HELLO! the article is totally messed up by the latest editions of a Greenock-something. All information about Alexanders releases of Russian songs and Russian albums are gone. Can somebody please bring it back to where it was before this guy edited? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.178.119.118 ( talk) 22:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Since an IP changed his nationality to BEL just now, I have added a cite to confirm his Norwegian citizenship (which he got in 2000). Please do not change this without discussion here. decltype ( talk) 02:36, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Who the hell put that piece of information about Alexander Rybak cannot play the violin? It looks convincing the way the article is presented and written but there are NO sources whatsoever. I even Googled it and I couldn't find a shred of evidence that he couldn't play the violin. Need more info and possible source. Armabeedon ( talk) 10:06, 18 June 2009 (UTC):
I could be wrong, but I think his middle name is derived from his father's first name. Since his father's name is Igor (or Ihar in BLR), his middle name becomes "Iharavich". Similarly, we can deduce that Alexander's grandfather was also named Alexander, because of his father's middle name "Aliaksandravich". decltype ( talk) 13:53, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Dear editors. I am one of Alexander Rybaks admins of his social pages. He has studied this Wikipedia-page about him and has asked us to bring a request: Is it possible to delete the Chart-lists? As he says, he has not really been big on Charts since 2010 and he has long ago decided, he is not a "format-artist". His work is about so many other things, than Charts. He would be very happy, if the Charts could be removed. Another reason is, for every album on this page, there is links to seperate Wiki-pages where the charts can be found. Perhaps, that is sufficient? Removal of the charts could provide space for more interesting info, maybe:-)
If you need any info, we will be happy to help out. Here is the link to his recently updated BIO at his website: http://www.alexanderrybak.com/bio/
He has given us an updated list of his releases. I have already added the "Education" and "Awards" to the page, but I post the Release-list here, in case there is some new info, that could be used for update of the page. Thanks for your great work and updating of this Wikipedia-page. Best regards.

Due to the ridiculously disproportionate levels of protection affecting this article, the '2.3 2nd album (2010–present)' section is out of date. The album was formally announced on the 31st May and named 'No Boundaries', and is due for release on June 21st. This section also fails to detail Rybak's further involvement in the 2010 Eurovision, the release of the single 'Oah' on June 1st, or any other notable activity since the protect was added. I understand the need to curb vandalism, but the article has become factually incorrect and out of date due to the over-eager protection, which seems to have been applied in this particular case but not to other equivalent musicians, whom face the same levels of vandalism... -- ~ Analysethis ~ Anonymous Deity ~ Just a n00b ~ ( talk) 14:43, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
In alot of norwegian interviews with him people call him "Sasha". Is there a reason for this? Is it another name of his, or am I being ignorant and it means something in norwegian? Princess-pink95 ( talk) 14:24, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 2 external links on

my edit. You may add {{

Some months ago, somebody added under "Notes" the sentence: "Rybak won the Серебряная калоша-2010 (Silver Overshoe-2010) for Plagiarism Of The Year for Ya Ne Veryu V Chudesa, which resembles Aerosmith's I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing." (Note: This is "Superhero" in the Russian version.) Unfortunately there is no source for that statement. On the Russian Wikipedia site for Серебряная калоша, Rybak's name isn't mentioned. So I googled it and found a Youtube video with a "show" where indeed Rybak's Superhero is compared to Aerosmith's Don't Wanna Miss a Thing. I guess he didn't win the mentioned prize - but I don't know, and I don't speak Russian. Who can help? Paul Haferstroh ( talk) 00:02, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

All five sources report the same incident, 8 years ago, and some have exactly the same wording. It looks more like "sleb goss" than a meaningful statement on his part. In fact the Cosmopolitan article also says this (Google translation):
