Ghirla asked elsewhere whether Andy Warhol should be added here. I'm not sure: was he born in the USA or Europe? Were his parents from the territory of modern Ukraine or Slovakia? (I presume they were Austro-Hungarian Ruthenian immigrants to the USA) Do any Ukrainians or Ukrainian groups claim him as their own?
Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - in the US.
If it is a debatable fact, then I would include him, along with a note indicating his Rusyn background, and leave the question of whether Rusyn is Ukrainian for discussion elsewhere. — Michael Z. 2006-02-28 00:21 Z

I have sourced the list in accordance with Wikipedia's No Original Research and Verifiability policies. Basically, anyone described by a reliable source as "Ukrainian" or "Ukrainian-American" (i.e. as opposed to "of Ukrainian descent", "Ukrainian mother", etc.) is on the list. Here are the people I couldn't find anything for. If you have a reliable source that fits that please restore the names:
