If this person is more commonly known as Ramon John Hnatyshyn rather than Ray Hnatyshyn then please move this article back. --mav 20:07 Dec 23, 2002 (UTC)
He is commonly called Ray, but the name Ramon John Hnatyshyn is no more obscure than Samuel Langhorn Clemens, and much of the current press coverage is under Ramon John. I'll move it back. - Montréalais
Is there enough info out there to do an article on his father? -FZ 18:58, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciation
Could someone add a phonetic help to the pronunciation of his name?
- I've added the pronunciation as I've heard it pronounced by Canadian acquaintances. I can't find this confirmed anywhere, though. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 14:46, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Renaming the article
It seems some Wikipedians want to rename the article about the Turkmen president Gurbanguly Berdimuhammedow because they don't like the spelling of his name. Although Turkmen language is written with Latin alphabet and Turkmen language is the only official language of Turkmenistan, they can't support the idea that his name can be written with a "w" at thee end, because it comes etymologically from a Russian "в" and, in Russian names, we use to translitterate "в" by a "v". I think if this reason is accepted, we can consider that the "h" of Hnatyshyn comes from a Russian "г" and then this article will have to be renamed "Ray Gnatishin"! And the facts that Hnatyshyn is Canadian and not Russian and that Hnatyshy's name comes from Ukrainian and not from Russian won't be an argument since Berdimuhammedow is Turkmen and not Russian. If you have something to say about the subject, don't hesitate to post it here: Talk:Gurbanguly_Berdimuhammedow#Page_move. Švitrigaila 23:53, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Assessment
I have assessed this article as Start Class, as it contains more detail and organization than would be expected of a Stub, and of mid importance, as I do feel that the subject of this article plays a strong role in the understanding of Canada and its history.
