Pd THOR recently added a {{non-free}} to the Career section of the article, and I have removed it. There are only three images used in the section and I would hardly three images as an "excessive" amount:
Each image is there for a visual to its respective subject - Milla's films The Fifth Element and Resident Evil, and her album The Divine Comedy. All have the correct copyright information as well. Also, the images fit within WP:NFCC policy. In respect to WP:NFC, the album cover is "for identification only in the context of critical commentary of that item" and the film captures are visuals for "critical commentary and discussion of the cinema and television". - Lindsey8417 ( talk) 02:10, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
I really enjoyed reading this; Jovovich is a personal favorite of mine, so it's awesome to see her article in such great shape. It passes all of the Good Article Criteria in that it is well written for the most part, it is factually accurate and verifiable, it is comprehensive, neutral and stable and well illustrated with properly tagged images. I have various nitpicky suggestions and comments, however, in order to improve the prose and readability to better fulfill the first criteria:
Great, great work. Once these issues are taken care of, I'll pass the article so it can go on to bigger and better things! María ( habla con migo) 17:02, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

This is not an official site. It is in fact a ripoff of the official site. Please do not re-add the link without discussing and gaining consensus here. – Mike. lifeguard | @en.wb 23:39, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
"Jovovich's father was incarcerated for most of her childhood for partaking in an illegal operation with medical insurance; he was given a twenty year sentence in 1994". Since she must have been at least 18 when he was sentenced, how can the five years from 1994 to 1999 count as "most of her childhood"? Moletrouser ( talk) 13:41, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
The current pronunciation is /ˈjɔvɔviʧ/, but the correct Serbian pronunciation should be more like /ˈjɔvɔvitɕ/ (note the soft Ć, instead of the hard Č). I believe this is also the pronounciation used by English speakers. Should I change it? Admiral Norton ( talk) 23:06, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Help! (This is supposed to be part of the previous section.

I can't write any of the symbols in the actual article as I do not know how, but the last character given for the pronunciation of Milla's second name has no equivalent in the IPA chart produced when one clicks on her name. 90.240.198.70 ( talk) 00:58, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Oh, this is silly - I've now made a new section, deleted a third, produced a massive line that spans the universe, and all I'm trying to do is comment. Come on - couldn't this be easier to use?
In the interview to Russian Nights she clearly said that her mother was of Russian ethnicity, and that she never forgets of her Russian roots. I wasn't the one who brought that reference it was here long ago, here it is.
Neverthless, dispite no references given in the article for that, someone wrote that her mother was of mixed Russian and Ukrainian ethnicity. I don't say it's a lie but no links were brought for the Ukrainian ethnicity on her mothers side. If her mother also had Ukrainian ethnicity, please bring a link.
Since we do have a link for her partial Russian ethnicity I also added her to the Russian-Americans category. I'm sexy, I'm hot, I'm everything your not ( talk) 21:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
In the view interviews I saw of her on youtube she has called herself "born in Russia" and in another one "born in the Ukraine". I got the idea she either doesn't care what her ethnicity is or doesn't know or she deserves better interviews :). I think that there where always some Ukrainians living in every town in Imperial Russia west of the Ural Mountains :) Anyhow I consider everybody who lives/or lived a long time in Ukraine a Ukrainian.

I noticed that reference 4 in the main article (to a youtube video of her Married With Children episode) was misformatted. I was going to fix it using a better citation template, but the link is also dead ("unavailable video"). No surprise there. There are many better references to this episode (#63, Season 4, Episode 6, 1989, "Fair Exchange"). Here is a link [3] with some screen shots. There are others including her official site and imdb. Sorry but I don't have time to edit this nor time to discuss how the consensus would be for which one to use. Just wanted to point it out that the current one is garbled and 404. This is a great article, well done. Xblkx ( talk) 06:22, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
About 5 or 6 years ago she took part in a Russian talk show "Женский взгляд Оксаны Пушкиной"(Woman's look by Oxana Pushkina) along with her mother. Her mother spoke only Russian. When Milla tried to reply in Russian she realized that her knowledge of it was really bad and continued in English. Then both of them sad that she has simply forgotten it. 70.55.132.127 21:03, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
The articles says,
The Fifth Element Soundtrack (1997) - "Little Light of Love" (with RXRA),
under "Compilations, soundtracks and albums featuring Jovovich". However the only info I can find about this, on IMDB [4] and www.millaj.com [5] contradicts that statement. Allmusic.com's listings for "performers" for that album/song only says RXRA, no mention of Jovovich. So, removed the line from the article since it had no citation.

