Talk:Alexander Roda Roda

Jewish?
Classifying Roda Roda as a Jewish writer may be seen by a malevolent onlooker as a racist statement. Fact is: R.R. received catholic baptism in 1894.

 * Following the series of edits on 5 April 2012, he's not only Jewish again, he's also declared to be Croatian and Czech but no longer an Austrian. Those edits also reverted to language howlers like "He chosed his surname" and several obvious and severe cases of WP:OVERLINK. Furthermore, those edits reverted to a style incompatible with MOS:BIO, restored a dead external link and added an image which diminishes the layout of such a short article. I suggest to revert these edits. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:47, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Good day! From what I can see, Austrian still stands in the article. I have added some more categories regarding his Austrian origin and his conversion to Roman Catholicism. He is declared Czech because he was born in what is now Czech Republic, he is declared Croatian because he spent quite a bit of his life in Croatia, Osijek which he claimed to be his homeland and town until his death. For Jewish matter, on almost all WP:BIO articles about people who convereted to Roman Catholicism from Judaism still stands Category: (nation) Jews. This for me is appropriate, because being the Jew can't be only reduced to ethnoreligious group. What about Jewish nation? Wikipedia article Jews claimes that Jewish people, are a nation and an ethnoreligious group, so I don't see why that should be a problem?
