to talk about the tradition of leaving robots toys in Capek's grave Soon pics and references. This has big importance in Prague's popular culture, please don't erase.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.18.136.173 (talk) 17:10, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  ''A quick edit'' 

message: The third paragraph of Biography contains, as of now, what I believe to be serious general inaccuracies, presumably attributed to Klíma, whose book I do not have available. (And there is no “look inside” on this one on Amazon.)
I have discovered in the article history that it’s been The Interior who believes the following claims can be sourced from Klíma…
[And I have now pruned from my original introduction the more heated bits… though leaving intact the points below. 21:33, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Correct, not accurate, removed. The Interior (Talk) 00:08, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

text: Will remove this. The Interior (Talk) 00:26, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

text: Klima does make a point of comparing Kafka and Capek, who were writing contemporaneously. In his first chapter, "Three Geniuses" Klima focuses on Capek, Kafka, and Hasek, and their place in evolution of written Czech.  I think, as you point out, that the German influence is important here - Czech writers had to combat its influence.  Whether Kafka was truly a "Czech" writer, I'm not sure.  But Klima seems to be. The Interior (Talk) 00:25, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

text: This needs to be re-written. Klima holds that this revival was flagging by the time of Capeks birth.  He does credit Capek, along with Hasek, for a revival. "It is thanks to Capek that the written Czech language grew closer to the language people actually spoke". (p.18, para 3) The Interior (Talk) 00:25, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed some of the contested info.  I added a paragraph in the writing section that hopefully accurately describes Klima's assertions on Capek (without my erroneous generalizations about Czech history ;)).  Thanks for pointing out these problems, The Interior (Talk) 00:46, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Now, maybe some help on drafting a lead paragraph for the article? That template's gotta go. The Interior (Talk) 00:48, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Presumed Klima’s Analysis 

message: Shouldn't the "Outline" and the "Bibliograph" of Capek's work be merged? It would be more helpful to have them together
under one section, especially as they simply repeat information. It should have the title and genre of
each of Capek's works, with their genre (play, novel etc.) and translations. 176.61.94.25 (talk) 11:42, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bibliography 

message: Čapek is not English. There is no such letter as Č in English alphabet.
If there is an established policy to handle this kind of situations, kindly refer me to it please.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.127.162.179 (talk) 16:32, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