Milla jovovich in an article published in 2002, she was said to be Miuccia Prada's muse and in an article published in 2003, Harpers & Queen magazine claimed Jovovich was
Gianni Versace's "favourite supermodel".In 2004, Jovovich topped Forbes magazine's "Richest Supermodels of the World" list, earning a reported $10.5 million.In 2006, Jovovich was picked up by Spanish clothing line Mango as their new spokesmodel and is currently featured in their ad campaigns;she can also be seen in ads for Etro. She has noted that "Modeling was never a priority"and it instead enables her "to be selective about the creative decisions [she] make[s]".She is now recently been the face of L'Oréal for many ad campaigns.
Chikobizarro 23:57, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
She was on a magazine cover the year BEFORE her mother "resorted to cleaning houses to earn money"? She dropped out of school in 7th grade at age 12 to focus on modeling but went back and graduated from high school at age 16? Something hinky here. Many of the sources are articles based on interviews with the subject and therefore unreliable. Status as a good article should be reassessed. 96.35.172.222 ( talk) 21:49, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

The "Recent and future roles (2007–present)" section says, Jovovich was set to portray Amalia Bezhetskaya in The Winter Queen in 2007, however, with the announcement of her pregnancy early that year, the film was postponed until Summer 2008. This must be from a very old edit, as I'm not sure Winter Queen has even made it to post-production. Anyone know what's going on with this film? Latest news is it'll be distributed by Seven Arts and GFM, but details are still vague as to when.— Biosketch ( talk) 19:37, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Who will be translating this article into English?-- Guzikov96 ( talk) 13:21, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
To avoid edit warring about whether Jovovich is anti-communist or not, a few reminders. The article must adhere to WP:BLP. Publishing uncertain information a person's political stance is not acceptable, sources are absolutely necessary. Original research or synthesis isn't enough to verify her alleged "anti-communist" sentiment. Also, if she's to be included in a category related to anti-communism, it should be explained in the article body so the readers know why she is in the category. Zakhalesh ( talk) 19:11, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
I guess we need a topic here since this slow burn edit war is neverending. My understanding is that she was Ukrainian born and now a naturalized American citizen. We cover the birth nationality in the body of the article but it seems appropriate to me to call her an American actress as that is her citizenship. But we don't really mention that she was naturalized in the article. Perhaps finding a source and noting that will help? Millahnna ( talk) 07:56, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
It's rather silly questioning this, especially when it's only one IP edit warring, screaming and trying to bully people into his/her preferred version. Considering the fact that she has lived in America for 30 years, it also leads me to question whether it matters if she is a citizen or not, or just has permanent residency. Nymf hideliho! 22:37, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
To summarize the discussion for when this comes up again, the current consensus/what's in the article now is to not mention her nationality or where she was born in the lead paragraph. The reasons are as follows:
Until some reliable sources can be found it's best to not even mention her nationality or birth place in the lead paragraph. SQGibbon ( talk) 21:27, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the summary SQG. In looking at her official web site FAQ, I noticed that she identifies ethnically as Montenegrian but no note of her citizenship is made. I put in a question to see if she'd update that on her page. SO maybe we'll get something eventually there to deal with this. Millahnna ( talk) 23:23, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

People, there are decaf brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing. She is an Actress who lives and acts in America, making her an American Actress. She was born in the Ukraine. At the time, it may have been part of the UUSR, however; and be that as it may be, it still leaves her coming into this world IN THE UKRAIN. Which was a, theoretically, self-soveriegn entity under the central USSR government, a member of a republic. Think of it as saying she was born in Kansas, yes, it's part of the USA, but it's also KANSAS. Also a member of a different republic. It all works. Only dedicated nit pickers need pick these nits.

