Talk:Vicky Leandros

message: All the references given here to support a birth year of 1952 are unreliable .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 . IMDB actually supports 1949 . 
2 . Bildblog supports 1949 in spite of a solicitors letter asking them in future to use 1952 . 
3 . 60th Birthday 2012 ... because the artist says so ? 
4 . Archived .... anything can be written there . 
5 . Wayback Machine .... anything can be written by anyone . 
6 . The artists official website will naturally support the date the artist wishes to convey .   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Koufi (talk • contribs) 21:27, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Leandros vicky.JPG

message: I've had a big sort out of the page and removed as much bias as I can find to get it in shape, but does anyone know anything about her albums? The discography section is a mess with multiple albums of the same name. It needs simplifying down to one list of genuine (and official) albums. Variations in various countries are not needed - just the albums as originally released. --Tuzapicabit (talk) 21:45, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorted! Going on 3 websites dedicated to her, I've managed to trawl through the countless albums into what was genuine and what is either variation or cheap/unofficial compilation.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 18:43, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: We are told in this section that the Bronze Rose of Montreux is or was "world famous". What is the basis for that claim? I never heard of the Rose, yet I was around when these broadcasts were made.
We are told, further, that Leandros's television programme employed "surprising, even shocking, imagery". Again, we have no citation to back up this emphatic claim. Who was ever truly shocked by the décor of a middle of the road, light entertainment television programme?
Is this article guilty of hyperbole and exaggeration?

replies: text:  I remember the era from when we were in Germany where my husband also accompanied her in a live TV show on bouzouki and banjo. I remember the CBS debacle. The then CBS boss was quoted (maybe in Stern) that 'CBS has a branch in Germany to sell US artists in Germany, not sell German artists to the US'. 144.136.192.70 (talk) 05:08, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  The 1970s 

message: This entry on Vicky Leandros is not up to par to Wiki Standards.  It appears written by a fan and exaggerates her success, particularly after 1978.  Wikipedia must revise the article and remove non verified information, in particular I suggest anything related to her career after 1978 to be verified or removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nayumadehrafti (talk • contribs) 05:32, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Fan written article

message: The Greek Government Ministry website which stores basic details of all Greek citizens and which is available for all to reference states that Vassiliki von Ruffin ( alias Vicky Leandros) of Leandros and Kyriaki ( her parents ) was born in 1949 . So let that finally be an end to all other versions . 
Regarding the year of birth of Vicky Leandros : I have many items of memorabilia in my collection which show that 1952 cannot be the correct date as is said these days by so many people . One such item is a dated press photo of Vicky from April 1968 which talks of her love of driving sports cars and which states that she passed her driving test and has had her own driving license now for six weeks . In Germany you have to be 18 years old to do that and to drive unaccompanied on the highway . It is just another reason to prove the date must be 1949 or earlier .
Also I have in my possession a list of pupils in her class what we would call a class register from 1961/2 . Her name is listed among the others in her class which is a class year of 12 year olds . I have many more items also but these two examples are pretty defining I would say . I know people reading this cannot see them but I have these items and have no reason to make a false statement . 
I can also prove that her record company publicity regularly lied about her year of birth as anyone with items of memorabilia can also testify . For example her LP Star Magazin from 1981 states she was born in 1950 ! Whilst the same year from the same recording company the publicity for her new album Ich Gehe Neue Wege states that she was born in 1951 !  For the Vicky album release in 1983 she was described as being 31 years old implying 1952 as the year of birth though not actually stated in the press promo booklet . The album was released in October . 
Then publicity for her 1985 album Eine Nacht in Griechenland states 1952 as the year of birth . This was the first time I remember seeing this year of birth actually written in black and white rather than just a wrong age (younger by three years ) being written . Many earlier albums world wide when a year of birth was given it was always 1949 from the beginning of her career and for many years subsequently until it mysteriously started to creep ever forward to 1950 then 1951 through to 1952 . 
Any long time fan with a huge collection of records and memorabilia such as dated press photos and promo press booklets for the relevant albums will be able to agree with what I say . The date of birth given out (no doubt in collusion with the artist ) was ever changing .
