Talk:Tamara Toumanova

message: The cited site http://www.ballerinagallery.com/toumanov.htm is not a reliable source. It is "an unofficial fan site created and maintained by Jorgen Wilhelmsson"  and believes that "Tamara Toumanova (Tumanishvili) was born in 1919 by Georgian parents" while it is a fact that at least her father wasn't a Georgian. Citations like Georgian Dancers, LLC Books, 2010 and International Encyclopedia of Dance, Oxford University Press, 1998 are not correct, authors and pages are not mentioned.

replies: text: Yes, it is. So please stop your Armenian POV pushing. Tamara Toumanova was of Georgian ancestry. She has confirmed that in several interviews. You have yet to produce reliable sources supporting her alleged Armenian descent. Antique Rose — Drop me a line 10:05, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: As I asked earlier, you never provided any reliable sources. A source calls her mother "Georgian princess", you're using it as a source in support of her Georgian descent. Before starting editwarring please discuss and made consensus here. 176.14.208.162 (talk) 04:30, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I have provided several reliable sources, but you keep deleting them. That is considered vandalism. Toumanova has confirmed her Georgian descent in several interviews. Your sources are questionable at best. Toumanova's Georgian descent is an established fact. So, before you continue edit warring, please discuss. Your alleged sources lack ISBN, author and page references. One "source" refers to a search page of the Russian version of Google Books. Do you consider that being a reliable source?

replies: text:  Dear All, I don't understand why this is still being discussed as this issue was already addressed above in a section Sources. Firstly, she is of Polish/Ukrainian and Georgian descent, not just Georgian (or Armenian), her father was Khazidowich-Boretski, a Pole from Ukraine. Secondly, Tamara herself, her mother and her family and friends have stated that her mother is Georgian. These are primary sources and should be taken as facts, the rest is speculation and rumours. Thirdly, although we are mentioning an Armenian hypothesis, we don't need to put in so many sources, as most of the sources are citing each other, only sources from Lopato and Heppenstall are originals, the rest are citing them, so its in fact the same source (by the way of background none of them knew Tamara or her family well or at all, so its very much secondary sources). Finally, this information should not be in the first sentence of the article, she is known as an American ballerina and actress, period. This above info should be in the personal life section when describing her mums biography, so a request to admin should be to move this sentence about her descent further down the text and state that according to Tamara and her family she was Georgian, but some sources also note possible Armenian heritage. I believe this is objective and fair based on the information available. --DPetryz (talk) 22:29, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

message: * Правильно заблокировали основной текст. Не вижу необходимости детально разбирать личную жизнь  Евгении матери Тамары.Очень вероятно, что отец Тамары - Захаров Константин. То что фамилия Тамары с какого то времени стала Хасидовичь это факт.  
* Вероятно существуют документы о первом браке Евгении: известы родители Захарова Константина, где и когда он учился в гимназии, получал медицинское образование.Наверно сохранились записи в церковных книгах о регистрации брака и месте где проходило венчание. Где? в Грузии? или нет? 
* В Российских медицинских списках 1913, 1914, 1916 годов, в списках врачей СССР 1924 года Захарова Константина нет.Не ясно, видел ли Константин Захаров дочь Тамару после её рождения?
* Следует воздержаться от разблокирования основного текста.Я первым указал на текст грузинского издания, в котором упоминается Захаров Константин, как отец Тамары.Моя цель узнать более полную информацию о нем.

replies: text: The only 'source' this Zaharov appears is a georgian journal. Many reliable sources like A. Vassiliev, Lopato in their books, "Motion picture" #67-68 of 1944, also  mention Khassidovitch as her father. Rast5 (talk) 10:09, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: "Possibly there are documents on first marriage", "In the Russian medical lists 1913,1914, 1916"....etc All of this requires sources. If we had access to Tamara's Russian medical records and documents on Evgenia's first marriage, this dispute would not arise in the first place. So I'm really confused as to what you are trying to accomplish by continuously publishing this nonsense. Find me her medical records, find me Eugenia's  marriage certificate and that will be the end of the story.--Andriabenia (talk) 09:29, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: According to sources, Khassidovitch was her father, and her birth name was Khassidovitch (see f.e. Derek C. Hulme, 2010, p. 758). The only 'source' that thinks otherwise is that georgian journal, we have no reliable sources, and everyone except you sees its nonsense. Her Khassidovich surname is even proved by US Official Naturalization documents . It is a primary source for Wikipedia! Rast5 (talk) 13:31, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Правильно заблокировали основной текст. Have correctly blocked the basic text 

message: I am going to revert to the pre-revert war version, which means that the so called "references" that have been inserted afterwards will be removed. To avoid later confusion, I am going to restate what I discussed endlessly in the archived talk, as well as edit summaries when I first cleaned up the article.
* Ancesty.com search listing is not a proof of anyone's birth name. It can be, at most, a proof that such person existed and carried the listed name when she entered the US or when she was naturalized. Since we have no better sources for the birth name, I'm removing any notion of birth name, as I had done before, and it should not be reinserted unless there is a source that explicitly states what her name was.
* The sources inserted by user:rast5 either do not support the proposed text or use each other as references. Different works should not be inserted separately if they are all based on a single source or one another.
*Furthermore, it is a matter of common sense that the statements made by the personality herself should carry more weight than the "he said/she said" information dug up on the web. Deleting it, which user:rast likes to do, or throwing it with other sources is, therefore, unacceptable.
*Lastly, this is an English wikipedia and discussions must take place in English. Pasting Russian-language texts, as user:Shulyatikov likes to do, or pasting rough google translations that confuse us even more, are not welcome. As you can see, I archived this talk page only a short while ago and it is already full with text that no one can make sense of.--Andriabenia (talk) 14:28, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

message: * There are copies of service records of Dmitry Khassidovitch (he is a father of Vladimir Khassidovitch) through the links. Vladimir Khassidovitch changed his family name to his spouse’s (Evgeniya) family name at August of 1943. Next his full name became Vladimir Toumanov[]. He was buried with this family name [] and this family name was wrote in funeral documents of Tamara Toumanova []. 
A name such as Khassidovich should clearly indicate Jewish origin. As for stating that they were Georgian, how people described themselves in these decades of the 20th century may have little to do with reality, and everything to do with what they wanted people to think. The sources mean nothing. As for Wikipedia being an encyclopedia. As long as anyone can contribute or change it, it has no real standing as such.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.140.79.240 (talk) 04:12, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

::"Most historians point to a 1941 production of the third act titled “The Magic Swan”, performed by the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo at the Metropolitan Opera. Since, at that time, Western audiences knew Swan Lake merely by its second act (the “white” act), in order to make Odile’s role more distinguishable, the production had the ballerina who danced her, Tamara Toumanova, dress in a black costume."