All that's left now is some minor formatting issues. Jaan added her nationality to the infobox and the lead paragraph with the citation listed above. I added a small bit of text to the "Early life" section using the same citation. Generally speaking we don't use footnotes in infoboxes and lead paragraphs as that information is supposed to also be in the main body of the article which is where the citations are linked to. There's nothing wrong with having that same footnote about her nationality in three spots but it's just not necessary (and aesthetically it kind of clutters things up a bit). So unless anyone objects, and it's really not that big of a deal either way, I'm going to get rid of the footnotes in the infobox and lead paragraph. SQGibbon ( talk) 02:52, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
I had the good fortune to meet Mrs. Jovovich at the Resident Evil: Apocalypse wrap party (a get-together they have after filming is done) back in late 2003 thanks to a friend who worked on the film. I did manage to get in a question to her about her musical career, asking if she planned on releasing another album. Her reply was that due to the negative criticism she received for The Divine Comedy, she had no plans on putting out another commercial album, preferring instead to release music via her website. I obviously cannot cite myself so this cannot be added to her Wiki page, but I can mention it here where her fans might find it. X3J11 ( talk) 15:45, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Her given name is spelled "Milla," however, in the url address to the article, it's spelled, "Mila."
I would fix the spelling of the url address to the article, but I have no idea how to fix that.
Right now, I'm applying a correction to a
Beavis and Butthead article section that references Milla Jovovich as a Featured Video (Episode 159), and I will proceed as everything stands at this moment. If someone with the know-how can fix the url spelling, it would be much appreciated; thank you.

Can someone please help me put the quote and it’s translation as part of the reference to the fact that Mila’s mum was Russian? I just figured for those who don’t speak Russian it would be good to see a translation.
[6] “У меня русская мама, она была знаменитой актрисой в СССР (Галина Логинова. — Газета). И первые книги, которые я прочитала, были на русском языке. Я воспитывалась в атмосфере русской классической театральной школы. Искусство, построенное на системе Станиславского, — это наиболее реалистичное искусство. И современное кино стоит на этих же принципах. Ведь русскому человеку важно докопаться до правды. Это и есть основа русской культуры. Я об этом никогда не забываю, тем более что у меня русские корни.”
“I have Russian mother, she was a famous actress in the USSR (Galina Loginova). And the first books, which I read, were in Russian. I was raised in the atmosphere of the Russian classical theatre school. The art, built on the system of Stanislavsky – that’s the most realistic art. And the modern cinema stands on the same principle. A Russian person wants to find the truth. This is the base of the Russian culture. I never forget it, especially since I have Russian roots.”

