 * Hello, Adakiko. The New York article title was altered, "Russian Singer" was changed to "Ukrainian Singer" by a vandal and then it was used to reference Vertinksy's supposed "Ukrainian Jewish" ethnicity in the lead. But even then a newspaper obituary can't be more reliable than professional biographies — and there are plenty of such sources referenced in the article, none of them ever mentioned Vertinksky's supposed Jewish roots, including his memoirs. A lead can't contradict the article itself. Lastly, mentioning one's ethnicity in the lead is not common in Wikipedia. I understand why it happens in articles about Russian personalities, but still. 109.252.92.138 (talk) 14:40, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
