I am not an expert on the life and works of Ivan Franko, but even I know that he was never exiled to Siberia. I also was surprised at the paragraph describing his death and stating that he was so neglected at that time. I do know that his funeral was enormous with many prominent Ukrainians and others attending. I have seen a picture of the funeral procession winding through the streets of war-time Lviv and it is very long indeed. I would venture to guess that someone has inserted some misinformation into this article and it should be cleaned up by a knowledgeable person. Mike Stoyik 17:18, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, half of the article is misinformative. --Comrade Che 1 14:42, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editing Ivan Franko

I edited the reference to Siberia's Kolyma where Franko allegedly spent his second time in prison. Perhaps it was an honest mistake, since the second time was in Kolomyia, Ukraine. Still, it will take some time to bring this article up to a respectable standard.--Riurik 00:55, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