I seem to be in a dispute about the sentence in this article: " I am a strong Ukrainian girl". According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking: "Appropriate links provide instant pathways to locations within and outside the project that are likely to increase readers' understanding of the topic at hand". The topic at hand in the sentence "I am a strong Ukrainian girl" is Ukrainians (the topic at hand in the sentence "I am a strong girl born in Ukraine" is Ukraine). Hence edits like this one are incorrect. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 18:31, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
This has nothing to do with "ethnic groups"; but with linguistics... The topic at hand in the sentence "I am a strong Ukrainian girl" is Ukrainians. According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking: "Appropriate links provide instant pathways to locations within and outside the project that are likely to increase readers' understanding of the topic at hand". You are ignoring my arguments here above completly. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 19:21, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
So you don't know what Jovovich meant when she said "I am a strong Ukrainian girl"? Or are you avoiding my arguments again? — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 19:54, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
The topic at hand in the sentence "I am a strong Ukrainian girl" is Ukrainians; hence the re-direct should be to Ukrainians. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 20:09, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
You don't know that.... But is is irrelevant what she meant: According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking: "Appropriate links provide instant pathways to locations within and outside the project that are likely to increase readers' understanding of the topic at hand". The Manual of Style does not talk about "The links should provide instant pathways to locations within and outside the project at the choosing of the subject of the Wikipedia article". For the readers linking to Ukrainians will increase readers' understanding of the topic at hand ( Milla Jovovich) more then a link to Ukraine (in this part of the article). — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 21:41, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
You don't know that she didn't meant Ukrainian ethnicity (because she is not Ukrainian by ethnicity). You decided (for her) that she did not meant that without consulting her on it. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 21:57, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks Jaan! You where right. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 20:36, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
We at Wikipedia work with sources.... We report what the sources say! Not what we think they say... There have been millions of people who have claimed that they are something which they where not.... and later claimed something else. Why something claims something is not the issue here on Wikipedia; it is about finding sources who say why they say something, not about personal opinions and personal interpretations why somebody says something. That is what I tried to teach you (in a bit roundabout way I agree...). — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 20:36, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Mila Jovovich is the daughter of a serbian montenegrin Bogić Jovovic and her mother Galina Loginova Jovović from ukraine. the german article already includes this information. The Article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasojevi%C4%87i also descriibes this fact and already lists Mila as one of the Notable descendants of the Vasojevići tribe. I would like to add this information. Vuk3k ( talk) 19:19, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
First of all, the correct translation in this case is clan, not tribe. Her father is montenegrin, as Vasojevići is a montenegrin clan. Serbs do not have a clan social structure, it is not-existent in Serbia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.228.110.237 ( talk) 12:53, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
It is true that there is no "clan social structure" in Serbia. No one said that there is one, no one claimed that her father is from Serbia. We only claim that her fathers ethnicity is Serbian, because as you might know there are a lot of Serbs in Montenegro and Vasojevici are actually a Serbian clan as most of its members declare as Serbs. You shouldn't mix ethnicity and citizenship. Her fathers family has origins in Montenegro but he was actually born and raised in Serbia, in Kosovo. 217.24.139.42 ( talk) 20:40, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Her family was originally a part of a clan (or tribe) of people of Serbian ethnicity that inhabited a part of Montenegro. The term Montenegrin is purely geographical in this case, when it comes to ethnicity there is no doubt that Vasojevici are of Serbian ethnicity. 94.250.79.14 ( talk) 18:55, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
Given its reliance on fan magazines, the article too much reflects their tone. Every detail that has been published (e.g., quotes on watching video games as a child) does not need to be reproduced here. Try to stick to main points. Shortened Lead to have it be more of a summary; more needs to be edited out. Parkwells ( talk) 14:28, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
Well, this is going too far. Sources are saying that Milla is Serbian, while some users are changing to Montenegrin. Why??? If you cant choose which ethnicity of her father is, than change it to Yugoslavian. -- MisterBean ( talk) 17:14, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
Perhaps people could add sources for each sentence, focusing on what Jovovich and father say about themselves, which should be given priority unless there's something incongruous about what they say. Sarah (talk) 19:11, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
"Milla Jovovich was born ... the daughter of Bogić Jovović, a Montenegrin pediatrician ..."
"Milla Jovovich was born ... the daughter of Bogić Jovović, a Serbian pediatrician ..."
(Technically the most accurate statement because in 1981 there was no "Serbia" or "Montenegro"):
"Milla Jovovich was born ... the daughter of Bogić Jovović, a Yugoslavian pediatrician ..." -- Taivo ( talk) 21:15, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
"She identifies as Russian, Ukrainian, Montenegrin, and American."
"She identifies as Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, and American."
Omit any mention of parents' nationality/citizenship, or which nationality/ethnicity she identifies as.
Jovovich is the voice actor in English version, not the original Russian version. Does it need to be explained in the "Role" and "Notes" fields of table? I think a clarification about that movies is good. -- Zyma ( talk) 00:45, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Her official website bio clearly says:
″Milla Jovovich (pronounced "mee-luh" "yo-vo-vitch") was born December 17, 1975 in Kyiv (Kiev), Ukraine to father Bogdanovitch Jovovich (Serbian doctor) and mother Galina Loginova Jovovich (Russian actress). In 1981, Milla and her family left the Soviet Union and moved to London, England and then to Sacramento, California, ultimately settling in Los Angeles.″
Source: http://www.millaj.com/bio.shtml
(IMDb biography page claims the same:
"Her Serbian father, Bogdan Jovovich, was a medical doctor in Kiev."
Source: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000170/bio)
However, some users like TaivoLinguist constantly cite her official website wrongly and falsely claim that her father is Montenegrin, although there isn't word Montenegrin even mentioned on the cited site!
The other cited site, which is in Serbian and they don't understand it, is stating the same fact about her father! However these facts do not prevent TaivoLinguist, Nymf and other users to vandalise the page!
Several others wikipedia pages also state that Milla Jovovich is of Serb origin:
/info/en/?search=Vasojevi%C4%87i#Notable_people
/info/en/?search=Serbian_American
/info/en/?search=List_of_Serbian_Americans#Actors
Are they going to vandalise these wikipedia articles too, with the help of SlimVirgin?
Her article further says that her paternal family's estate was in Zlopek near Peć, Serbia, and that her paternal great-grandfather, Bogić Camić Jovović, was a flag-bearer of the Vasojevići clan.
And what is Vasojevići clan (or tribe), you may wonder? Well the answer is:
"The Vasojevići tribe (Serbian Cyrillic: Васојевићи, Vasojevići, pronounced [ʋâso̞je̞ʋit͡ɕi]) is the largest Serb tribe in Montenegro."
Source: /info/en/?search=Vasojevi%C4%87i
Even her last name Jovović is listet in list of brotherhoods of Vasojevići clan last names. Are you going to change that as well?
Compromise solution may be Montenegrin Serb as nationality of her father and her.
In historiography, the Orthodox people of Montenegro were called Serbs. In the constitutions of the Principality of Montenegro and Kingdom of Montenegro, the Montenegrin people's ethnonym was Serbs. With the formation of Socialist Yugoslavia, the censuses showed a majority of people declaring as Montenegrins.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Milla Jovovich's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I really think that the Russian/Ukrainian section goes way too much into detail for comfortable reading. It should be shortened so that gets straight to the point because so much gets lost in translation with how long the section is. 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣cellsman 00:02, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
I think this should be edited. Just for consistency. Many Americans who have moved overseas are referred to as American-etc. She was not born nor raised there, granted she is American by citizenship, it would be like referring to say Tim Matheson solely as a “British” actor, since he moved there and is now a British citizen. The fact that her ethinticity and upbringing were not American, should stand for something. I’m just saying American should not her her sole claimed ethinticity/nationality, even if just for consistency with other articles on Wikipedia. 2001:8003:4028:AE00:DC9B:DCCB:2A4C:11EA ( talk) 08:31, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Pd THOR recently added a {{non-free}} to the Career section of the article, and I have removed it. There are only three images used in the section and I would hardly three images as an "excessive" amount:
Each image is there for a visual to its respective subject - Milla's films The Fifth Element and Resident Evil, and her album The Divine Comedy. All have the correct copyright information as well. Also, the images fit within WP:NFCC policy. In respect to WP:NFC, the album cover is "for identification only in the context of critical commentary of that item" and the film captures are visuals for "critical commentary and discussion of the cinema and television". - Lindsey8417 ( talk) 02:10, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
I really enjoyed reading this; Jovovich is a personal favorite of mine, so it's awesome to see her article in such great shape. It passes all of the Good Article Criteria in that it is well written for the most part, it is factually accurate and verifiable, it is comprehensive, neutral and stable and well illustrated with properly tagged images. I have various nitpicky suggestions and comments, however, in order to improve the prose and readability to better fulfill the first criteria:
Great, great work. Once these issues are taken care of, I'll pass the article so it can go on to bigger and better things! María ( habla con migo) 17:02, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

