[edit]Only the coolest girl in the world, ever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.221.0.178 (talk • contribs)
Misha is not a girl, if that´s what you mean. However, Misha is the best olympic mascot ever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.24.216.10 (talk • contribs)
I used to read the magazine when I was a kid - any links to their publication house? I wonder if they are still in business. The last issue I saw of Misha magazine was in 1987. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.161.74.241 (talk • contribs)
For me, the section "Origines of the name Misha" has nothing to do with the subject of the article. I think, it should be deleted or moved somewhere else--83.237.108.148 05:21, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
The article starts: "Misha (Миша) is the name of the Russian Bear and the Iranian goat, ..." I don't understand what "the Iranian goat" (?) has to do with it 193.164.229.102 12:47, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
A few things:
1. "Михаил Потапыч Топтыгин in full" - wrong. Михаил Потапыч Топтыгин is a typicall name of a Russian fairy tale bear. However the olympic mascot bear does not have a full name.
2. It is necessary to explain to English speakers that Misha is a male name in Russian.
3. The mascot is widely known and refered to as Mishka or "the Olympic Mishka", not just "Misha".
If no one replies to this in a month I'll edit the article. Might want as well to rename it to "Oympic Mishka"

- This bear goes by "Olympic mishka". Not "Mishka" with capital, not "Misha" or "misha", cz it's not a name. The fact that term mishka meaning bear is somehow related to name Mikhail/Mishka/Misha is totally irrelevant in context of Olympic mishka (read Olympic bear). Olympic bear doesnt have a name, so article shuld be name "Olympic mishka", not "Misha" or "Mishka". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.21.11.95 (talk) 21:00, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
"Михаил Потапыч Топтыгин in full" is right. The article explains that both "Misha" (or "Mishka") and "Михаил Потапыч Топтыгин" are traditional Russian folk names for the bear, and "Misha" is viewed by Russians as the diminutive of "Mihail Potapovich Toptygin" (in "Mihail" the letters "a" and "i" are pronounced separately, in "Toptygin" "g" sounds like in "give". The Olympic Mishka's name doesn't have a full form, really; but the point is that for a Russian it REFERS to the bear's traditional full folk nickname.
