Citizenship

She born in the Soviet Union and her first language is russian.She describe herself as russian in an interview in 2009. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1006:B034:2E60:8CDC:4469:19EC:696 (talk) 02:46, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Her citizenship is given as simply "American". What happened to her original Soviet/Ukrainian citizenship? The article should at least address this. — Smjg (talk) 22:56, 4 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

this has been explained before, but per Wikipedia guidelines, it is the nationality of the individual, specifically the country and nationality under which they became notable, that is included in the lead. Furthermore, according to WP:Ethnicity, place of birth, previous nationalities, and/or ethnicity are not included in the lead. For Mila, as an American citizen who gained notability in America, she would be appropriately described as "American" rather than "Ukranian-American" or "Ukranian". And the same applies for citizenship. Not only do we not know whether she still has Ukranian citizenship (which is highly unlikely if not impossible considering Ukraine does not permit dual citizenship), but even if so, she would still be described as "American" as it is the country and nationality under which she gained notability which is included in the lead Fsm83 (talk) 18:38, 10 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Fsm83: So what? I said the article should at least address this, not that the lead should address this. By "Her citizenship is given as" I was referring to the sum total of all references to nationality/citizenship throughout the article. My point is that the information is missing at the moment. — Smjg (talk) 17:35, 8 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
What appears in this article seems sufficient enough to me. There have been many comments on here that have been addressed several times by other wiki members as to why her citizenship has been properly addressed and identified in this article. It wasn't just me. To my knowledge (and what others have stated) there is no credible source to identify if she has a dual citizenship or if Ukraine even permits a dual citizenship. As far as your question of what happened to her original Ukrainian citizenship if you or anybody else are able to provide a credible source to prove and show that information they are welcome to do so.Fsm83 (talk) 16:37, 22 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

As previously explained, per Wikipedia guidelines, it is the nationality of the individual, specifically the country and nationality under which they became notable, that is included in the lead and article. Additionally, according to WP:Ethnicity, place of birth, previous nationalities, and/or ethnicity are not included in the lead. For Mila, as an American citizen who gained notability in America, she would be appropriately described as "American" rather than "Ukranian-American" or "Ukranian". As noted, per Wiki policy it would not add Soviet, Jewish, Russian, or Ukrainian to the lead. Her ethnicity/country of birth is covered in the article and does not belong in the opening sentence as per WP:OPENPARA or within the "Nationality" title as mentioned.
