Talk:The Royal Ballet

The Royal Ballet
The changes to this page should not have been made. The correct name of the ballet company (as per its royal charter) is The Royal Ballet (notwithstanding what some new marketing materials may suggest) and the deletion of the definite article does not accord with the wiki policy on article names.

 * That's correct – the company's name is The Royal Ballet (just as the opera company is The Royal Opera). Would you be happy for me to revert these changes? OperaBalletRose (talk) 17:26, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes please. I'd do it myself but I don't think I'd be much good at the swapping pages around bit! Lee McLernon 09:23, 6 December 2012 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbombbardier (talk • contribs)


 * Great, thanks – all done! OperaBalletRose (talk) 16:48, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Excellent; many thanks. Lee McLernon 08:18, 7 December 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbombbardier (talk • contribs)

Link to List of works performed by The Royal Ballet, from A to ... A
The article has a 'further' style link to List of works performed by The Royal Ballet, but that list has not been developed in the past several years from a stub containing only 3 works under the letter A: the sections for B .. Z have never existed. Would anyone like to complete it, or should it just be deleted, along with the link here? Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:33, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Principal dancer section
I have to ask, why is this section in table format? Hong Kong Ballet, Birmingham Royal Ballet, Charlotte Ballet, English National Ballet, Ballet West, San Francisco Ballet, Queensland Ballet and American Ballet Theatre are the only other English-language ballet company articles to feature this strikingly unattractive format. Apart from the New York City Ballet, which has its own article, List of NYCB dancers, which appears to be an attempt at an exhaustive list of every dancer, ever, with NYCB!

What I'm saying is, there should be a standard format, either all tables, or all columns. Thoughts?Sophoife (talk) 10:21, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
