replies: text: Yes, but is the form they use commonly? See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names). Kolindigo (talk) 22:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  No it's not, but for that problem there are the wiki redirects! This juggler needs an "official" page which will be "Vova Galchenko" because it's the most common (but lazy) transcription, and a redirect page with the correct name. But in the text is important to use the correct name, like in all wiki pages! Haex (talk) 19:19, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: No, the most important thing is to use the names they commonly use. The transliterations that the Galchenkos use are Vova and Olga in their professional names. Furthermore, by replacing-all, you are breaking several links. If you would like to add the Cyrillic alphabet spelling of their places, please add () in the lead (for an example, see Vladimir Putin). Otherwise, please stop making these changes. Kolindigo (talk) 22:38, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Wikipedia is not a commercial site... You can add the wrong transcription, but don't use it as the standard! Haex (talk) 19:59, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  But it's not "the wrong transcription". It's the transcription they use, and so it is the correct transcription. Please stop making these spelling changes unless you can cite a source that the Galchenkos have changed their preferred English spelling. Kolindigo (talk) 21:13, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

message: In the first paragraph of "biography" there is the line:  
Vova Galchenko is one of two jugglers that have successfully executed a 7 club 7 up 360.[clarification needed]
I can clarify what this is: in a juggling pattern with 7 clubs (7 club) 7 of these are thrown higher (7 up) so that the juggler can make a full pirouette underneath them (360). This is a harder trick than for example a 7 club 5 up 360 where the juggler keeps 2 clubs in his hands during the pirouette.
I don't know how this should be put in the article, or if this line should be there at that place at all. It is quite an accomplishment and says something about Vova's technical skill level, but it is not a standardised record or something alike. Any juggler could make up a new trick and have in his bio 'the only person to ever do ...'. 7 club 7 up 360 is hard though.. reaally hard... --Hapiel (talk) 21:10, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
