Coordinators' working group
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators. All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. &mdash; Delievered by §hepBot  ( Disable )  on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 05:14, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Help with Article on Dancer / Researcher Elizabeth Waterhouse
I am working since a while on this article about Draft :Elizabeth Waterhouse, and I am having trouble with this. Then I found the WikiProject Dance, and I wanted to reach out to you and ask if you could help. Thank you. See Draft talk:Elizabeth Waterhouse for details and current status.

 * - I found & added book she authored "2022 — Processing Choreography: Thinking with William Forsythe's Duo" with cit. Do not know if that's enough for better notability. Also I used the Cite template as I'm not very good at references. JoeNMLC (talk) 19:29, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Capitalisation of dance names
It seems clear from MOS:DANCECAPS that dance names are to be lowercased, but I want to double check before moving pages. There are a lot of dances at uppercase titles and that are uppercased in article text. (e.g. all of the ones in Template:Dance in India, some of Category:Dances of Japan, and the non-English words in List of Indonesian dances.) If you care please discuss this here. —  AjaxSmack 16:25, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

I added some templates to the talk page, the project rating still needs assessment by this project. - FlightTime  ( open channel ) 19:34, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately,, with two sentences, twenty-five words, and one source, I don't see how the article can be re-assessed higher than the current start/low grades at the present time. SnowRise let's rap 22:30, 17 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Well, I wasn't hopping for higher, I wanted correct, I guess I had and didn't know. Sorry for the bother. Thanx, -  FlightTime  ( open channel ) 23:12, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * No bother! I understand now; in truth, it might be worth evaluating the article at 'stub' rather than 'start' level, if anything, but other than that, I think it is appropriately calibrated where you have it.

Notable choreographer?
Hard to tell if Ihsan Rustem is notable, based on current used sources. Thoughts? Concerns? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:08, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Review of the article: Little Angels Children's Folk Ballet of Korea
Hello project staff. I did updated the article Little Angels Children's Folk Ballet of Korea. In the discussion there is an rating of the article as a Stub. This is no longer valid. Do someone from the project review articles and updating the ratings? Can someone give me a hint what else to improve? I still do plan rewrite the introduction, so it reflect all the content. Thanx in advance. --Dee (talk) 23:16, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

Another RfC on capitalization of all our articles
I thought this was a done deal back in this 2022 RFC but obviously not. A handful of editors did another rfc with no sports projects input at all. And it's being challenged because we just noticed it. This could affect almost every single tennis and Olympic article we have, and goodness know how many other sports. Some may have already been moved it you weren't watching the article. And not just the article titles will be affected but all the player bios that link to the articles. Sure the links would be piped to the right place if thousands of articles moved, but if the wording in a bio still said 2023 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles or Swimming at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Men's 200 metre backstroke that would likely need to be changed by hand. There is also talk of removing the ndash completely.

Perhaps this is what sports projects want and perhaps not. Either way I certainly don't want projects ill-informed as the last RfC was handled. Express your thoughts at the following rfc. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:49, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Change of Status
There has been some activity in this WikiProject. Should the status be changed to at least semi-active? 23impartial (talk) 18:00, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Avdotia Istomina
Her article is being proposed for addition to Vital articles - see Wikipedia_talk:Vital_articles/Level/5/Subpage_1 - and the description "the most celebrated Russian ballerina of the 19th century" (unsourced since the article's creation in 2005) has been challenged. Someone here might be interested? Pam D  09:00, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
