Michal Kelový was born 26.7. 1977 in Bratislava, Slovakia (this time part of Czechoslovakia). Despite the fact he was lovely child...

Point one: You should move the above text to the actual page. Point two: I know people born in Slovakia having Czech names, but HER name was Sklenáriková, simply because that name is used too frequently for a non-existing name (see also google - a SME article etc.). Since nobody translates Czech names into Slovak names, this implies that this is her correct name (otherwise it would not exist). So, unless you have a source saying that she was born with a Czech name and the Slovak name is someone's invention, or that she changes her name, I will revert your change.

Hi, Juro, thank You for Your contribution on my site :) Point one: no problem... Point two: Maybe we use another kinds of Google, my Google found name "Adriana Sklenáriková" 3x* and name "Adriana Sklenaříková" 1130x.*

(4x including reference to Wiki, where You are author) (162 000x without any diacritic)

I am not interesting so much about modeling (and Adriana is not my dream girl), but I heard her name many times in Slovak media and watched her presented in Slovak MISS competition as head of jury, always with "czech" version of her name, so I am sure about that.

You can believe me, I am slovak patriot and have no ambitions to "bohemize" Slovak famous people :) She is not "less Slovak" because her name - same as Pálffy or Hochschorner brothers :) We (Slovak nation) can be really proud for her :) And anyway - in "foreign" world countries just few people know special different between Czech and Slovak pronunciation of Small Glass Maker :)

We can wrangle about her name to one day, when will come the French (or Polynesian) person and will change her name finally to Karembeu :))

It would be easier for me write in Slovak, but I know You prefer english in english Wiki, so I tried. Nice day.


This has nothing to do with national pride or sympathy for her. I, on the other hand, remember her being called Sklenáriková (look at the SME article of 1998, for example), although I must admit that I watch Slovak TV rarely, especially not this kind of broadcasts. I think that she just (officially or inofficially) changed her name when she went to Czechia, but I do not know how to verify it...Juro 02:10, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
