Talk:Alexander Ostrovsky

message: If you are going to be pedantic enough to remove the second "e" from "Alexander" (i.e. Alexandr Ostrovsky), please be thorough enough to replace the "x" with "ks" (Aleksandr). Of course the Wikipedia MOS Police will cite you for policy violation, but you would at least be accurate and consistent.Ivan Velikii 07:06, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't have put it quite as rudely as that, but I agree with the general sentiment.  It should be either Alexander or Aleksandr, but never the hybrid Alexandr.  It's more common to see "Александр"s rendered as the English counterpart Alexander (see Alexander Glazunov and Tsars Alexander I, II and III, for example, but Aleksandr is not unknown.  The form Alexandr, on the other hand, is almost completely unknown.  --  JackofOz (talk) 11:55, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Name

message: And now it's been moved to the completely made-up-out-some-editor's-own-head version Aleksander Ostrovsky.  This is a hybrid of the strict romanisation (Aleksandr) and the usual English equivalent (Alexander).  It has no basis that can be supported, and it must make way for either Aleksandr or Alexander.  -- Jack of Oz  ... speak! ...  10:46, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Revisited

message: Removed some miraculously erroneous statements
* Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District (opera) is based on Nikolai Leskov's story
* Groza (The Tempest) is not set in Moscow, but on the coast of Volga as the first line of the play says.
* Description of Kuzma Minin as a butcher downplays his role as an elected city aldermen and partner in salt mining. I'd leave this statement since too much of his identity is based on conjecture by historians. NVO 19:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Freindlich.jpg

message: thumb|left|200px|Rybakov (as Bolshov) & Maksheev (as Rispolozhensky) in Ostrovsky's "Svoy ludy - sochtemsya" (It's a Family Affair, or The Bankrupt) in Maly theater (1892)
I've replaced this with a portrait for the moment - we'll have to find a spot for this. There are more images available. INeverCry 04:37, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article expansion - images 

message: This article is crying for a section with a list of Ostrovsky's plays, like the sections in other articles listing an author's works.
