The article implies that Gasparovic was born in Croatia. Is this the case? If so the article outght to say so. Adam 00:27, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)

The paragraph about János Esterházy sounds like a bad joke. Can anything be more biased than calling someone a "martyr"??? Laddy — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.127.174.132 ( talk) 18:23, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Copied from User talk:The_Banner#Re: Gasparovic revision Just a heads up: I will be deleting, one final time, the section dealing with the controversy. It is an extremely marginal topic, and has zero place in Slovak political discourse. It is being singled out for nefarious reasons by Hungarian nationalists to further an agenda (specifically, the rehabilitation of János Esterházy, the article of whom is also in need of a great deal of work to be NPOV). As such, the article on Gasparovic is unbalanced, politically charged and creates a incomplete and skewed picture for the disinterested reader. The section adds nothing towards the article itself, and cannot be improved without an extreme amount of work on the article itself (i.e. without adding every single inconsequential dispute and controversy, either domestic or international, that Gasparovic has been part of). The fact that the content is sourced (from a single low-quality web-only source) is not reason enough to override the safeguards that exist to protect BLPs and to make sure articles are balanced and NPOV.
As I said, it will be my last revert: For me this is a test case, and if it is this simple to hijack Wikipedia for political reasons and for the purpose of editorializing history, and if any actions done to remedy this issue are blocked and on a BLP page no less, then my efforts here are futile.
Please let me know if there is anything else you need to know, or what I can do. 89.173.110.130 ( talk) 23:29, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

I have restored the section "Controversies" to facilitate the discussion. Can you guys give arguments why it should stay or why it should be removed? The Banner talk 02:06, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
