Another option is that the essay was written by the author of the present article. --Ghirla | talk 11:42, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello. I find the biography section of the article Marius Petipa, which was added by User:Mrlopez2681 on January 15, 2006, almost the same to the page http://www.balletmet.org/Notes/Petipa.html . Reading his user page and considering the date of the article on Balletmet written, I have a strong doubt that it may be violating copyright. If not so, could somebody please indicate that the article of Balletmet is copyleft? The reason I am asking this is because, someone in the Japanese Wikipedia started translating this article, and if the "original" English version is illegal, the Japanese version will have to be deleted as well...

[edit] Spanish Dance

I would be interested in knowing something about Spanish dance at the time Petipa lived there. Does anyone know if this type choreography has been remembered or recreated? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cellorando (talk • contribs) 19:54, 8 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bayadere -Kirov -Lotus Blossums.jpg

Image:Bayadere -Kirov -Lotus Blossums.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

[edit] Birth date

The article says Petipa was born in 1818, but the biography at

So which date is the correct one? — Loadmaster (talk) 02:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm. I wondered the same thing. For what it's worth, Google has 34,200 hits for "Marius Petipa 1818", 28,800 for "Marius Petipa 1819", and only 740 for "Marius Petipa 1822". I'd be inclined to disregard 1822 on that basis, but that still leaves 1818 vs. 1819. But until we see a birth certificate or similar doco, we can't be sure - 1822 may even prove to be the right date for all I know. -- JackofOz (talk) 07:41, 29 April 2008 (UTC)


He was born in 1818. The best history on Petipa produced in modern times is Garafola's "The Diaries of Marius Petipa", which is pretty hard to get a hold of (it is sighted at the bottom of the article). Ballet history is infested with misconceptions and incorrect information that spreads from source to source. The confusion concernign his birth year comes from many biographies of his written by Russian ballet historians and from his own memoirs. ABT's web page has TONS of incorrect information, and their online list of repertory has lauaghable credits with regard to composers and choreographers (I have contacted them on this matter, but they really dont seem to care). I imagine many encyclopedia utilize the written accounts of the Imperial Ballet from the early Soviet era for sources, as these remain the most easily accessible concerning the ballet of the late 19th century in Russia. Balletmet's pages are not very good, and they havnt been updated for years. But anyway, yes, he was born in 1818.
