Talk:Korney Chukovsky

Plagiarism
The article does not mention the fact that several of Chukovsky's works are controversial because they appear to have been plagiarized from contemporary Western children's works. For example, Doctor Aibolit is obviously a ripoff of Doctor Doolittle, which was published a few years before that by an English-speaking author. This should probably be addressed while citing scholarly sources. 74.85.68.133 (talk) 04:33, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Best selling?
I just heard in the news that Chukovsky remains the best selling Russophone author, even ahead of Pushkin. Can anybody check this? --Ghirlandajo 02:37, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Tags
So the article was tagged as needing cleanup, wikification, and expansion. I don't see anything so obviously bad as to require cleanup. It's pretty thoroughly interspersed with wiki links, so that tag is simply ludicrous. Finally, it runs to a reasonable length, and there's no indication of an actual request for expansion, or any suggestion here of what needs to be expanded on. Without that, it's just slapping a bunch of unsightly tags on a perfectly decent article. When that's the case, the tags themselves detract more from the reading experience than any flaw in the article might. --Michael Snow (talk) 16:01, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

+1 more image related to Korney Chukovsky: Image:Barmalei postage stamp.jpg. If somebody have any idea where in the article the image should be used then make it. --AKA MBG (talk) 18:32, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

category:Russian Jews
He had Jewish father, but this fact alone does not qualify his as a Jew, see Who is a Jew?. Please provide a reference which substantiate the claim that Chukovsky was a Jew. Lom Konkreta (talk) 16:07, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Dr. Seuss
The article compares Chukovsky to Dr. Seuss. I personally find Chukovsky vastly superior, which is of course very subjective and dependent on where you grew up. More to the point, the link that's questionable to begin with is dead. I propose to remove the reference to Dr. Seuss (sorry to all the fans) or at least to replace the link to something that works and shows some understanding of Chukovsky and Dr. Seuss beyond just absurdins but also the difference between them, without necessarily judging who's better or worse.
