Talk:The Dying Swan

Issues I suggest for addressing prior to GA review
These are just some of the issues editors are likely to be asked to address. hamiltonstone (talk) 06:37, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * At the moment the "background" section is by far the longest and contains all sorts of material, beyond what i would call 'background' to this ballet. A section with such a name should contain only background material - the circumstances in which the ballet came to be created; the cultural content of ballet at that time into which this piece was introduced (for two examples). Material relating to its actual choreography; critical reviews and commentary - these should be in other sections.
 * For 'plot summary', I symphathise with not trying to improve on someone else's prose, but no-one is likely to support having a section that contains just a big quote. Has no-one else written about the plot and/or is there no way of improving the summary?
 * 'Performance history' should cover more than just the first performance. Some of the material from the section "Non-traditional interpretations and adaptations" may belong here.
 * There should be a section on critical reception and legacy.

One of the external links which is recommended for pictures of the Dying Swam being performed is now an "invite only" blog: http://gatochy.blogspot.com/2009/04/anna-pavlova-dying-swan.html Should it really be included when it can't be accessed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.7.139.71 (talk) 10:09, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

1905 or 1907
What is the date of the premiere, 1905 or 1907 ? The source used (note 5, "The Dying Swan". Oxford Dictionary of Dance. Oxford University Press) give 22 December 1907, not 1905 ? --BeatrixBelibaste (talk) 13:23, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
