replies: text: I have rerated it as B. Any higher rating should be preceded by either a GA-review (for GA-grade), peer review (for A-grade) or FA-review (for FA-grade). While the illustrations are beautiful, I would suggest scaling them down a bit (a lot); Wikipedia is not a picture book. Furthermore, I am afraid the acknowledgement should go; the place for acknowledgements is on the page for the image itself. Errabee 15:13, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the suggestions.  I reduced all the images to thumbnails and removed the acknowledgment. Gr8white 23:34, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Aaarrgghh!  Now we're right back where we started:  Ludmila the poem, Lyudmila the opera and Lyudmila the film.  No one has proposed moving those articles or given any compelling reason not to move this one to be consistent (and basically to put things back to where they were before someone moved this with no explanation). And I'm sure there would be no consensus to move those others either. Gr8white (talk) 15:07, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure that consistency is necessary but I would support moving the opera to Ruslan and Ludmila (opera) for reasons I gave above.  The film should also be at that spelling per WP:NC(F) ("Use the title ... under which it has been released in cinemas or on video in the English-speaking world").  See the poster used in the article and this source for evidence of usage.  I think some other participants above might agree. —  AjaxSmack  19:58, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The story-telling cat is also a part of the old Russian folklore, he's called Kot Bayun (Кот Баюн) meaning "Cat the Teller" in the Old Slavic. In the tale of Ivan Tsarevitch the cat has an enchanting voice of a serene and can be catched only with the iron gloves, obviously a later substitution of a Sirin bird with Bayun, who has a little common with him. Why Bayun is a teller it is simple: a cat's purring sounds like murmuring words. Actually Bayun is a representation of "kaliky pereshozhiye" (wandering bards) since their attributes are similar: slowly walking, lonely, mysterious people, probably practicing some word magic like sheptuns (whisperers) -- all similar to a cat. I think all that should it be mentioned in the article; or better do some research on Kot Bayun and make a separate article on him. Efenstor (talk) 20:13, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the info.  I'll try to dig something up on Kot Bayun and maybe add a footnote to this article.  If you think an article on him is worthwhile - why not research and create it? Gr8white (talk) 00:33, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I note there is a ru:Кот Баюн, which might provide a start.  4pq1injbok (talk) 02:03, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

message: If you think Rathmir leaves the castle and meets a "fisherman woman" in song 4 please cite the lines that lead you to believe that.  First of all there is no such thing as a "fisherman woman"; a fisherman by definition is a man.  A young woman comes to Rathmir and wakens him with kisses while he is still in the castle.  That's where "we leave him" until song 5, where we find he has found his true love and become a fisherman. Gr8white (talk) 03:05, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
