Royal Danish Ballet
Is there a problem with WikiProject Ballet? I notice that you reverted it to WikiProject Dance on the Royal Danish Ballet talk page, likewise Patricia McBride. — Robert Greer (talk) 14:37, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, unfortunately, the Ballet does not allow for an independent importance rating for the two separate wikiprojects for which it posts. I left you a message about it on your talk page, but I think that I am not describing the problem very well. I'll try again.


 * The WikiProject Ballet labels the article as part of two different wikiprojects, Wikiproject Ballet and Wikiproject Dance. Because it does this, and because both wikiprojects allow for articles to be rated by importance, both wikiprojects can receive importance ratings within the single template. The Ballet, when written out like this: has two separate entry locations for each projects' importance (one at "importance=", for Wikiproject Dance, and one at "Ballet-importance=", for Wikiproject Ballet). Unfortunately, the template always lists the importance for Wikiproject Ballet as whatever is written in for Wikiproject Dance, even when something different is written in, as in the example above. When I figured this out, I posted on the template page the problem, but received no answer. Eventually, I figured out that the WikiProject Dance did work in the respect that the WikiProject Ballet did not and, as it seemed to do exactly the same job as the the WikiProject Ballet when written as such: , I posted that template instead of the other.


 * I don't know if there actually is a difference in the results of the two templates, I only know that one does not allow for what I think is an important distinction. Please let me know if I am relating the problem adequately, if I am creating a problem that I am not aware of, or if you have any other solutions. Dkreisst (talk) 23:36, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I had little to do with the WikiProject Ballet template; User:Paul foord and User:Editor at Large are perhaps the people to talk to about this problem (or User:WOSlinker, User:MSGJ, User:Ms2ger, User:Kbdank71, User:MelonBot). — Robert Greer (talk) 20:32, 14 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll leave them a note about the problem. In the meantime, would you consider reverting your edits to Talk:Arabesque (ballet position), Talk:Raymonda, Talk:Les Sylphides, and La fille mal gardée as there seems to be no difference between the templates besides the presence of a bug in WikiProject Ballet? Dkreisst (talk) 22:24, 15 February 2012 (UTC)


 * There is one significant difference between WikiProject Dance and WikiProject Ballet, that being the WikiProject Dance and WikiProject Ballet To-do lists. My own view is that these are no less important than seperate importance ratings for the two WikiProjects. I would leave the templates as they are and get the underlying problem fixed rather than change a bunch of templates from WikiProject Ballet to WikiProject Dance only to have to change them back later. — Robert Greer (talk) 13:38, 16 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah! I had no idea. Thanks! Dkreisst (talk) 19:10, 16 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Could you link to those lists so I could see what you are talking about? I assume you are not referring to the to-do template on the Wikiproject page. Dkreisst (talk) 19:15, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

It is the templates' to-do lists to which I refer; the underlying lists may be found at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dance/to do and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ballet/to do. I hope you will wait for the templates to be fixed as there is already quite a handful which will need to be changed back to WikiProject Ballet: — Robert Greer (talk) 13:22, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure I see the connection. I don't know much about the to-do list process: does adding a wikiproject template to a talk page make an article appear on the do to template? It seems that the to do templates are updated by editors independently of what kind of talk-page wikiproject template they have (or even independently of whether they have any talk-page wikiproject template). If you have time, could you direct me to a place that would explain this?  Dkreisst (talk) 00:21, 18 February 2012 (UTC)


 * If you click on the [show] box in the lower-right corner of WikiProject Dance it will display the WikiProject Dance To-do list; doing so on WikiProject Ballet shows the WikiProject Ballet To-do list. There are tabs for edit, history, watch and purge at the top of each, and anybody who wants to can add topics to the lists (or delete topics from them as they are completed). Please contact the author(s) of Template:WikiProject Ballet and Template:WikiProject Dance for assistance fixing the problem you have found before you change more of the former into the latter, as doing so will result in what are clearly ballet articles showing the WikiProject Dance To-do list instead of the WikiProject Ballet To-do list. — Robert Greer (talk) 18:41, 19 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh! I completely missed that!  Thank you for taking the time to explain.  It seems to me that, in the merging of the Ballet and Dance templates, the mergers created a conflict that they should have resolved by providing that both to-do lists would be listed on the merged template.


 * I don't know how the people over at Wikiproject dance feel about it, but, by adding " |Ballet-todolist = yes" to the dance template, it will change the to-do list from the Dance to-do list to the Ballet to-do list. A solution!  You may notice that this is the case for the template that you linked to at Template:WikiProject Ballet: if you view the script, you will see that the example at the top of the page is, in fact, a Dance template. Dkreisst (talk) 06:25, 20 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Does this solve the issue you have with the template? If so, I'll go back and modify all the templates that I added and changed so that they show the Ballet to-do list.  Dkreisst (talk) 06:50, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

I've added a Dance-importance parameter to the WikiProject Ballet banner & have updated Talk:Royal Danish Ballet to use that. Hope this is ok. -- WOSlinker (talk) 09:24, 8 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you. That works beautifully. Dkreisst (talk) 00:37, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Ballet 2
I've been away from the Internet since last Friday — oh, bliss! — and was on but briefly yesterday or would have gotten back to you sooner.

Take a look at Talk:Corey Snide. I created an idiot's delight template WikiProject Ballet 2 that adds |Ballet=yes|Ballet-todolist = yes| to whatever ever parameters are fed it and passes the list to Dance.

