I added Steve Wozniak's college degree to the Infobox because I couldn't find information about it in the article. The internet has several conflicting claims about his college degree:

• Encyclopedia Britannica gets the year right, but the field of study wrong: "a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering in 1987."[1]
• ThoughtCo.com gets the field of study correct, but fails to mention the year of graduation. It says he "returned to college to finish his degree in electrical engineering and computer science."[2]
• YourDictionary.com claims the wrong year for his graduation: "Wozniak was officially awarded a degree several years later, in 1986."[3]"
• MIT gets both the year and degree right by saying Wozniak headed "back to school to complete his BS degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at U.C. Berkeley in 1987."[4]

Steve Wozniak's own personal website confirms that both MIT and ThoughtCo.com are correct. It says "1987 BS EECS U.C. Berkeley".[5] --JHP (talk) 21:02, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Guys,

I think that there is a huge mistake in the Steve Wozniak biography. It is more related to his origins than to himself.

In the article, there is a phrase "(Ukrainians who lived in the former Ukrainian city of Przemyśl, today Poland[11])".

Przemysl is a polish city and never belongs to Ukraine, more to it Ukrainians have done a genocide of polish people in this area.

Please do not twist our history, this is unacceptable for us Polish.

Steve Wozniak in Kyiv: I am Ukrainian!

He has not got a so-called Ukrainian origin. When his ancestry moved to USA, Ukrainian didn't exist. Woźniak is a pure Polish surname. Does he calls "Wozniuk" like "Kravchuk" or "Timoshchuk"? Polish ending is -ak, Ukrainian is - uk. Anyway, Wozniak said that he is the most famous Pole in the entire world after Maria Skłodowska-Curie. Next, check it out:

Wozniak is a 100% Polish surname. Historically, western Ukraine was Polish and ethnically Polish people lived there. Read about the Volhynian genocide. 217.172.255.206 (talk) 10:53, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In English Wikipedia article it's mentioned that Steve is "Albanian-American inventor,...". Is he Albanian of origin? His name family "Wozniak" is typical POLISH name and originally written as "Woźniak". In Polish Wikipedia Steve Wozniak is described as "American engineer and inventor of Polish descent". Can anyone verify it?

Wozniak is a pure Polish surname, and has nothing to do with Ukrainians and no other Slavic nation other than the Poles. Wozniak = Woźniak = 100% Polish last name.

However, Steve Wozniak's mother could have some Swiss-German or Albanian descent, but we need sources for that. No place for unsourced data on Wikipedia. 217.172.255.206 (talk) 10:51, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