"Jovovich's father was incarcerated for most of her childhood for partaking in an illegal operation with medical insurance; he was given a twenty year sentence in 1994". Since she must have been at least 18 when he was sentenced, how can the five years from 1994 to 1999 count as "most of her childhood"? Moletrouser ( talk) 13:41, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, this is silly - I've now made a new section, deleted a third, produced a massive line that spans the universe, and all I'm trying to do is comment. Come on - couldn't this be easier to use?
In the interview to Russian Nights she clearly said that her mother was of Russian ethnicity, and that she never forgets of her Russian roots. I wasn't the one who brought that reference it was here long ago, here it is.
Neverthless, dispite no references given in the article for that, someone wrote that her mother was of mixed Russian and Ukrainian ethnicity. I don't say it's a lie but no links were brought for the Ukrainian ethnicity on her mothers side. If her mother also had Ukrainian ethnicity, please bring a link.
Since we do have a link for her partial Russian ethnicity I also added her to the Russian-Americans category. I'm sexy, I'm hot, I'm everything your not ( talk) 21:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
In the view interviews I saw of her on youtube she has called herself "born in Russia" and in another one "born in the Ukraine". I got the idea she either doesn't care what her ethnicity is or doesn't know or she deserves better interviews :). I think that there where always some Ukrainians living in every town in Imperial Russia west of the Ural Mountains :) Anyhow I consider everybody who lives/or lived a long time in Ukraine a Ukrainian.

About 5 or 6 years ago she took part in a Russian talk show "Женский взгляд Оксаны Пушкиной"(Woman's look by Oxana Pushkina) along with her mother. Her mother spoke only Russian. When Milla tried to reply in Russian she realized that her knowledge of it was really bad and continued in English. Then both of them sad that she has simply forgotten it. 70.55.132.127 21:03, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
The articles says,
The Fifth Element Soundtrack (1997) - "Little Light of Love" (with RXRA),
under "Compilations, soundtracks and albums featuring Jovovich". However the only info I can find about this, on IMDB [4] and www.millaj.com [5] contradicts that statement. Allmusic.com's listings for "performers" for that album/song only says RXRA, no mention of Jovovich. So, removed the line from the article since it had no citation.

