hey, any Russian speakers around? I'm seeing the same name transliterated as "Atmovian" and "Atmovyan". Is one more correct?

oh transliteration, how you grate

(not that I deal with cyrillic transliteration, so I can't actually be *helpful*, note, but :P)

CallerNo6: not a Russian speaker either, but I'm tempted to say "not particularly" here

Given how many releases seem to pick Sergey vs. Sergei seemingly at random for example

flamingspinach's suggestion is probably closest to the real pronunciation anyway, I bet :p

(and it's how Estonians would transliterate it, IIRC)

So it's not like two competing systems? It's more like, just pick one and shut up?

well
2013-07-01 18211, 2013
reosarevok
there are probably plenty of competing systems
2013-07-01 18215, 2013
Clint
it's an armenian name
2013-07-01 18228, 2013
Clint
so if it's soviet it's usually -yan and if not, usually -ian

reosarevok: I would say we would use i instead of j or y in most (all?) cases
2013-07-01 18208, 2013
reosarevok
SultS_: I think it mostly depends on the actual sound, but yeah, certainly i or j not y
2013-07-01 18236, 2013

Pjotr Tšaikovski uses j for one of the sounds and i for the other where English uses y for both :)
2013-07-01 18202, 2013
SultS_
ah yes, that’s true :)
2013-07-01 18223, 2013

y always looks weird to me, though :P

I'm seeing more google-hits for "y", not that that means much. Naxos uses "y".

soviet transliteration, probably

Is it totally evil to link to two discogs pages, rather than create a discogs account and merge two artists on their end?

I mean, my attention span is terrible as it is.

I'd say it's fine

CallerNo6: if one of them is clearly the main one, I'd only link that, because as soon as someone fixes the other, we'll have to remove the link again :/

Anyone thinking of buying a new laptop? The t431s on lenovo's website seems to have a pricing error that lets you take almost $300 off by selecting negative value software addons
