message: I gotta say, as much as it's probably not good for the article, I love the overenthusiasm and tone in the beginning of the trivia section. 24.21.71.123 07:39, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Trivia Nonsense

message: The pronunciation "mravitsa" isn't even close to how the last name is pronounced by Croatian speakers. Assuming the target audience is English-speaking, "mravitsa" would imply English-style "r" (incorrect, it's rolling), add an unnecessary "a" after the "r", and place the accent on the "i" -- all of which are incorrect.
This should either be expanded to correctly explain the pronunciation, or use IPA. The current pronunciation is misleading at best.  83.131.48.187 08:35, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just edited the pronounciation to what is stated in Maksim's most popular fansite. If it's incorrect, as I have gathered from what has been previously said, could a serb-croatian speaker please edit using the International Phonetic Alphabet?Rosa 19:10, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: Not to say that most trivia by definition isn't useless, but a lot of what is in this page's trivia section is completely worthless and irrelevant information. The fact that his (and his wife's?) favorite color is black seems unencyclopedic to me. The grammar in this section seems thoroughly atrocious as well. I've edited the section on a couple of occasions, but it has been reverted each time.
What exactly does being a "fastest-lightning-finger-playing-pianist" entail? I can sit down at a piano and play 20+ notes per second. I didn't know I was the fastest playing pianist in the world! This section either needs to be clarified or removed.
: Yes, 14 notes per second is pretty paltry.  Indeed, 100 notes per second is easily doable (playing chords), and there are plenty of passages which, if appropriately written, can be played at upwards of 20 consecutive notes per second.  Even Ligeti's awkward Continuum for harpsichord, which uses repeated notes and such, can be executed faster than that.  I vote that, in the absence of clarification, this part be axed.  I would not, however, remove information such as his favourite colour--it's pretty useless, to be sure, but it's interesting, and Wikipedia is not bounded by the same practical space limitations as a paper encyclopedia, so there's no point being excessively persnickety over things like that.
