Well, Emma Goldman wasn't Lithuanian - she dind't speek Lithuanian, her parents were jews. So I can not see a reason why she should be listed on this page among real Lithuanians. By the way, Pilsudsky was Polish, not Lithuanian.
I think we should include Antanas Mockus - famous excentric mayor of Bogota:
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antanas_Mockus
Virgus Volertas is merely a kid playing high school basketball. He is by NO means a famous Lithuanian athlete.
think, 2005-02-13 18:18 edits are not entirely correct.
Prof. Vytautas Landzbergis was never assigned title "The President of Republic of Lithuania". Yes, he was head of state right after 1990-03-11. Yes, there is a law, which guarantee to him the same benefits as for people who were presidents. But he do not have title of President.
I think that you people can't spell or type because the way you spell speak is horrible and didn't isn't spelled like that so if you think you are so smart then you might want to check your spelling.
Alfred Naujocks (SS-Sturmbannführer, commander of attack on Gleiwitz radio station (pretext for Second World War in Europe) should probably be removed from the list. Naujocks was not a Lithuanian, he was a German born in Kiel. If anyone has proof that Naujocks was Lithuanian please provide reference. Sigitas 09:42, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Currently it seems that a number of people are incorrectly included outside of the "Related to Lithuania by birthplace (before 1918) or citizenship (after 1918) or origin" section (particularly a number of Lithuanian-American sportspeople in the "Sports" section). It seems they should be moved to the "Related" section, unless I am misunderstanding something. I find the title of that section a little confusing... heqs 06:54, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Briscoe was not the original family name, can someone enter the original name before if it was changed? -- jmb ( talk) 15:49, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Well, as you know, Czesław Miłosz always refused to identify himself as either a Pole or a Lithuanian, he considered himself both Polish and Lithuanian. Such a remark beside his name wouldn't be pointless, I guess.
By the way, I'm a little puzzled you didn't put Adam Mickiewicz's name on the list. As a Pole, I wouldn't mind to see his name here, he wrote in Polish, that's true, but he always declared his affection towards Lithuania. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aajmik ( talk • contribs) 17:31, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
There are a number of entries in the list that in contravention of wikipedia rules appear on the list even though they lack a wikipedia article and an appropriate ref. Per WP:LISTPEOPLE, there must be an article on the subject, or a ref that indicates the notability of the subject--or the entry is to be deleted. In accordance with the guideline, they will be deleted. If editors wish to review what has been deleted, they can click the History tab of the article.
