Talk:Ray Hnatyshyn

Untitled
If this person is more commonly known as Ramon John Hnatyshyn rather than Ray Hnatyshyn then please move this article back. --mav 20:07 Dec 23, 2002 (UTC)

He is commonly called Ray, but the name Ramon John Hnatyshyn is no more obscure than Samuel Langhorn Clemens, and much of the current press coverage is under Ramon John. I'll move it back. - Montr&eacute;alais

Is there enough info out there to do an article on his father? -FZ 18:58, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

As a former Governor General, it would be appropriate to have Mr. Hnatyshyn's page titled as his full name, Ramon John Hnatyshyn. I see these comments are quite old so I would ask that the title be changed at this time to reflect Hnatyshyn's proper name. -- User:Jpetes Aug 1, 2013 —Preceding undated comment added 22:13, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Could someone add a phonetic help to the pronunciation of his name?
 * I've added the pronunciation as I've heard it pronounced by Canadian acquaintances. I can't find this confirmed anywhere, though. --Angr/undefined 14:46, 24 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Seems reasonable. I (a Winnipegger, and also a Ukrainian-speaker) pronounce an voiced /ɦ/ at the front in English, but it's so short that listeners may not hear it.  —Michael Z. 2005-10-24 17:06 Z 

Renaming the article
It seems some Wikipedians want to rename the article about the Turkmen president Gurbanguly Berdimuhammedow because they don't like the spelling of his name. Although Turkmen language is written with Latin alphabet and Turkmen language is the only official language of Turkmenistan, they can't support the idea that his name can be written with a "w" at thee end, because it comes etymologically from a Russian "в" and, in Russian names, we use to translitterate "в" by a "v". I think if this reason is accepted, we can consider that the "h" of Hnatyshyn comes from a Russian "г" and then this article will have to be renamed "Ray Gnatishin"! And the facts that Hnatyshyn is Canadian and not Russian and that Hnatyshy's name comes from Ukrainian and not from Russian won't be an argument since Berdimuhammedow is Turkmen and not Russian. If you have something to say about the subject, don't hesitate to post it here: Talk:Gurbanguly_Berdimuhammedow. Švitrigaila 23:53, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Assessment
I have assessed this article as Start Class, as it contains more detail and organization than would be expected of a Stub, and of mid importance, as I do feel that the subject of this article plays a strong role in the understanding of Canada and its history.

The Quiet Revolution happened in the 1980s?
I have removed the following: "These moves were a complete reversal of the policies of Hnatyshyn's predecessor, Jeanne Sauvé, who had, during the era of the Quiet Revolution and an active Front de libération du Québec, denied all access to Rideau Hall's property without explicit invitation" as it places events and phenomena of the 1960s in the 1980s. Whatever may have been the reasons for Sauvé closing Rideau Hall to the general public in the 1980s were not related to the FLQ, which effectively ceased to exist after the October Crisis of 1970 or the Quiet Revolution, which is the term used to describe various social, economic, political and cultural changes in Quebec society in the 1960s. Who knew there was an "active Front de libération du Québec" operating in the 1980s? I don't know if this was due to somebody being ill-formed or just mischievous, but whatever the reason, the above statement is wrong. --A.S. Brown (talk) 05:55, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

First name
Was his first name really Ramon? The Ukrainian Wikipedia calls him Roman, and Roman is a common name in Ukraine, while Ramon is a Spanish name. 85.178.65.144 (talk) 19:48, 2 October 2010 (UTC)


 * "Ramon" is surprising, but I do see government websites naming him as Ramon (https://archive.gg.ca/gg/fgg/bios/01/hnatyshyn_e.asp). I can't rule out circular sourcing though since that article was updated more recently. If someone has access to news archives, we could see how he was named in contemporary (pre-Wikipedia) articles about him. 98.33.89.204 (talk) 07:35, 12 August 2020 (UTC)


 * The article begins with this:
 * Ramon John Hnatyshyn (Роман Іванович Гнатишин, Roman Ivanovych Hnatyshyn)
 * It says "Ramon" in Latin script but "Роман" in Cyrillic script. Which is right? I seem to remember that his name was sometimes given as "Ramon" (and pronounced /'reɪmən/) in the media when he was in politics. So, which is right?! Kelisi (talk) 20:35, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
