That he was half Slowenian and born in Slowenia is OK, but the nationality Slowenian is a critical term etnic slowenian OK , but he was born in Austria Hungaria and his home became first State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs and later in 1929 Kingdom of Yugoslavia. I also would think that he had to become Austrian citicen for his position in the University in Graz.--Stone 11:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

According to the Slovenian Wiki, Pregl's mother-tongue was German. So, unless he explicitely stated belonging to the Slovenian nation, it is wrong to write Slovenian Chemist. Nahabedere 07:54, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Friderik/Fritz

As far as I can tell, he only used "Fritz" in his publications (you can see it if you squint):

and signed himself "Fritz":

and spent his entire adult and professional life in Austria. The festschrift written for him also calls him "Fritz":

I conclude that "Friderik" is a Slovenian revisionism and should only be mentioned parenthetically unless someone can find evidence that he also used "Friderik" in his personal or professional life. Doremo (talk) 12:31, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