Milla jovovich in an article published in 2002, she was said to be Miuccia Prada's muse and in an article published in 2003, Harpers & Queen magazine claimed Jovovich was
Gianni Versace's "favourite supermodel".In 2004, Jovovich topped Forbes magazine's "Richest Supermodels of the World" list, earning a reported $10.5 million.In 2006, Jovovich was picked up by Spanish clothing line Mango as their new spokesmodel and is currently featured in their ad campaigns;she can also be seen in ads for Etro. She has noted that "Modeling was never a priority"and it instead enables her "to be selective about the creative decisions [she] make[s]".She is now recently been the face of L'Oréal for many ad campaigns.

She was on a magazine cover the year BEFORE her mother "resorted to cleaning houses to earn money"? She dropped out of school in 7th grade at age 12 to focus on modeling but went back and graduated from high school at age 16? Something hinky here.

The "Recent and future roles (2007–present)" section says, Jovovich was set to portray Amalia Bezhetskaya in The Winter Queen in 2007, however, with the announcement of her pregnancy early that year, the film was postponed until Summer 2008. This must be from a very old edit, as I'm not sure Winter Queen has even made it to post-production. Anyone know what's going on with this film?

To avoid edit warring about whether Jovovich is anti-communist or not, a few reminders. The article must adhere to WP:BLP. Publishing uncertain information a person's political stance is not acceptable, sources are absolutely necessary. Original research or synthesis isn't enough to verify her alleged "anti-communist" sentiment. Also, if she's to be included in a category related to anti-communism, it should be explained in the article body so the readers know why she is in the category. Zakhalesh ( talk) 19:11, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
I guess we need a topic here since this slow burn edit war is neverending. My understanding is that she was Ukrainian born and now a naturalized American citizen. We cover the birth nationality in the body of the article but it seems appropriate to me to call her an American actress as that is her citizenship. But we don't really mention that she was naturalized in the article. Perhaps finding a source and noting that will help? Millahnna ( talk) 07:56, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
It's rather silly questioning this, especially when it's only one IP edit warring, screaming and trying to bully people into his/her preferred version. Considering the fact that she has lived in America for 30 years, it also leads me to question whether it matters if she is a citizen or not, or just has permanent residency. Nymf hideliho! 22:37, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
To summarize the discussion for when this comes up again, the current consensus/what's in the article now is to not mention her nationality or where she was born in the lead paragraph. The reasons are as follows:
Until some reliable sources can be found it's best to not even mention her nationality or birth place in the lead paragraph. SQGibbon ( talk) 21:27, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the summary SQG. In looking at her official web site FAQ, I noticed that she identifies ethnically as Montenegrian but no note of her citizenship is made.

People, there are decaf brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing. She is an Actress who lives and acts in America, making her an American Actress. She was born in the Ukraine. At the time, it may have been part of the UUSR, however; and be that as it may be, it still leaves her coming into this world IN THE UKRAIN. Which was a, theoretically, self-soveriegn entity under the central USSR government, a member of a republic. Think of it as saying she was born in Kansas, yes, it's part of the USA, but it's also KANSAS. Also a member of a different republic. It all works. Only dedicated nit pickers need pick these nits.

All that's left now is some minor formatting issues. Jaan added her nationality to the infobox and the lead paragraph with the citation listed above. I added a small bit of text to the "Early life" section using the same citation. Generally speaking we don't use footnotes in infoboxes and lead paragraphs as that information is supposed to also be in the main body of the article which is where the citations are linked to. There's nothing wrong with having that same footnote about her nationality in three spots but it's just not necessary (and aesthetically it kind of clutters things up a bit). So unless anyone objects, and it's really not that big of a deal either way, I'm going to get rid of the footnotes in the infobox and lead paragraph. SQGibbon ( talk) 02:52, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
I had the good fortune to meet Mrs. Jovovich at the Resident Evil: Apocalypse wrap party (a get-together they have after filming is done) back in late 2003 thanks to a friend who worked on the film. I did manage to get in a question to her about her musical career, asking if she planned on releasing another album. Her reply was that due to the negative criticism she received for The Divine Comedy, she had no plans on putting out another commercial album, preferring instead to release music via her website. I obviously cannot cite myself so this cannot be added to her Wiki page, but I can mention it here where her fans might find it. X3J11 ( talk) 15:45, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Я воспитывалась в атмосфере русской классической театральной школы. Искусство, построенное на системе Станиславского, — это наиболее реалистичное искусство. И современное кино стоит на этих же принципах. Ведь русскому человеку важно докопаться до правды. Это и есть основа русской культуры. Я об этом никогда не забываю, тем более что у меня русские корни.”

