On french wikipedia it says that he is australian with tchec origins... Can you finally decide??

Well this page says he was born in Warsaw, Poland. But this page says he was born in Prague. Neither page says he was born in Australia. In fact the french page says his family moved to Australia when he was 4 years old. what exactly need to be decided?--NeilEvans 20:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I've made an index of all the Spellbinder series that Zbych has played in, with a snapshot of each episode. Maybe this link can added somewhere? I made these pages because if found this info nowhere on the internet: http://www.tomaski.be/fotos/zbych-trofimiuk

Contents 1 Fair use rationale for Image:SpellbindPaul.JPG 2 The place of birth 3 Awards probably garbled 4 Prague versus Warsaw

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SpellbindPaul.JPG

Image:SpellbindPaul.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:17, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The place of birth

Wasn't he born in Warsaw? Look here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0873316/

The two sources given, conflict each other but have been added as neither is a reliable source.--NeilEvans 21:28, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Awards probably garbled

I think the Young Actors Award and the Australian Film Institute Award are one and the same, a Young Actors Award from the AFI. There are the two awards listed, with different years, at the IMDB. It's probably just garbled, inaccurate information.

[edit] Prague versus Warsaw

Since someone is determined to add the Prague information, which appears to simply be hearsay from a geocities page, it would probably be a good idea to write to Mr. Trofimiuk care of La Mama and settle the matter once and for all. He is also credited elsewhere with having been born simply in Poland. He's Polish-Australian, he's credited with birth in Poland, he's credited with birth in Warsaw, Poland. I think the weight of evidence is that he was born in Warsaw. It's just ridiculous to let this silliness go on. The more you publish it at Wikipedia, the more it gets copied everywhere else.

ADDENDUM A FEW MINUTES LATER: Okay, I'll bet he was ACTUALLY born in Prague. His mother Zoja was born in Prague. I'm thinking, okay, Prague it is. But someone still might want to confirm with these folks so that the issue is settled.
