[edit] Cankar as a poet

The article said:

His hometown Vrhnika (20km from Ljubljana) boast a museum dedicated to him. Next to France Prešeren, Ivan Cankar is the most famous poet of Slovenia.

Although Cankar published collection of poems Erotika (Erotics), I don't think he's as famous for poetry as other Slovene poets (Simon Gregorčič, Anton Aškerc, Dragotin Kette, Oton Župančič, to name a few). So I rephrased this to "... the most famous writer of Slovenia." --romanm (talk) 16:17, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I've mostly translated this text from the German wikipedia, where he is referred as a poet. But no objections to the change. --Explendido Rocha 10:18, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Slovenian/Slovene - I wanted to restore the original version, but XJaM obviously also changes the original. Sorry, I'll be more careful in the future. --Eleassar777 my talk 22:00, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] the pronouncication (cankar)

I don't know how relevant this is so I am writing it here, but cankar is actually pronounced as tsankar (or is there a more spelling?). I find it quite disturbing to hear him refered to as kankar. Neikius 13:07, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
