I note that someone has gone through the article and removed such "unimportant" info as this: that he was born "the eldest of four boys. His father was a tailor, and his mother a housewife." Everyking 14:51, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I really do not consider politicians father being a tailor a crucial issue. Everybody's father does something and yet we (normally) do not mention it. In former Czechoslovakia it is really nothing soooo special. Btw. the last link you added is really really out-dated and obviously in favour of him. mz 29 Aug 2004, 17:42 GMT+2
(1) A personal tip. When you do not want to end like me, then leave the Wikipedia immediately!!! Everybody is so touchy here after one year or so, unless he does write about things that nobody else is interested in.... :) (2)In general, you cannot delete half an article, like in this case, and expect that nobody will notice that, and everybody will agree. A previous discussion is necessary. (3)As for Meciar himself, I can assure you that I am not a fan of him. But we are writing an encyclopaedia and the article is simply a collection of facts and deliberately contains no opinions. Me and the other authors were not "observing his career", but used available web links and literature. (4) "He was advocating [...] continued federation with the Czechs." - he WAS advocating it until before the 1992 elections, even afterwards - during the negotiations - he was not a full advocator of a separation. There is no informed person and no text in the world that would claim the opposite. But as for this particular point, you do not have to observe anything, it is enough to use your memory (if you are not too young).

Why does somebody go to the trouble of working on articles like this, just to keep it obscure and hidden away because of a failure to make redirects from the English alphabet spellings, such as Vladimir Meclar which is a redlink? Gene Nygaard 19:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone have any particulars on Meciar's attack on a journalist in the late 1990s? I seem to remember this as quite a scandal at the time, and perhaps indicative of Meciar's bullish style. Jimjamjak 15:56, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Why is this article not mentioning at all Meciar's policies of opressing ethnic Hungarians in Slovakia??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.212.98.119 ( talk) 15:50, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
This article has virtually nothing about his arrest, his suspected role in the kidnapping of the President's son, and NO references. We need to work on this and bring it up to even minimum requirements for Wikipedia. BWH76 ( talk) 11:14, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
