[edit] Schmidt

I think info about Schmidt takes to much space and is not really such an important episode of Alekperov's biography. --Grandmaster 06:58, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The name

I think in English the name should be Vahid Alakbarov. Since he was born and named in Azerbaijan, his name shouldn't be translated into English from "modified" name in Russian but Azerbaijani. In Azerbaijani and many other Iranian languages, Vahid (in Persian:وحید) means unique, see here. Besides, I think when his parents named him, they meant Vahid, not Vagit, which doesn't make any sense. --Gulmammad (talk) 16:36, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
