[edit] Ballet stubs

A quick request to the project members: if you see any {{dance-stub}} templates on pages on ballet, please REPLACE them with the {{ballet-dance-stub}} or {{dance-bio-stub}} templates. The general stub category is currently so large that no one can use it. I went through a lot of ballet pages doing this, but I fear I may have missed many because I'm not so familiar with the content. Thank you!--Will.i.am 20:01, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

ps - I am VERY impressed with the way this project is coming together. I particularly like the "resources", and "photos" icons, which is a stellar idea. If we ever get a Lindy Hop Wikiproject together we're going to steal it.--Will.i.am 20:01, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks a bunch! You have to give all the credit to Keitei, she's the hard worker with the good ideas here :-)
I'd noticed the dance stub tags, I'll be sure to add that to our project guidelines. Thanks again! — Editor at Large(speak) 20:49, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 16:08, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mikhail Baryshnikov

Mikhail Baryshnikov has been selected as WikiProject:Biography's collaboration of the fortnight. Your help would be appreciated in moving the article towards featured status. - Mocko13 14:57, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:AlexNewArtBot - New Article Bot

Hi, I am in the trial runs of the User:AlexNewArtBot (see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/AlexNewArtBot). The bot reads all the new articles for a day and puts suspected Ballet-related articles into User:AlexNewArtBot/BalletSearchResult, the articles are suppose to be manually put into the portal page and/or removed if irrelevant. Or whatever you want to do with them.

The list of rules are in User:AlexNewArtBot/Ballet, there is also the log on the User:AlexNewArtBot/BalletLog explaining the rules that sent an article to the search results (the log is cleared every day, so try to look into the history of the log). Please contact me if you are interested in the fine tuning of the rules

That is all. Any suggestions are welcome. Alex Bakharev 07:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] On the project's image that used to appear in stubs and talk templates

I have deleted Image:Xiomara reyes Giselle06 reversed.jpg, which the project used as its "official" image. The image, originally falsely tagged and uploaded to Commons as PD-self, is a copyright violation from Gene Shiavone]'s website and there is no applicable fair use to use it in the project's templates. Easy enough fix, find a nice free image and use it in {{Ballet-dance-stub}} and {{WikiProject Ballet}}. Transclusion will take care of the rest, apologies for the inconvenience.

[edit] Tulsa Ballet

Hello all. I just created a page for the Tulsa Ballet and I thought you might want to bring it under your project's umbrella. Feel free to let me know what you think. Please contact me at my personal talk page. Nrswanson 06:37, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Who is assessing these articles?

I was rather shocked to find that John Lanchbery was put into the same so-called "level of importance" as Marius Petipa. Who is doing these assesments and what is their expertise in the field of ballet to know what is important and what is not?

What exactly is the criteria for these "assesments"? are they being assessed based on their imprtance to the art of ballet or their imprtance with regards to the quality of the way the article follows the wikipedia guidlines?

[edit] ClueBot incorrectly marked WikiProject Ballet as inactive

I removed the erroneous markup -- doing so is permitted -- and posted on User talk:ClueBot Commons the following:

WikiProject Ballet is not inactive! Every member of WikiProject Ballet has contributed since the beginning of 2007, all but three during the past month; it is a small project but its members far more active than most! Robert Greer 17:26, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ballets by choreographer

Category:Ballets by choreographer is under discussion at CFD. The category had been empty for some time but there are subcats in Category:Ballets that might be categorized there. Comment from those with some more specific knowledge of the topic would be most welcome to help generate consensus. Otto4711 (talk) 23:51, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] no longer empty

It is now well populated! — Robert Greer (talk) 22:58, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ABT, NYCB, Ballets Russes and Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo

There is discussion on Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2008 January 11 of the categories for ABT and NYCB dancers and Ballets Russes (and Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo) choreographers. It is proposed that these categories be deleted! One may post a comment there. Robert Greer (talk) 11:29, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Freddie Mercury - why is he covered by this project?

There is nothing at Freddie Mercury to indicate why he is considered for coverage by this project. Paul foord (talk) 00:38, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tidying {{WP Dance}} including |Ballet=yes

Tidying {{WP Dance}} to get it to work better is being discussed at User_talk:Happy-melon#Templates_WikiProject_Dance. Eventually {{WikiProject Ballet}} will become redundant Paul foord (talk) 02:44, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
