"For ME"[edit]

I didn't get to watch the event, does anybody know if that paragraph is true or false? If so, can we get a citation? Even if it is PPV coverage of the event?Balloonman 18:51, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hahahhaha, if it's true then he really likes Rocky IV. 22:14, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

In that case I'm removing it as creative vandalism. Thanks...Balloonman 22:27, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Page name[edit]

I'm gonna move this to "Alexander Kravchenko", seeing as his name is given as Alexander, rather than Alex, by Cardplayer.com [1], Worlds Series of Poker.com [2] and Thehendonmob.com [3]. Thethinredline 20:57, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is no need to, the beginning of the article is fine, see WP:COMMONNAME▪◦▪≡ЅiREX≡^Talk 21:03, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move back to Alex Kravchenko[edit]

I'm going to move the page. In regards to thethinredline's move, although his name in Alexander, Kravchenko's biggest exposure (arguably) was at the 2007 World Series of Poker Main Event, where he was constantly refered to as Alex. And as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names), "Names of articles should be the most commonly used name...". HidyHoTim (talk) 10:21, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Although I appreciate you being bold in this regard, the WSOP coverage is not the be all and end all of what WP:COMMONNAME means entirely. Take Joe Hachem for example, his WSOP win, and for a period after that, referred to him as the complete Joseph. However he refers to himself as Joe, all supporting names commonly now refer to him as Joe, and even the WSOP refers to him as Joe. The coverage to the mainstream has shifted, but the common name is still the "less common" name from the initial coverage. –– Lid^(Talk) 07:45, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
