What is the problem with him being Slovak? The wording Nmate is re-adding is out of place, there is no conflict between the sources that would legitimize the use of "some sources say this, some sources say that". The source explicitly states that he was of Slovak ancestry, it's a reliable source by a Hungarian, it should be definitely in the lead. Wladthemlat (talk) 09:12, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unless you are able to prove the importance of it, his ancestry has no place in the lead.--Nmate (talk) 05:26, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

now you're jsut being ridiculous, ancestry is always placed in the lead Wladthemlat (talk) 07:57, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

from WP:NAMES: "Ethnicity or sexuality should not generally be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability."--B@xter⁹ 09:11, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, you're right, although every single american here has their ethnicity mentioned as 'italian-american' or somesuch right in the lead. The current wording needs a grammar correction nevertheless. Wladthemlat (talk) 10:48, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have no problem with your edit. Mention his ethnicity if you want, I just noted this rule to you.--B@xter⁹ 11:09, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, and you were right, there's no point in arguing with something that is clearly stated in a policy / guideline. Thanks for pointing it out and discussing, it saves a lot of time and nerves. Wladthemlat (talk) 11:17, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Its not exact to use Slovak-Hungarian noble family. It was only Hungarian nobility in political sense in that time. Better is to use phrase "of Slovak origin" (Samofi (talk) 23:03, 8 May 2010 (UTC))[reply]
