[edit] Contradiction?
It says "He was the first non-Pole to win the Petak Prize" but it also says he was born in "Silesia in the southwestern part of Poland". So...is he Polish or isn't he? Her Pegship (tis herself) 00:06, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Do not confuse nationality with ethnicity. Petro is ethnically a Lemko/Rusyn not an ethnic Pole. He holds Polish citizenship though since he was born there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.70.94.67 (talk) 16:19, 13 September 2007 (UTC) I agree, and I wrote most of the article. The answer to your question may be "define Polish". His citizenship/nationality is Polish, but his ethnicity is Lemko/Rusyn. I modifed the original to reflect this. Poland has other, non-Polish minorities who are citizens, mainly Ukrainians, but also Lithuanians and others.Pustelnik 22:26, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

- I'd say nationality, not ethnicity, is the more relevant factor for this statement. Gene Nygaard (talk) 12:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know for sure, but I strongly suspect that he would disagree with you. Read his quotations.Pustelnik (talk) 01:12, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Belarus
Is this added to the Belarus because he is Lemko/Rusyn/Ruthenian or what? None of the mentioned geographic locations are in Belrus! Please clarify. Pustelnik (talk) 01:19, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
