[edit] it really means....

I know it may sound like a vandalism, but Ziva Kunda really means .... these two words. Try to ask any Czech / Slovak. Any. --Have a nice day. Running 22:56, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interesting, but...

While it is rather interesting language oddity, I think we are trying to be way too much specific here. After all, the woman is dead, so let's have some decency.

Thouth I guess it would be ok to say something like "In 1996, her website at the University of Michigan became very popular amongst Czech and Slovak speaking pubescents, because her name has certain improper denotation in Czech language." That should not insult anybody. --194.108.186.216 23:18, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reverting, semiprotection, etc.

The fact is, that her name really seems “funny” to Czech people. Her webpages really were quite “popular” in Czech Republic because of that. To be honest, this fact is probably the reason somebody has created an article about her on cs: (we mention the fact there in one sentence and a referencing link to a newspaper article mentioning this fact).

So, people come here, add that fact into the article, and are named vandals. They are (in general) not; they try to add some valid information into the article. I can understand that the fact is not pleasant for her family, I even agree that it is just a tiny oddity that probably does not fit into the article, I just felt the need to voice my disagreement with the disregarding reverts and “vandal” calls. (The contributors are even trying to explain their edits, and their meet just “revert”; note the interesting comparison with Fucking, Austria.)
