	I think that the article has 2 very, very minor issues which can seem either too nonsignificant or dubious. First, "Обреченная стать звездой" literally means "Doomed to become a star" or so, which, I think, sounds or looks just awkward. And, second, Russian size 5 is actually a F cup (<A is 0, B is 1, C is 2, etc.).

	::: Ah, ok. It works fine if the name is referenced somewhere in the article, and it does not influence the reference function. In the beginning, I made sure that the first mentioning of a reference in the code contained the whole reference, but I skipped this as some articles grew, as I saw that it has no influence on the page. Or do you think it is important for a well-written article that it's also "clean behind the scenes"? I think there aren't many editors except us and another three or four who use the name parameter, and these are familiar with the text search function. Or am I wrong?

	: You are definitively right, I already thought about shortening the name explication section before. Explications of a name may still be interesting if they become the topic of discussions (like for the "Semen" in "Semenovich", I saw that on a discussion board). But I think it is still very important to provide the transliterations and variations of those names. This may not be obvious at first, but try to start looking for information about her on the net - you definitively need the transliterations and variations to find stuff about her. Only writing one English transliteration does not show all the other sources in Google, for example. Besides, English speakers usually do not know that Anna, Anya, Anyuta and Annushka are exactly the same for a Russian and can be used instead. (By the way: Did you know that Sasha is only a diminutive form for Alexander? Every pop music magazine will call a pop star named Alexander by Sasha :-) ).

	::Again, I came across this same thing in my work on Japanese subjects... When I first started (at Wiki), I would provide the Japanese for every little thing I possibly could...

Also titles to films-- especially if I'm making my own translations.

	: You are talking about film, television and music album titles, aren't you? Generally, I agree with you, but there's a problem: As for photographer names, I did it exactly like this, because there are more or less official rules for transliterating cyrillic letters into English. A newspaper like ''Your Day'' may be translated without problems too, but as for the film and music album titles - most of them were never published outside Russia, so I provided the original title first and added the translation (only my own attempt) in parentheses. I think this is more reasonable in this case: Transliterate all proper names and abbreviations, but mention film titles which don't have an English title with the original title first and then the translation. I have to admit that I did not notice that I did it, because I can read Russian. But I wouldn't be astonished to see the same technique for a Japanese film. But if I do so, I would have to change the filmography to this style too to be consistent, because I noticed that I mentionend the English (inofficial, hand-translated) title first there.

	:: Actually, I run across the exact same situation in Japanese. Lately there has been a trend towards using English titles in the videos, and I use them, no matter how bad the English is :-) But more usually, I have to give a rough translation, and I don't like doing this because it makes it sound like an "official" translation... Still, I think I do put the English first, just because I assume most readers will not be able to read any Japanese at all, and they can more easily skip over the Japanese text if it is second, in parentheses. (The case of Cyrillic is a little different though, in that it is closely related to our Roman alphabet, so us English-speakers can work out the meanings, sometimes, and have a bit of a fun challenge in doing so :) [[User:Dekkappai\|Dekkappai]] 10:58, 5 October 2008 (EDT)		:: Actually, I run across the exact same situation in Japanese.

	: Well... The reason is that the first two articles on Russian persons I saw on Wikipedia wrote Russian names in italics. Now, after having a closer look on Wikipedia articles on Russians, I see that both ways exist, but the non-italic names clearly form the majority. Away from Wikipedia: I '''LOVE''' Russian italics, but you have a serious point: Japanese signs look terrible in italics, and I cannot find another sensible reason for Russian names to be italicised - so it seems to be better to convert them. Phew... I'll have to go through all my articles on Russian persons. :-) [[User:Prophecy\|Prophecy]] 06:27, 5 October 2008 (EDT)		: Well...

	:: I was sticking my neck out on this one, because I know no Russian... I assume in Russian italics are used... I don't think I have ever seen them used in Korean or Japanese though, so that's a different matter... To me, as a non-Russian-speaking English-speaker, the italics made the Cyrillic more difficult to make out. But again, if this is standard, feel free to use them-- although I would still recommend using them only for titles, not for names of individuals. (By the way, when a stylistic change is made which affects my articles-- the "Reference" section at the bottom for instance-- I don't think it's important enough to devote time to making that change to every article... I make the changes as I come across them in normal editing.) [[User:Dekkappai\|Dekkappai]] 10:53, 5 October 2008 (EDT)		:: I was sticking my neck out on this one, because I know no Russian...

			::: What standard? :-) We have no defined standards on Boobpedia so far - except for the references at the bottom of the article (wow, our first consensus!). It's astonishing how you felt when you saw the italics - for me it signalised: Here comes something different, an explication in another language - for you it was just the opposite. But as said, the way to use italics only for titles and such seems to be consistent, and I have nothing against it. For me it integrates the Cyrillic letters even more into the text, but it solves the Japanese dilemma. [[User:Prophecy\|Prophecy]] 13:40, 5 October 2008 (EDT)

			I think that the article has 2 very, very minor issues which can seem either too nonsignificant or dubious. First, "Обреченная стать звездой" literally means "Doomed to become a star" or so, which, I think, sounds or looks just awkward. And, second, Russian size 5 is actually a F cup (<A is 0, B is 1, C is 2, etc.). Feel free to approve or reject that. --[[User:NOYDB\|NOYDB]] ([[User talk:NOYDB\|talk]] \| [[Special:Contributions/NOYDB\|edits]]) 11:44, 24 February 2015 (EST)

	:: First-to-last is standard at Wikipedia, and I definitely agree with that. (I have no idea why IMDb does it in reverse.) About their making exceptions for living performers-- I see no point in this...

About their making exceptions for living performers-- I see no point in this... The reason I think first-to-last is more appropriate is that we are writing biographies, encyclopedic articles, which present their information in a chronological order. To go through the subject's life chronologically-- birth to career-- and then to have the list of works in reverse order seems contradictory to me.

	: Hm... I'll have to think about that again. Is this a common practice on Wikipedia? I thought that it would be better to read some excerpts of her film career, but then have the whole list at one place, not at two places in the article. The pictures were chosen to fit into the sections too, now they are a bit difficult to assign to the text, but that maybe a little bit of layout work. I'll look at this.