I seem to be in a dispute about the sentence in this article: " I am a strong Ukrainian girl". According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking: "Appropriate links provide instant pathways to locations within and outside the project that are likely to increase readers' understanding of the topic at hand". The topic at hand in the sentence "I am a strong Ukrainian girl" is Ukrainians (the topic at hand in the sentence "I am a strong girl born in Ukraine" is Ukraine). Hence edits like this one are incorrect. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 18:31, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
This has nothing to do with "ethnic groups"; but with linguistics... The topic at hand in the sentence "I am a strong Ukrainian girl" is Ukrainians. According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking: "Appropriate links provide instant pathways to locations within and outside the project that are likely to increase readers' understanding of the topic at hand". You are ignoring my arguments here above completly. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 19:21, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
So you don't know what Jovovich meant when she said "I am a strong Ukrainian girl"? Or are you avoiding my arguments again? — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 19:54, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
The topic at hand in the sentence "I am a strong Ukrainian girl" is Ukrainians; hence the re-direct should be to Ukrainians. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 20:09, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
You don't know that.... But is is irrelevant what she meant: According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking: "Appropriate links provide instant pathways to locations within and outside the project that are likely to increase readers' understanding of the topic at hand". The Manual of Style does not talk about "The links should provide instant pathways to locations within and outside the project at the choosing of the subject of the Wikipedia article". For the readers linking to Ukrainians will increase readers' understanding of the topic at hand ( Milla Jovovich) more then a link to Ukraine (in this part of the article). — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 21:41, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
You don't know that she didn't meant Ukrainian ethnicity (because she is not Ukrainian by ethnicity). You decided (for her) that she did not meant that without consulting her on it. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 21:57, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

We at Wikipedia work with sources.... We report what the sources say! Not what we think they say... There have been millions of people who have claimed that they are something which they where not.... and later claimed something else. Why something claims something is not the issue here on Wikipedia; it is about finding sources who say why they say something, not about personal opinions and personal interpretations why somebody says something.

