Line 30:
:If you look in the talk archives, this has been going on since 2006. I don't know if it's a 4chan-style joke by a group of people, or one severely deranged individual working for 14 years to insert Ukrainian profanity on this page. That would be worth opening up a long-term abuse case and ban that user on sight. The talk page cited this [https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/alex-trebek/211344/ TV Guide page] which may be a case of [[WP:CIRCULAR]] and under less editorial control than an actual published TV Guide. I think we can safely say that Suka is an obscenity in his parent's language and would not have been his name.

:This is a fair interpretation and we should continue to check back to ensure that such an edit does not come back into the article. Thank you for the catch [[User talk:discospinster]]. I found another source citing his name which clearly does not have the Ukrainian word in it.
