Talk:Svetlana Boginskaya

title
The original entry "Svetlana Boguinskaya" has been moved to the current Svetlana Boginskaya. --Roland 02:45, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Her last name is misspelled. On her private Facebook page, she spells her name "Boguinskaia". I fixed that in as many places as I could but I don't know how to change the spelling of the last name in the Wikipedia page title. -- a user, 22 November 2012

copyediting
The article contains a great deal of good content, but needs to be formatted with sections, referenced, and reworded and restructured to reflect a more encyclopedic tone (e.g., a "heartbroken Svetlana"). Eliz81 16:34, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

accuracy
The article claims that she's "a three-time Olympic Champion," however she did not win a medal at her third Olympics, and thus is not a three-time Olympic Champion; she is a two-time Olympic Champion & a three-time Olympic competitor. Ifalna (talk) 01:55, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

The article says: "She stunned audiences worldwide by competing with more difficult routines than ever before, and with an endlessly positive attitude."

The above sentence is opionin, not fact, and should be ommited. Words ending in 'ly' such as endlessy should be ommited because a) it is again opinion. b) technically it is not true. In order to be 'endlessly' positive, she could never be negative at any time, which is fairly impossible.

The original sentence in question should also be omitted because it is not the job of wikipedia to predict or extrapolate what went on in the minds of the audience. Unless the writer can see into the minds of the audience, they can never be sure they were truly stunned. It is also exageration to say so, unless the audience members were truly incapalbe of movement or speech for a short time, which is unlikely.

Someone more skilled than should omit any sentences from this article that are opinion based instead of fact base. Anyone agree? -- gamma —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.71.156.215 (talk) 12:01, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

"Goddess" nickname's origin
According to the current write-up in the article "she was called ... the "Goddess of Gymnastics" due to her height, balletic grace, and long lines." However, it is important to mention that in Russian her last name "Boginskaya" is a derivative of the word "boginya" ("богиня") which literally means "goddess" in Russian. Thus, the translation of her last name influenced her nickname. 72.37.171.68 (talk) 15:32, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
