Hi. On List of most popular family names talk page you wrote
- Hmm. I'm Russian, and I think the Russian list is BS. Where's the data from? I have never even heard two out of four names on that list. --Lament
It looks like this article started out (Nov 2001) as complete nonsense and has gradually come good. There were originally two names under Russia: Tscherkasov & Dougorookiy. These look like a joke: Tscherkasov = Jerks off?
User:Rmhermen deleted Dougorookiy before your comment. Tscherkasov is still there but I'll delete it. That leaves Ivanov, Vasiliev & Deternov, all added by User:Menchi on 25 Dec 2002. From your comment there's still one of these you've never heard of. Try Menchi's talk page. Andy G 01:53, 12 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- Well, Tscherkasov and Dougorookiy (or, I would say, Cherkasov and Dolgorukiy) are real Russian family names. Although by no means commnon. --Lament
Why hello there. Sarge Baldy 04:05, Feb 3, 2004 (UTC)
