Rather than start a fight straight off by changing things, does anyone know exactly how Sergei Diaghilev got to be in an article entitled "Serge Diaghilev"? There can surely be no doubt whatsoever that his birth name was Sergei Diaghilev, and this is what the article should be called. Yes, of course he was known in France and other countries by the Francophone version "Serge Diaghilev", and of course there should be a redirect from this, but in reality this was no more than a stage name. --PS4FA
- I agree with the page move (just about), but just for reference, the convention here is not to put people under their birth name necessarily, but under the name they are best known by in an English context (see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English), especially the second paragraph). I think that using that critereon, "Serge" wasn't very wrong, but looking through a couple of reference books, "Sergei" is probably better. --Camembert
[edit]
There are rumours about him having a relationship with Nijinsky. Can anyone confirm these? 81.131.191.198
- Im pretty sure that that is accurate. It is definetly recorded in Nijinsky's diaries and under the article on him in the Wikipedia. I had previously noticed that this was left out of Diaghilev's article and think it could be added but I thought perhaps the original author fealt it wasnt essential. I am for adding it, I suppose, but Ill let someone who knows more about the subjects do so. Zephyrprince 02:27, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Again
This article hasn't been touched in a while. I added more early information. I plan to add more about the Ballet Russes and art exhibitions later.--tufkaa 18:42, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
