Illness?[edit]

Ivanek has (convincingly) played a cancer patient in Banshee, Revolution, and now The Americans as well. Message board speculation about a possible serious illness dates back to 2010, but there's apparently no official word, so we can only speculate at this point. I do wish him well, fwiw.

Article needs Cleanup[edit]

This article needs a cleanup of Ivanek's film and TV appearances. Some performances are designated as TV shows, while others which are TV shows (Homicide:Life on the Street) are not designated as so. May I suggest breaking up his film work and other work into seperate categories?RtB 11:34, 13 June 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brich2929 (talk • contribs)

How do you pronounce his name?[edit]

Even after consulting the Help: IPA article, I still can't see how it's supposed to be pronounced. Captain Quirk (talk) 07:21, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

   I had a similar problem, with the terminal consonant (represented with an IPA char that i'd call a backward lambda) of the first syllable of his given name. Perhaps a well-meaning colleague felt confident that Slovenian citizens all pronounce their names according to Slovenian orthography, but
("If the answer is nine-W, what is the question?"
"That would be 'What highway runs along the west bank of the Hudson River?' "
"Wrong! It's 'Do you spell your surname with a V, Herr Vagner?' ")
in lots of countries (especially beyond the largest ones), the official languages (including orthography) of adjoining countries are widely understood. Nevertheless, the related Slavic languages (or the history of scholarly study of them) apparently justify different IPA symbols for what must be at least similar sounds, and my edit has changed the Slovenian-IPA template which back then you also would have encountered in the article to the Serbo-Croatian-IPA backward lambda one, for consistency with the IPA-explanation that immediately follows it.
   That wasn't enuf in itself, but if you practice pronouncing all three syllables of Ljubljana, then admit to yourself that few American (at least) speakers actually say in English "MILL-ee-on" -- MILL-yun being closer, and finally practice extending the first of the syllables of "million" as long as you can stand, you may be able to find the same sense i have found, that the consonantal sound can, maybe, slide smoothly from something that seems indistinguishable from (plain) terminal L into something else: a consonant, clearly distinguishable from the sound of plain L, that can nevertheless exist even without a vowel immediately following, i.e., as the last sound in a syllable. Our brains are trained to lie to us about what sounds we have heard (which is why so many native speakers of Japanese and of at least some versions of Chinese can't tell -- without extensive tutoring, and/or learning European spelling by pretty much by rote, whether you uttered an L or an R.   (Of course, IANA linguist, and it's occasionally been the case that i'm fullashit. But on the other hand, your good question has gone unanswered for 24 months.)

Requested move 23 February 2018[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 21:39, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Željko Ivanek → Zeljko Ivanek – Long based in USA; not known by forename with diacritic. Birth name is not professional name ([1], [2], [3]). Quis separabit? 04:39, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, but he's usually credited onscreen with the že making it his professional name. And other English sources also use it. —  AjaxSmack  14:11, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • No response, so oppose a move without a comprehensive look at usage in sources. Cherry-picking three sources while ignoring the subject's own usage should not be the basis for a move. —  AjaxSmack  03:52, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I accept your opinions. Thanks. We can close. (What has to be done to officially close?) Quis separabit? 03:37, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'll handle it. Dekimasuよ! 21:39, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
