Dear Myrtha (if we may call you that for short),

We hope you've noticed the new article on yr former professor Olga Maynard, which may surprise you (tho' at present we are having geek problems with posting the splendid picture of her in 1943--can you help?). This is, among other things, an effort to inspire a group of serious entries on *writing about dance*, sorely lacking in Wiki. Suggest that Wiki Dance group contact extant people in the field, such as Richard Philp, requesting information or even articles. (Notice how we're fast losing people from the dance boom.) You could set a standard there. Related to this article, we've opened a stub on Bill Como, and made external links to the *Dance Magazine* tiny stub.Alethe 11:56, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for contacting me but I am unsure exactly what you are asking. Queenofthewilis 10:56, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Swan Lake

Thanks for your great additions to the Swan Lake article! ...and welcome to Wikipedia. =) Guermantes 01:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!!!

[edit] Alessandra Ferri

I created the Ferri article because there wasn't one and I thought it was needed, but it was in no way meant to be a thorough article. I tend to start basic articles and fix other peoples', because I find that people are afraid of starting new ones (too much work) but are more willing to edit/expand existing ones. Thanks for working on it, and the articles you've been adding too. You're doing a lot of great work and WikiProject Dance needs more people like you!— Editor at Large^(speak) 15:39, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Great work

I, Editor at Large, hereby give you this Exceptional Newcomer Award for your exceptional contributions to dance and ballet-related articles. Keep up the good work; you're doing amazing stuff!

[edit] WikiProject Ballet

Hello, Queenofthewilis! I noticed that you are a member of WikiProject Dance. Keitei, a fellow member, and I have begun a WikiProject for Ballet in my userspace. We hope to recruit enough members to make this a feasible WikiProject, and would appreciate your support! You can join at the WikiProject page or leave any suggestions on the talk page.
Thanks! — Editor at Large^(speak) 23:08, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

		Great wiki editing - sorry it's only a small barnstar but highly deserved! Dr Spam (MD) 16:56, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the spring cleaning (even if it's not that time of year) on the A.B.T. entry! Robert Greer 13:51, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kevin McKenzie

Hi. Thanks for your message. It's quite easy to move an article. Just click on the 'move' box at the top of the page and follow the instructions. It's generally considered better to move pages rather than to create a duplicate article then delete the old one, as the history is then preserved. Check out WP:MOVE for more details. To delete an article, meanwhile, you can add a speedy deletion template - {{db-}} followed by a specific request. For example, in the case of a biography, it would be {{db-bio}}, or {{db-redirect}} for a redirect. Hope this helps. Cheers Paul20070 (talk) 14:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Glad it worked ok. Cheers Paul20070 (talk) 11:37, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I have to ask why you moved the article - I moved it from its original title to Kevin McKenzie (ballet dancer) as that was much more appropriate. The title that it has now is too long and would not show up in any sensible search for Mr McKenzie were it not for the redirect that your move created. Wikipedia articles should have titles that are concise and to the point. From Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people), emphasis added:

Some standardisation of the bracketed disambiguator is possible, for example "(musician)" and "(politician)" are very recognisable. Try to avoid abbreviations or anything capitalised or containing hyphens, dashes or numbers (apart from where more specific guidelines specify particular exceptions to that), and also try to limit to a single, recognisable and highly applicable word regarding the person at hand.

Thank you for your follow-up message on my talk page. I have moved the article back to Kevin McKenzie (ballet dancer). – ukexpat (talk) 13:50, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ondine

May I alert you to a discussion on merging Ondine (Sir Frederick Ashton ballet) into Ondine (Henze)! — Robert Greer (talk) 18:54, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