Let me know if it works properly, so I can replace WikiProject Ballet with this simpler piece of code, and you'll be able to add you ratings to the template that's there instead of having to type  {{WikiProject Dance | category=no | Ballet=yes | Ballet-todolist=yes |  and so on! — Robert Greer (talk) 13:55, 24 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Ignore the previous | category=no |. — Robert Greer (talk) 16:25, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Bliss. :)


 * Do you know how to fix the template at Talk:Corey Snide so that the ratings show? I don't even know how to start creating a template, much less feeding or passing them.  It would make sense to me, if it were possible, for both to-do lists to show on the template, as is done with {{WikiProject United States|class=start|importance=|WA=yes|WA-importance=|Seattle=yes|Seattle-importance=low}} for WP Washington and WP Seattle, but, again, I have no idea of how to do this. Dkreisst (talk) 00:54, 25 February 2012 (UTC)


 * No, I don't; a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and I have very little knowledge of template coding, which must therefore be a very dangerous thing! — Robert Greer (talk) 16:24, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * You are right that the Dance template as it currently is an awkward template in that it has so many parameters that make it so long, but as neither of us knows how to create a new template that works or fix the Ballet template, it looks like we're stuck for a bit with the Dance template. I'll finish up changing the to-do lists, just to not leave a job half finished. Dkreisst (talk) 21:18, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Nalo Hopkinson photo
Thank you for the note -- the photo didn't meet the Commons guidelines and was deleted, so I will go fix the caption in the article. Thanks again! OttawaAC (talk) 00:12, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Atch, darn. Thanks for your effort. Dkreisst (talk) 00:16, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Emily Johnson
You're welcome. Amusingly, I thought I was looking at the end of the New Pages list (the older articles), not the beginning, or I wouldn't have jumped on it so quickly. It was only after I made a few edits that I noticed you had created the page only moments before. Apologies if I interrupted you :) heather walls (talk) 19:42, 7 January 2013 (UTC)


 * No interruption at all. I was impressed with how quickly you got to work on it. Dkreisst (talk) 00:29, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Mariinsky to Marian
I saw your comments on User talk:WPK's page and you have my support for the position you've taken there. However, I think that we might be advised to raise this on the Wikipedia talk: WikiProject Opera's talk page (of which I am a member) and get some additional feedback and, I hope, support for changing this back to Mariinsky. What do you think?

If you make a statement of your case on the WP Opera page, I'll immediately support you (though I'm in Milan right now and I'll be on my way from Milan, Italy to Santa Fe, New Mexico all day on Monday 6th, so may not have much time before 7 May). Best, Viva-Verdi (talk) 16:53, 4 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Viva-Verdi,
 * I was just about to revert it again when you wrote. If User:WPK doesn't involve himself in discussion and continues to move it, then it becomes an admin problem.  If he does involve himself in discussion then he'll either have a valid point or he won't. Right now, though, he has not responded to the most current problem presented to him.

Ballet Dancers
Hi Dkreisst Can you please tell me why you removed my edits of "as of November 2013?" I am struggling to learn how to use user talk and how to create a user page, so I am sorry if this is the incorrect way to contact you. SpiritedMichelle (talk) 04:18, 12 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you for responding so fast. I was editing ballet dancer's profiles to say "as of November 2013" because I was told by Tenebrae not to use the world "currently" because that's meaningless over time. As you can probably tell I'm still a rookie at this. Thank you again for your response.SpiritedMichelle (talk) 18:53, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Algarve Cup
Hey, the tiebreaker is H2H, so they defeated both CHN and ISL, which means there last game is a given. I thought the same as you first but on dfb.de and more sites they said they reached the final, so it is what it is. I will see if i can find a reference for that on the official website (which is pretty horrbile btw)... Kante4 (talk) 21:57, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah. Thanks for doing the research.  Dkreisst (talk) 22:00, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Just to make it "official" here. Kante4 (talk) 22:14, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Maria Tallchief
Hi Dkreisst. I see you deleted "See also: Women in dance" from the article. I thought it was important to direct readers to this article as it clearly explains Tallchief's key place in the history of women in dance as you will see if you browse through it. Indeed, Tallchief appears to be one of the very few Americans who have contributed so significantly to the overall picture. As for using it as a category, we already have Category:Female dancers which together with the related subcategories covers literally thousands of articles including some 900 just for Category:American female dancers. As I always try to avoid conflicts in editing, I would prefer to have your consent before reinserting anything (unless you would simply like to make the change yourself). May I also take this opportunity of thanking you for the tremendous amount of work you have undertaken on ballet-releated articles yourself. I see I had missed Emily Johnson when working on the List of female dancers but have now included her. Maybe some of your other contributions (Emery LeCrone, Katarzyna Skarpetowska, Tatiana Baganova and Helen Pickett) could also be added, especially if their biographies could be expanded a bit. I would welcome any other suggestions you may have on improvements. For your information, we are currently working on the biographies of the principal dancers of the major companies listed at here. Keep up the good work!--Ipigott (talk) 08:58, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Ipigott, Thanks for your note.  I'm afraid I was a bit hasty in undoing your edit, and will revert my edit.  I think I felt that the article Women in Dance was not so much tangential to the topic of the article Maria Tallchief as encompassing, and was working on that feeling.  But perhaps, as you mention, Tallchief is important enough to share a readership with people interested in a more general topic.  Thank you for your work on principal dancers.  At this point I am most interested in researching and writing about ballet choreographers who are women and would be happy to take up any small projects you have.  Thanks again for your thoughtful note. Dkreisst (talk) 09:56, 28 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your quick response. It is of course equally important to work on the choreographers. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.--Ipigott (talk) 10:03, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Because you thanked me
