Article name edit
I think normal convention to disambiguate opera singers is to use their voice type, so this article should be named Mikhail Petrenko (bass). -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:27, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
Copyright problem removed edit
Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from: http://www.mariinsky.ru/en/company/opera/troupe/bass/petrenko. Copied or closely paraphrased material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and according to fair use may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly. The material may also be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Therefore such paraphrased portions must provide their source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. Diannaa (talk) 17:46, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
Date of birth edit
The cited date of birth (12/29/1975, probably Julian date) cannot be verified (source?). WorldCat gives 1976 as year of birth.--Alsfeld (talk) 17:54, 12 February 2019 (UTC)--Alsfeld (talk) 18:01, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
- The article started with 1976 as his YoB, until User:Tjmayerinsf changed it on 12 February 2015. Note that the category:1976 births remained unchanged. That editor has been blocked for copyright violations since April 2015. I suggest to restore the previously given date. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:43, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
