The uncanny similarity between the FIFA hymn and the Soviet anthem is a proven fact and, as such, has a place in Wikipedia. If you are not interested in facts, you shouldn't be interested in Wikipedia in the first place. --66.82.9.85 09:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure you don't mind citing a reliable source for that claim then; also, the way it is currently written, the statement rather reeks of POV. --doco (☏) 10:55, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Any person listening to these two anthems, no matter how musically literate, would be a reliable source: they are so undeniably identical that there is no need to go further than to compare the melody and to analyze the primitive harmonic sequence underlying both anthems (I₃, V₆, VI₃, III₆, IV₃, I₆, II₇, V). I am a classical musician (composer, pianist, violinist, organist, and singer) with 30+ years of experience. If this isn't enough for "citation," I don't know what is. The only necessary qualification, perhaps, would be that the FIFA hymn is identical to a part of the Soviet anthem, the latter being a rather lengthy contraption. 66.82.9.77 08:30, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Find a citable published source as per WP:V and then we'll see. --doco (☏) 10:21, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

The verifiable, citable published source, in this case, would be the Soviet anthem score. Buy it, and see for yourself. --69.19.14.35 16:11, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