Mila Jovovich is the daughter of a serbian montenegrin Bogić Jovovic and her mother Galina Loginova Jovović from ukraine. the german article already includes this information. The Article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasojevi%C4%87i also descriibes this fact and already lists Mila as one of the Notable descendants of the Vasojevići tribe. I would like to add this information. Vuk3k ( talk) 19:19, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
First of all, the correct translation in this case is clan, not tribe. Her father is montenegrin, as Vasojevići is a montenegrin clan. Serbs do not have a clan social structure, it is not-existent in Serbia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.228.110.237 ( talk) 12:53, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
It is true that there is no "clan social structure" in Serbia. No one said that there is one, no one claimed that her father is from Serbia. We only claim that her fathers ethnicity is Serbian, because as you might know there are a lot of Serbs in Montenegro and Vasojevici are actually a Serbian clan as most of its members declare as Serbs. You shouldn't mix ethnicity and citizenship. Her fathers family has origins in Montenegro but he was actually born and raised in Serbia, in Kosovo. 217.24.139.42 ( talk) 20:40, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Her family was originally a part of a clan (or tribe) of people of Serbian ethnicity that inhabited a part of Montenegro. The term Montenegrin is purely geographical in this case, when it comes to ethnicity there is no doubt that Vasojevici are of Serbian ethnicity. 94.250.79.14 ( talk) 18:55, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
Given its reliance on fan magazines, the article too much reflects their tone. Every detail that has been published (e.g., quotes on watching video games as a child) does not need to be reproduced here. Try to stick to main points. Shortened Lead to have it be more of a summary; more needs to be edited out. Parkwells ( talk) 14:28, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
Well, this is going too far. Sources are saying that Milla is Serbian, while some users are changing to Montenegrin. Why??? If you cant choose which ethnicity of her father is, than change it to Yugoslavian. -- MisterBean ( talk) 17:14, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
Perhaps people could add sources for each sentence, focusing on what Jovovich and father say about themselves, which should be given priority unless there's something incongruous about what they say. Sarah (talk) 19:11, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
"Milla Jovovich was born ... the daughter of Bogić Jovović, a Montenegrin pediatrician ..."
"Milla Jovovich was born ... the daughter of Bogić Jovović, a Serbian pediatrician ..."
(Technically the most accurate statement because in 1981 there was no "Serbia" or "Montenegro"):
"Milla Jovovich was born ... the daughter of Bogić Jovović, a Yugoslavian pediatrician ..." -- Taivo ( talk) 21:15, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
"She identifies as Russian, Ukrainian, Montenegrin, and American."
"She identifies as Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, and American."
Omit any mention of parents' nationality/citizenship, or which nationality/ethnicity she identifies as.
Jovovich is the voice actor in English version, not the original Russian version. Does it need to be explained in the "Role" and "Notes" fields of table? I think a clarification about that movies is good. -- Zyma ( talk) 00:45, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Her official website bio clearly says:
″Milla Jovovich (pronounced "mee-luh" "yo-vo-vitch") was born December 17, 1975 in Kyiv (Kiev), Ukraine to father Bogdanovitch Jovovich (Serbian doctor) and mother Galina Loginova Jovovich (Russian actress). In 1981, Milla and her family left the Soviet Union and moved to London, England and then to Sacramento, California, ultimately settling in Los Angeles.″
Source: http://www.millaj.com/bio.shtml
(IMDb biography page claims the same:
"Her Serbian father, Bogdan Jovovich, was a medical doctor in Kiev."
Source: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000170/bio)
However, some users like TaivoLinguist constantly cite her official website wrongly and falsely claim that her father is Montenegrin, although there isn't word Montenegrin even mentioned on the cited site!
The other cited site, which is in Serbian and they don't understand it, is stating the same fact about her father! However these facts do not prevent TaivoLinguist, Nymf and other users to vandalise the page!
Several others wikipedia pages also state that Milla Jovovich is of Serb origin:
/info/en/?search=Vasojevi%C4%87i#Notable_people
/info/en/?search=Serbian_American
/info/en/?search=List_of_Serbian_Americans#Actors
Are they going to vandalise these wikipedia articles too, with the help of SlimVirgin?
Her article further says that her paternal family's estate was in Zlopek near Peć, Serbia, and that her paternal great-grandfather, Bogić Camić Jovović, was a flag-bearer of the Vasojevići clan.
And what is Vasojevići clan (or tribe), you may wonder? Well the answer is:
"The Vasojevići tribe (Serbian Cyrillic: Васојевићи, Vasojevići, pronounced [ʋâso̞je̞ʋit͡ɕi]) is the largest Serb tribe in Montenegro."
Source: /info/en/?search=Vasojevi%C4%87i
Even her last name Jovović is listet in list of brotherhoods of Vasojevići clan last names. Are you going to change that as well?
Compromise solution may be Montenegrin Serb as nationality of her father and her.
In historiography, the Orthodox people of Montenegro were called Serbs. In the constitutions of the Principality of Montenegro and Kingdom of Montenegro, the Montenegrin people's ethnonym was Serbs. With the formation of Socialist Yugoslavia, the censuses showed a majority of people declaring as Montenegrins.

I see Serbian IPs are still turning up to edit war the categories now that the semi-protection expired. Should we blank the categories as well? Semi-protect the article again? Pinging @ Kww: and @ TaivoLinguist: to get some input. Nymf ( talk) 13:45, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Milla Jovovich's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 10:57, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

I really think that the Russian/Ukrainian section goes way too much into detail for comfortable reading. It should be shortened so that gets straight to the point because so much gets lost in translation with how long the section is. 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣cellsman 00:02, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
I think this should be edited. Just for consistency. Many Americans who have moved overseas are referred to as American-etc. She was not born nor raised there, granted she is American by citizenship, it would be like referring to say Tim Matheson solely as a “British” actor, since he moved there and is now a British citizen. The fact that her ethinticity and upbringing were not American, should stand for something. I’m just saying American should not her her sole claimed ethinticity/nationality, even if just for consistency with other articles on Wikipedia. 2001:8003:4028:AE00:DC9B:DCCB:2A4C:11EA ( talk) 08:31, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
