A fact from Ella Adayevskaya appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 June 2006. The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that Russian composer Ella Adayevskaya took her pseudonym from the notes played by the kettledrum in Mikhail Glinka's opera Ruslan and Ludmila? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/June.

I found after beginning to correct this article that much of it was a verbatim transcription of the article in Oxford Music Online. Moreover other material in the article was incorrect. I have therefore substantially rewritten it.-- Smerus ( talk) 19:09, 22 January 2016 (UTC) reply
