According to the article, Leonov only spent 1 d 2h 2m in space, which is the time for the Voskhod 2 mission, yet he was also part of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, which, for the Soyuz crew lasted 5d 22h 30m, bringing his total time in space to 7d 32m. Is this correct, or am I just mistaken? -- GurraJG 17:11, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't know what this is about, but email is not a verifiable source. I have removed it from the article. -- Jtir 11:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

The Leonov in Stanley Kubrick's movie 2010:_The_Year_We_Make_Contact featured a spaceship to Jupiter, was named in honor of Alexei Leonov. Pomona17 ( talk) 14:48, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
All true except that it's not a Kubrick film. It was directed by Peter Hyams with no input from Kubrick. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.223.130.60 ( talk) 04:54, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

This may have already been discussed and finalized, but . . .
All the books and printed info I have in my library has Leonov's first name as "Alexei" NOT "Alexey" nor "Aleksei."
This may not be an important issue, but I'd like to know why "Alexey" is used. 2600:8800:50B:6700:C23F:D5FF:FEC5:89B6 ( talk) 05:59, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

What do you want to do with these? Sure is a lot of stamps. Kees08 (Talk) 07:08, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
There is a PD image of Leonov holding one of his drawings in space, which could replace the fair use image we have. Seems like an obvious choice but thought I would ask first. File:Leonow,_Alexei.png Kees08 (Talk) 17:52, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
The initial publishing date is listed as 2006 in the article, however Christine Toomey's website says 2004 and there is a Guardian review from 2004. I looked it up on Worldcat, and the 2004 edition even has a different cover and the introduction was only written by Armstrong. I'm not sure what source is the best RS for the information, ideas? Kees08 (Talk) 06:53, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
The article provides two different maiden names for Leonov's wife. The section "Early life and military service" says, "On 13 December 1959, he married Svetlana Pavlovna...." The "Later life and death" section says, "Leonov was survived by his wife Svetlana Dozenko" (latter statement provided by me). Both statements are supported by citations. If anyone can resolve this contradiction with reliable authority, please do so. — O'Dea ( talk) 19:21, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

The correct and standard romanization of Алексей Леонов is Aleksey Leonov, not Alexei Leonov. For purposes of standardization and simplicity that should be the article title.-- PlanespotterA320 ( talk) 17:31, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
Tal (who would become world champ) played two games against Leonov in 1949 and 1950 but we do not know the first name of his opponent. Is it possible that it was the this Leonov who played Tal? Both would have been juniors and Tal in 1949 was not yet a titled player which would have made it more plausible that they could have played against each other -- several years later and Tal was already playing at high levels and unlikely to have been paired against an amateur. 50.230.251.244 ( talk) 04:12, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
