I noticed that the Polish spelling of her name (Dominika Baniewicz) and the fact that she is part of the Polish minority in Lithuania was removed. Why is that? I think we should restore these informations. Marcelus (talk) 20:43, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
The article should be locked due to the edit war between Polish and Lithuanians. Both sides want to claim her as theirs, specifically after the Olympic win. It's clearly editing with a specific agenda.
So far there has not been, in my opinion, a single credible source about her minority status, besides a clearly biased minor Polish publication. She is a Lithuanian citizen and has chosen to represent Lithuania. Perhaps more enlightened could discuss and make the final decision.
I would like to further clarify that the surname does not equate to being of an ethnic minority. There are ethnic Lithuanians with Russian/Belarussian/Polish and other surnames. That's just how it is. Again, until a credible (preferably Lithuanian) source clearly states her Polish minority status, it should be assumed from her citizenship and choice to represent Lithuania that she is Lithuanian. Those are my two cents, even if I am wrong on the wikipedia's standard classification of ethnic minorities. 2A02:8108:80C0:4355:90F2:DFFD:5F9C:AB08 (talk) 13:40, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Banevič represents Lithuania, there is no indication by the Polish Olympic Comittee to claim her as "theirs", certainly not in the article. The surname "Baniewicz" is used by the Lithuanian Polish-language media. Marcelus (talk) 17:49, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
