Ömet Tawı, Kazan

Chaliapin was born in Ömet Tawı, Kazan. What is Ömet Tawı? Is it a part of Kazan? — Monedula 08:42, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

This what I've got:

Fedor Chaliapin was born on February 1 (OS) 1873 in Kazan, in the wing of merchant Lisitzin's house on the Rybnoryadskoaya Street, now Pushkin Street, 10 [sometimes named 14] (in the Soviet time it was Kuibyshev street, 14). This wing doesn’t exist now, but the house with the yard where the wing was situated is still there. On the next day, Candlemas Day, Fedor was baptized in Bogoyavlenkaya church in former Large Prolomnaya street (nowadays Bauman street). His God parents were the neighbours: the shoemaker Nikolay Tonkov and 12-year-old girl Ludmilochka Kharitonova.

The dwelling was expensive for Ivan Yakovlevich, served as a clerk in the Zemskaya Uprava (Land Council), and in 1878 the Chaliapin family moved to the village Ahmetyevo (also Ometyevo, or the Ometyev settlements, now the district of Kazan near Tikhomirnov street) behind the place named Sukonnaya Sloboda, and settled in a small house.

I try to incorporate this into the article, but please, correct my English.

AIDS

Just a note about the revision from the claim that he died of aids by User:Drinkbleach, I've reverted this back to Leukaemia. Documentable evidence of aids is current to about 1981, and it may have existed as far back as the 1970's, but Chaliapin died in 1938 when there is currently no evidence of the existence of aids. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.163.140.112 (talk) 17:35, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Feodor Chaliapin → Fyodor Shalyapin – Per WP:RUS:

ё should be romanized as "yo". Currently the title uses "oa" for "я".
His family name starts with the letter "Ш", so in English in should be "Sh" and not "Ch".
я should be romanized as "ya". Currently the title uses "ia" for "я".
Teyandee (talk) 15:38, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The article asserts that he used the romanization "Chyalapine" for his last name in the West, so that's the spelling that we should prefer, unless the best-quality sources refer to him by some other spelling. Standardized romanization is a fallback for those times when the preceding factors don't apply. 168.12.253.66 (talk) 18:29, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Chyalapine? I don't know what you're reading, but my screen says "He himself spelled his surname, French-style, Chaliapine in the West" (my bolding).
- I've always argued that we should spell Sergei Rachmaninoff's name that way (and not Rakh- or -ov or anything else), because this is the version he himself chose to use. Surprisingly, I find myself not wedded to changing Chaliapin to Chaliapine, although the Rachmaninoff principle would seem to apply. When I resolve this conflict, I'll get back to you. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 19:43, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The present article title is as per most commonly used English reference works: e.g. Oxford Dictionary of Music, The Rough Guide to Opera and Kobbe (albeit, the last mentioned spells the first name Fedor). Certainly 'Shalyapin', though a more correct transliteration, is not what most English readers would look for to find the article. We should bear in mind what most people will look for as per WP:ENGLISH. Alfietucker (talk) 18:41, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The current title is his common name in the West, whatever common Romanisation today might be. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:26, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose (as the author of much of WP:RUS :)). The intent of the WP:RUS guideline is to resolve situations where no one commonly used English spelling exists or where several spellings are equally common. This is not the case with Chaliapin.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); October 7, 2013; 14:47 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

File:Boris Kustodiev - Portrait of Fyodor Chaliapin - Google Art Project.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Boris Kustodiev - Portrait of Fyodor Chaliapin - Google Art Project.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on March 2, 2020. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2020-03-02. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks!

Picture of the day

The Portrait of Chaliapin is an oil-on-canvas painting by Boris Kustodiev, produced in 1921. Feodor Chaliapin was a Russian opera singer; possessing a deep and expressive bass voice, he enjoyed an important international career at major opera houses. He is depicted here wearing an expensive fur coat, which had come from a Soviet warehouse containing items confiscated from rich people during the Russian Revolution, and which he had received in lieu of payment for a performance. The background shows festivities at the traditional folk holiday of Maslenitsa. Dressed in a smart suit and holding a cane, Chaliapin is portrayed as having risen above his contemporaries. His favourite dog is at his feet and, at the bottom left, his two daughters stroll on the festive square in front of a poster promoting his concert. This copy of the painting is in the collection of the Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg.Painting credit: Boris Kustodiev

Chaliapin recorded Ey, ukhnem! on October 9, 1922 (Victor 88663). Lauretano (talk) 05:16, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Two things. First, you need to provide a citation for that information, otherwise it is just your assertion. Second, this discussion really needs to be at File_talk:Эй,_ухнем!_-_Фёдор_Шаляпин.ogg to get the date there correct, the file is used in multiple WPs and on multiple articles in the English WP. I've listened to the start of this recording and compared it to the Victor one and they sound rather different. Either (1) someone has been cleaning up the Victor recording to make the Commons one or else (2) Chaliapin recorded it twice. Either way we need information from a reliable source. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 10:16, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Martin, I took your advice and consulted File_talk:Эй,_ухнем!_-_Фёдор_Шаляпин.ogg, which claims that that recording is not by Chaliapin at all. Lauretano (talk) 06:37, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've responded there. The claim that it was Jadan doesn't stack up if the article on him on the Ukranian Wikipedia is correct. I can't read Cyrillic, so I'm afraid my investigations are limited to obvious dates and if I have to then Google Translate. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 08:17, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted Bertram and replaced it with Salieri. The reason is that he sang Bertram only while at the Mariinsky around 1894 before he came to the Mamontov Opera. Salieri was acclaimed by discerning critics (see, e.g., Levik "Reminiscences of an Opera Singer") as perhaps his greatest achievement, higher even than Boris. Unfortunately, that role needs a thorough knowledge of Russian on the part of the listener to be fully appreciated. However, he sang it in London in 1927 to a full house (Albert Hall?), see Moor's "Am I Too Loud?" Senior Seismologist (talk) 19:33, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Salieri instead of Bertram

Sorry, I did not start a new section to explain my edit, but inserted my explanation at the end of the preceding section. Also, this is a try at my correct signature en:Senior Seismologist — Preceding unsigned comment added by Senior Seismologist (talk • contribs) 19:42, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
