Birthplace?

Should we mention the fact that he was born in Bohemia, in the info box? or are we just using modern countries? Paradoxical 0^2 (talk) 07:59, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Other articles usually use the Austrian empire as the birthplace, which it was. Bohemia was not a country then.

This is not true - kingdom of Bohemia did exist at that time, as part of Austrian Empire, but still existing. Dvořák strongly see himself as Bohemian, it will by nonsense to forget that. 185.91.165.69 (talk) 19:28, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

At the time of Dvořák's birth the Austrian Empire was a centralistic country, the old formerly independent parts like the Kingdom of Bohemia were only existing by name, with no practical meaning. That changed somewhat in 1867 with the creation of Austria-Hungary, when Bohemia became a semi-autonomous Kronland in the Austrian part (one change was the acceptance of Czech as official language), but that was after Dvořák's birth. So I think the current information reflects reality. shugal (talk) 18:22, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The opening two sentences of the article have first a piped link to Kingdom of Bohemia for "Czech composer" and then also to Bohemia for "folk music of Moravia and his native Bohemia". So that gives quite a good suggestion of his national links? Martinevans123 (talk) 18:56, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good article?

I daresay this is getting close to being considered for nomination as a good article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Electricmaster (talk • contribs) 12:41, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
