hmmm. Is it my imagination or does this not look exactly encyclopaedic? user:sjc

I added a couple references. I guess it is as reliable as the testimony of Burchard, who was there. By the way, Manchester gives a date of October 30 rather than November 30 -- not that it matters, but that's why I'm changing it. Antandrus 03:44, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Would be nice if we could actually read what you have to say on this. "what," in your opinoin, makes it not, sjc? Your religious POV? --69.214.227.51 03:50, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rename?

If this is "known more properly", should it be renamed to "Ballet of Chestnuts"? —Ashley Y 04:46, 2005 May 20 (UTC)

#REDIRECT is your friend. Pavel Vozenilek 22:51, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
Sure, but what should the article title be? —Ashley Y 23:34, 2005 May 20 (UTC)

[edit] Burchard's account

The account of the Banquet contained in this article does not correspond to that contained in Johann Burchard's Liber Notarum and is inaccurate in several important details. I have corrected these points but they have been changed back to the inaccurate forms. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.43.58.100 (talk • contribs).

Sorry about that; I don't have the text on hand, so I was going by memory. However, the edit did duplicate some information, specifically that about the offer of prizes. Could you clean that up to reflect the more accurate acount? Thanks... Mindmatrix 19:42, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Excerpt from source text?

It would be nice to read a translation from the source texts(s) of this event. I'm still not clear if this really happened or if it was just propaganda.
