Balance edit
This seems a little to anti-Pugachev if you ask me. Could someone find some positive things about him?
Pugachev | Pugachev's Rebellion edit
I propose moving most of the insurection part of the article to the main article, Pugachev's Rebellion, and having a referring link. Thoughts? David Fuchs 22:05, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Whaa? edit
My beef is that all the sources I have list him as born in 1726-1728. I'm going to change it. If anyone disagrees, post here. David 00:49, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Both Brittanica and hrono.ru give 1740/1742. abakharev 08:39, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Eh, I guess. Damned book! Alright, I need to change it on Pugachev's rebellion. David 23:11, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Good Article? edit
So, anyone want to take a stab at it? I think it's well written, but possibly needs better citation. I'm not saying any of it is incorrect, because I don't know if it is, but, I think there could be better citation all around. I know the information is out there, it's just not my specialty.--Vidkun 14:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Date of Execution edit
10 January was the date in the OS calendar. It's clear from this, this and this that the relevant NS date is 21 January 1775. I'm making the correction in the article. -- JackofOz (talk) 07:14, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Pugachev vs. Pugachov edit
This article begins by giving the Russian form of the name with the "umlaut" over the e in Pugachev, which makes it Pugachov--but the English transliteration is Pugachev. The three Russian sources referenced at the bottom of the page all give -chov, so why isn't it Pugachov? I know we spent a couple decades calling Khrushchov "Khrushchev," but I thought when Gorbachov came along, we figured it out. Guess not. Terry J. Carter (talk) 16:43, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
- Its a bit confusing, from what I can see both are variedly used. The Britannica[1] and Collins dictionary[2] list it as "Pugachov" but then both the Columbia Encyclopedia and The Great Soviet Encyclopedia list it as "Pugachev".[3] Also, you can simply do a Google searche for Pugachev and Pugachov to see which one is more widely used; Pugachev clearly seems to be the more used one. The redirects are already there, it might be better to just add that its also spelled as Pugachov. Gotitbro (talk) 02:21, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- The name is written Pugachev but spoken Pugachov (stress on the last syllable) just like in Gorbachev etc. It is a russian specialty that a stressed "e" can be spoken as "o" or as "yo" (it depends...)Well if you like: good old Gorbachev is spoken in Russian "Garrba'chov". --FK1954 (talk) 19:54, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
