message: there seems to be some kind of discrepancy on the date of birth:
*2 May 1953 → 
*21 Sep 1953 → 
are there any other validating sources out there?  --emerson7 | Talk 18:22, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I know it's just a transliteration, but I think in English the more common spelling is 'Gergiev'. Perhaps the article could be moved? Leoniceno (talk) 09:46, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Every concert rpgoramme etc that I've seen uses Gergiev - indeed other than the opening he's referred to throughout the article as Gergiev! David Underdown (talk) 09:28, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

text: I moved it. Even his own homepage uses the commonly accepted spelling, so this WP article going against that is WP:OR Antienne (talk) 23:09, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling of the Name 

message: I've made some changes according to real information available on network - videos, information agencies etc:
''
conducted a concert near the ruined building of the South Ossetian Parliament as tribute to the victims of the war and said that 2000 innocent people were killed, but this face was never proved and denied by all sides of war''
This is confirmed information and this shame shouldn't be hidden from history. Not saying real bad things for person is really bad thing. Especially when we are accusing nations for things they've never done. This is shame of Gergiev, this is fact and this should be on this page do you like it or not. 94.43.121.165 (talk) 22:52, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why are you hiding facts 

message: Should his surname by pronounced as GjÉrgijev (with an E sound like in "Edward") or - as I would have expected given Russian spelling and phonetic rules - as GjÓrgijev (with the O as in "order")?  I've heard somewhere it should be Gjérgijev, but I'm suspicious...  Any information here would be most welcome!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.167.228.32 (talk) 21:44, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Involvement in Politics: Pro-Putin Stance 

message: I am not sure what this user is trying to achieve . The subject of this page has certain political views. He does not hide them, he expresses them publicly; he has every right to do so, and this was published everywhere. What's the problem? My very best wishes (talk) 03:17, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: @Voyage60. Please realize: this is not a negative information about living person. These are his political views he wants to be known by signing letters, giving interviews, etc. These are views he is probably proud of. Please see how that was done on ruwiki . Making something similar here would be fine. My very best wishes (talk) 13:22, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: English isn't my mother tongue, but doesn't the formulation he was fired smack of tabloid journalism? It sounds vulgar and as if someone is taking his hatred of Gergiev out on him. Isn't he was dismissed or he was discharged (from his functions) a more neutral and correct formulation? Glad to read any comments from people knowledgeable in English, and maybe see an improvement of the article. Herbmuell (talk) 10:37, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it's terribly important, but yes, I agree that "fired" is rather tabloidy word at least in British English.  (In US-English I think it may come across as a bit more mainstream.)   Then again, several of the sources referenced on the point are a little bit tabloidy.   Anyway, I've entered a couple of changes which you - or anyone else interested - are more than welcome to revert or, better still, to improve upon.   Be well. Charles01 (talk) 16:49, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you User:Charles01, and you caught a second instance of fired, too. This is much better. As to important or not, well, for me this is just common decency towards the person of the article. Herbmuell (talk) 17:07, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  ... he was fired on 1 March 2022 

message: There was a video about him created by Anti-Corruption Foundation of Aleksey Navalny. It is named Conductor of Putin's war, and it has more than 2 million views. Sure, this is something notable, and that was also covered in a number of sources, such as The Insider (see here) or OperaWire . Here is one of earlier publications from Reuters (Navalny demands EU crackdown on oligarchs close to Kremlin). This is not about his political views, but about a reliably sourced accusation of corruption. I do not see it on the page. He is a public figure. So, I think this must be included to the page in some form. So, according to the article in Reuters, for example, Navalny spoke about Putin's oligarchs: “They embezzle money, steal billions and at the weekend they fly to Berlin or London, buy expensive apartments and sit in cafes,” ... He singled out Valery Gergiev, chief conductor of the Munich Philharmonic, as a target for sanctions..."  But that article in Reuters did not provide details. The details are coming in "Insider" and video.  My very best wishes (talk) 22:31, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Given no response here so far, I am going to include this info. My very best wishes (talk) 02:27, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I've reverted you once again. Why are you attempting to turn this into an attack page? Do you want to damage Gergiev's career? (I think I will have to call admins on you.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:20, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I am sorry, but this is not a policy-based argument. This is simply an important sourced info to be included per BLP:Public figures. I think he even did not deny it. Did he? I did not see anything published with his denial. Perhaps I only used a sub-optimal link. It should be that one , and I can include a couple of additional references (above). My very best wishes (talk) 18:11, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I've already provided a rules-based argument. The link has nothing to do in the "External links" section. --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:41, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Which means you do not object to including this info to the page (as outlined above), but only object to including the link? My very best wishes (talk) 18:46, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure what you can make of this, would a sentence or two be enough for you? Right now, half of the article is really unnecessary political stuff. I think the "Political involvement" section should be trimmed. Could you trim it, please? Gergiev is not a politician, he is a musician, so the Wiki article should be about music. --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:45, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: If I tried to improve this page, I would probably follow page about him on ruwiki, (:ru:Гергиев, Валерий Абисалович). The info related related to investigation by Navalny takes a separate section on ruwiki. A musician, rather than a political/public figure? I am not sure. More than 50% of his page on ruwiki is not about music. My very best wishes (talk) 01:27, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

text: Plus, there is another article about it , by VAN Magazine, which is a good RS for this page. It describes more details. My very best wishes (talk) 18:35, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

message: It's not a sentence at all, is it? What if someone actually reads it? It needs to be corrected by someone who respects the Anglo-Saxon language.
