Dear Myrtha (if we may call you that for short),

We hope you've noticed the new article on yr former professor Olga Maynard, which may surprise you (tho' at present we are having geek problems with posting the splendid picture of her in 1943--can you help?). This is, among other things, an effort to inspire a group of serious entries on *writing about dance*, sorely lacking in Wiki. Suggest that Wiki Dance group contact extant people in the field, such as Richard Philp, requesting information or even articles. (Notice how we're fast losing people from the dance boom.) You could set a standard there. Related to this article, we've opened a stub on Bill Como, and made external links to the *Dance Magazine* tiny stub.Alethe 11:56, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for contacting me but I am unsure exactly what you are asking. Queenofthewilis 10:56, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Swan Lake
Thanks for your great additions to the Swan Lake article! ...and welcome to Wikipedia. =) Guermantes 01:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Alessandra Ferri
I created the Ferri article because there wasn't one and I thought it was needed, but it was in no way meant to be a thorough article. I tend to start basic articles and fix other peoples', because I find that people are afraid of starting new ones (too much work) but are more willing to edit/expand existing ones. Thanks for working on it, and the articles you've been adding too. You're doing a lot of great work and WikiProject Dance needs more people like you!— E  ditor at L arge  ( speak )  15:39, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Ballet

We hope to recruit enough members to make this a feasible WikiProject, and would appreciate your support! You can join at the WikiProject page or leave any suggestions on the talk page. Thanks! — E  ditor at L arge  ( speak )  23:08, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Kevin McKenzie
Hi. Thanks for your message. It's quite easy to move an article. Just click on the 'move' box at the top of the page and follow the instructions. It's generally considered better to move pages rather than to create a duplicate article then delete the old one, as the history is then preserved. Check out WP:MOVE for more details. To delete an article, meanwhile, you can add a speedy deletion template - followed by a specific request. For example, in the case of a biography, it would be, or  for a redirect. Hope this helps. Cheers Paul20070 (talk) 14:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Glad it worked ok. Cheers Paul20070 (talk) 11:37, 5 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I have to ask why you moved the article - I moved it from its original title to Kevin McKenzie (ballet dancer) as that was much more appropriate. The title that it has now is too long and would not show up in any sensible search for Mr McKenzie were it not for the redirect that your move created. Wikipedia articles should have titles that are concise and to the point. From Naming conventions (people), emphasis added:


 * "Some standardisation of the bracketed disambiguator is possible, for example '(musician)' and '(politician)' are very recognisable. Try to avoid abbreviations or anything capitalised or containing hyphens, dashes or numbers (apart from where more specific guidelines specify particular exceptions to that), and also try to limit to a single, recognisable and highly applicable word regarding the person at hand."

 * Thank you for your follow-up message on my talk page. I have moved the article back to Kevin McKenzie (ballet dancer). – ukexpat (talk) 13:50, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Ondine
Please Help! - I am looking for the support of ballet and dance enthusiasts on Wikipedia, to help me prevent the proposed merging of Ondine (Ashton), into an article about the ballet's music. The music for this ballet would not have been written had it not been for the choreographer Frederick Ashton, who commissioned it specially for this ballet. This ballet was one of Ashton's most famous works and it would be a terrible shame for this article to be merged into an article that focusses primarily on the music and the composer rather than the ballet and the choreography.

See here: - Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Classical_music

Please vote to oppose this change, as this music would not have been written had it not been for Ashton's ballet!!!

Thank You

File permission problem with File:Corella_as_Aminta.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Corella_as_Aminta.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to , stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Queenofthewilis:

I saw the rendering of the 1892 second act Nutcracker you posted on the Nutcracker Ballet page. It's the second one, the small one that's more detailed. I'm trying to find a high resolution copy of that image and I'm wondering where you got it from. We'd like to use the image as part of a projection in our Nutcracker but we need a higher resolution than the one floating around the internet.

Any help you could give me on this would be greatly appreciated.
