No, I think you know far more than I do, I've very much enjoyed your extremely thorough updates. Just from Burke's Peerage. Apologies, I thought Burke's had already been referenced. I've added a footnote now. It comes from the entry on the Lawrence family - I'm not sure I'm allowed to post the exact wording, as it's copyrighted - but it provides an overview of the family's lineage. I hope that's enough. (Is this the right place for me to be posting this? I'm fairly new to Talk Pages - should I have replied on my own page?) Phettyplace (talk) 4:10am, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Fantastic, thanks. I thought that made sense - I wasn't too confident you'd be watching my talk page! Phettyplace (talk) 11:36am, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Please keep an eye on edits of dance articles by a new well-meaning but reluctant to follow wikipedia policy WP:CITE Javacaliente (talk · contribs). As you may guess, one-on-one does not work. - Altenmann >t 04:24, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Looking at his edits in Endomorphine article, I am starting to doubt whether he is just trolling. - Altenmann >t 04:27, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

P.P.S. your input into Lead and follow & Frame (dance) pages would be extremely useful. They are important subjects, but completely unreferenced, and I have no time to grab some dance books. - Altenmann >t 04:30, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your time. I am well aware of problems related to ballroom dance technique articles stemming from lack of written instruction material, unlike, say, ballet. Wikipedia has its WP:CITE for a reason. Without it there is no way you can prevent plausibly-looking nonsense entering articles. Five years ago it was close to impossible. However I see that in recent times more and more respected ballroom dance teachers put many advice onn their websites. All we need to do is to establish the "basis of credibility": to write articles about prominent dance coaches, so that material taken from them will satisfy wikipedia criteria of "reliable sources". We don't really need videos and stuff: wikipedia is not "how-to" instructional book to teach details of dancing. General "word-based" descriptions suffice here. Regarding the case I at hand, I am pretty lax. I am not runniong around deleting all unreferenced texts from ballroom pages. I am asking to keep an eye on this person so that he does not writer dubious stuff, since I don't know his credentials and, like I said, lacking references, it is impossible for a single person to oppose another one. - Altenmann >t 17:04, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In Eugene Znosko-Borovsky, why did you take the capitalization out of book titles (except for the first word? As far as I know, the major words in the title should be capitalized. Bubba73 ^{(You talkin' to me?)}, 14:14, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
