A fact from Pyotr Leshchenko appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 17 June 2006. The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that the recordings of Pyotr Leshchenko (pictured), "the King of Russian Tango", were banned in the Soviet Union as counterrevolutionary? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/June.

"Petr Leschenko" variant seems to be more popular. Should the page be moved? Cmapm 08:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, of course not. This is the English Wikipedia, and not the German or Spanish one. I note that before today there were in the English Wikipedia 6 references to one Pyotr Leshchenko, only two to Pyotr Leschenko, and none to Petr Leschenko. The two "Pyotr Leschenko"s (there are a lot of Leshchenkos, and all of them have a link to Russia or the Soviet Union, and would normally be spelled Leshchenko - one more argument not to introduce German spelling in Pyotr's name) were in the articles on Roma music and on Alla Bayanova. I have since edited those. User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy--pgp 09:10, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The move is out of the question. The current title is correct. Use redirects. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 11:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Leschenko spelling looks like a mutilated German spelling to me, because if it is Leshchenko in Englisch it would have to be Leschtschenko in German (which is my first lingo). I cannot work out for sure how the cyrillic character is pronounced, i.e. sh or shch. The Pyotr or Petr does not really matter because people adapt names when they change country and language. He moved into the Romanian speaking environment, so Pyotr gets changed. I have a Russian speaking friend in Britain who once collected a lot of Leshchenko material for a docu, but then that did not materialize and now it's sitting in the cupboard. But the person was too disappointed to be asked to contribute here. 144.136.179.50 (talk) 04:09, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• He was born as an illegitimate child of the Russian Empire in Isayevo village of the Kherson Governorate (now part of Odessa Oblast, Ukraine) into a poor and illiterate Ukrainian peasant family.

What exactly does that highlighted bit mean? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 02:33, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good question, I also wondered. I assume it must mean, He was born an illegitimate child, in Isayevo village of the Kherson Governorate, Russian Empire. Is that it? Turgidson (talk) 03:13, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
