[edit] BLP issues

I was going to do some serious chopping due to WP:BLP issues with unsourced negative claims but it seems that the claims are consistent with the documentary that is wiki-linked. The documentary should be cited as the source then. --Alfadog 06:26, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Writing of her first name

You use the cyrillic letter Ю. Transliterated that would be "Ju" not "Yu". Isn't there something wrong then? ~ Soulslayer (from German Wikipedia)

I did further research. On their official website her name is written like that: Юля. Because of that I also changed it in the article. - Soulslayer

[edit] Requested move

There should have been a discussion place here.

• Oppose requested move. Insufficient grounds given in request. Gene Nygaard (talk) 16:24, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Furthermore, it is in fact Julia Volkova in the English sources cited in the article about the band,The SunJapan Today, Ananova.
  • In other words, the Romanizing has already been done. There is no Romanizing for Wikipedians to be doing. The article needs to be properly moved to Julia Volkova. Gene Nygaard (talk) 16:34, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

A quick Google gives 69,700 English ghits to Yulia and only 39,100 English ghits to Julia. That's not a big difference (the difference is bigger if you don't restrict it to English) but it certainly doesn't support a move to Julia. Andrewa (talk) 13:20, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Also involves improper cut and paste move

A look at the history of the Julia Volkova redirect shows that the current article name at "Yulia Volkova" is the result of an improper cut and paste move.

Furthermore, it was sloppily done, with a talk page remaining at Talk:Julia Volkova separate and distinct from this talk page. Gene Nygaard (talk) 17:57, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Yep... lots to sort out. Andrewa (talk) 13:20, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name

In the biography, her first name is used and her surname is used as well. Shouldn't it be changed to just one because it looks messy. 19:36, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Good idea. I changed them all to just her surname, as the Wikipedia help pages recommend.Ariadne55 (talk) 21:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
