Talk:Chervona ruta

Sofia Rotaru a source on folklore?
Sofia Rotaru never studied folklore professionally, she was merely a singer, not a folklorist. Therefore another source should be cited. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 09:05, 22 June 2009 (UTC) Irrelevant argument.--Rubikonchik (talk) 15:03, 30 June 2009 (UTC) The incompetence of the cited source has all the relevance you can wish for. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 15:42, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Your argument remains uncler to me. Sofia Rotaru made Chervona Ruta a major Eastern European hit. I think she has some "comepetence". Why not to create a section "Chervona Ruta in pop culture" then? --Rubikonchik (talk) 16:05, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The statement is not on pop music which indeed ~would be Rotaru's competence. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 16:06, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Third opinion
Since I can't read russian, I'm assuming that the dispute refers to the second citation, the one where sofia rotaru is quoted on the flower and it is not the existence of the flower that is being contested but rather the use of the sofia rotaru interview to assert that the flower turns red on a special day. While I agree that the singer is probably not a great source on folklore, I don't see anything wrong with the way it is used here. Though the fact that she made the song popular lends some credibility to the statement the text is quite clear that this is according to Ms. Rotaru. It does not mislead the reader and correctly indicates that this is an opinion. --RegentsPark (sticks and stones) 10:33, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, thanks. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 10:40, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
