Tattoo

[edit]

He has a "black sun" nazi tattoo on his belly, is that relevant?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.180.38.82 (talk) 19:51, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a "black sun nazi tattoo" but a kolovrat, a symbol of Slavic paganism which symbolizes the sun, the fire, the renewal, the rebirth, and that in in some areas it's still possible to find in folk handicrafts; as all Sergei Polunin's tattoos, it has no connection with any group / political faction, as he repeatedly stated.

The Kolovrat is used by a number of eastern european neo-nazi groups and is usually called the slavic swastica. You run around with a swastika on your belly people tend to assume you are a nazi, run around with a Kolovrat and they think you want to start WWI again.Litch (talk) 21:10, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake?

[edit]

I'm not a native English Speaker, but I'm quite sure that in the line "He was first shown in the international spotlight in the role of Slavemaster/Sheppard in the 25th Anniversary The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall." of the "Life and Career" section of this article there's a mistake with the word Sheppard. I believe this word doesn't mean anything and that it should've said Sheperd instead, as written in this article !!—Preceding unsigned comment added by Eilas beginning (talkcontribs) 09:32, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sergii PoluninSergei Polunin – The change of the title is incorrect, the name "Sergei" is the name used by all the official sources related to the artist Lils88 (talk) 20:42, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The change of the title is incorrect, the name "Sergei" is the name used by all the official sources related to the artist:

http://www.supamodelmanagement.com/image/543-sergei-polunin/
http://www.roh.org.uk/people/sergei-polunin
https://www.staatsoper.de/en/biographies/detail-page/polunin-sergei.html

as well as the name used by all his social media: although these cannot be used as source of the article, here are the links of his official accounts:
https://it-it.facebook.com/sergeipolunin.dancer/
https://it-it.facebook.com/DancerTheFilm

"Sergei" is also the name he is credited with in all the film productions he attended.  On the web you can easily find also photos of him autographs, where he signs "Sergei". Moreover, the note refers to a site that cannot be a valid source. Can anyone please move this article from Serii Polunin to Sergei Polunin? Lils88 (talk) 15:07, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]


I'm sorry, but since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a translation manual, don't you think the priority would be to give the correct information that is the name with which he is internationally known? Also, note that a part of the Ukrainian population speaks Russian. If this is not enough, he is an artist, so the name in Latin characters he chooses can be considered as a stage name: why does a dancer have to be treated differently from an actor, a lyrical singer or a painter? In any case, the current name is wrong both from a grammatical point of view, from an informational point of view, and from the point of view of the sources: why cannot we simply cancel an erroneous edit?

Thank you! And anyway, the correct transliteration from the Ukrainian language is provided in the introduction, so this information should not be lost
