[edit] Minor question

How is Fedkiw's surname pronounced? Is it FED-kew? — Athaenara ✉ 23:00, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Did I add it correctly to the article?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 23:52, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Yes, I think so. — Athaenara ✉ 04:10, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't agree. Ron told me how to pronounce his name. "Fedko The "w" is a greek omega, and the "i" is silent. Ron" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.135.195.68 (talk) 03:21, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
