I would like to receive a full original and translated citation which you concur that this person is is a Polish-Lithuanian as suggested per presented source. M.K. (talk) 08:50, 25 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
As there was no requested clarification, I moved this info:('''Dariusz Ławrynowicz''')[[Polish minority in Lithuania|Polish]]-[[Lithuanians|Lithuanian]]<ref>[http://www.tygodnik.lt/200634/bliska3.html]</ref> from main space also per WP:LIVING. M.K. (talk) 09:44, 13 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
I hope it is good now, more translation is available upon request. Please note that Lithuanian wikipedia clearly calls him Polish. Tymek (talk) 04:01, 18 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
No need for further confirmation, the fact that Darjuš is polish - lithuanian is clear for every lithuanian or pole who know him. Darjuš' mother tongue is Polish, he speaks Lithuanian with strong polish accent, let alone that his name and surname are polish. --Negudras (talk) 21:41, 5 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
And shouldn't the biography of a Polish person be under their Polish name, Dariusz Ławrynowicz? The brother should also be referred to by his Polish name, Krzysztof. I know some parts of the Lithuanian government are trying to force Poles to Lithuanize their names, but Wikipedia isn't an organ of the Lithuanian government (or parts of it). Are there English language references that use either name? How is he referred to in Polish reference? This is as if Wikipedia had listed Carlos López's article (for example) under Charles Wolfsson.radek (talk) 17:32, 5 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Do you have any ref to support your assumption in this particular case? Please provide if you would, or just leave it to the named person to decide whether he'll ever play for Poland's national team.--Lokyz (talk) 02:10, 9 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
What team he plays for is irrelevant. His ethnicity and how he refers to himself (NOT, how the Lithuanian government insists he refer to himself) is. You don't like the above example? Fine. Here's another. The former captain of the US National Soccer team's article is NOT under Claude Queen.radek (talk) 04:59, 11 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
