Talk:Young British Dancer of the Year

Unsourced items removed
I have removed the following from the article since I cannot at present find reliable sources for them:

Also presented is the £500 Sibley Dowell Award for Potential... Students from non-vocational schools can win scholarships to summer schools.


 * 2005 – 3rd Claire Calvert (RB, soloist )
 * 2007 – 3rd Nancy Osbaldeston (ENB)
 * 2008 – 3rd Lauretta Summerscales (ENB),
 * 2009 – Commendations Barry Drummond (ENB), Evie Ball

It looks as if Nancy has moved to Royal Ballet of Flanders but their website has a problem at the moment, so I will update the article once I have seen her entry there, if it mentions this placing. Lauretta is spelt Laurretta in her ENB bio, probably need to mention both names somehow if we find a reliable source for her.

The dancers' bios seem to avoid mentioning the third placing, perhaps they are thinking of Monopoly's "You have won third prize in a beauty competition. Collect ten pounds from every player." Thus the difficulty of sourcing the lower placings for earlier years where the only lists I can find are in forums, thus not reliable sources. This illustrates the importance of providing reliable sources when adding material. --Mirokado (talk) 18:50, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
