Talk:Ice dance

message: Hello, I have realised that this Wikipedia article may be fundamentally flawed because it keeps referring to "ice dance" as "ice dancing", the first example being in the page title itself, not to mention the filename! Just to be sure, I've checked with the ISU website and they do indeed refer to the discipline as Ice Dance, one of the four disciplines encompassed by the term "figure skating", i.e. singles (men), singles (women), pairs, ice dance.
Just to clarify my position/opinion, "Ice dancing" is an informal description of the activity of dancing on ice (granted) but in a more formal sense, the discipline itself is officially termed Ice Dance. I would like to suggest that we reflect this fact by changing the title of the article accordingly and correcting the wording, where necessary, in the page text. Not every mention of the term "ice dancing" would need to be changed, it would depend entirely on the context in which it appeared within the article.
The article is held in a file called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_dancing and I believe that could not easily be changed! I'm also aware that there would be repercussions for pages linking to the article if we were to change its title, but this can easily be bypassed using a redirect if necessary.

replies: text: A widely cited book called The Key to Rhythmic Ice Dancing was published 60 years ago, which shows that the term "ice dancing" is well established. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 02:27, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article may be incorrectly titled 

message: So I've gotten really far in the improvement of this article.  All that needs to be done is to improve the intro, and then some general improvements.  I've removed the lack of references tag, because it's no longer true.  I think that we should submit it to GAN and then to FAC.  
I have a couple of questions I'd like to throw out there to the general community:
* How are the images?  Are they appropriate, and are there others we can add?
* Is this article comprehensive enough?  Is there content that needs to added that's currently missing?  Do we need additional sections?
* This is the most important question I have: how specific should we be?  For example, Pair skating is very specific in its "Accidents" section, citing specific examples.  The problem is see with that is that it can become a trivia list of accidents, and they tend to be contemporary to the writing of the section.  If we were to get as specific about costume malfunctions and falls in this article, I can see the same thing happening.  On the other hand, it may be a good thing to include examples (with reliable sources like this about the most recent Olympics ) because it gives readers specific examples of what's being described.  What does everyone think?  
Perhaps once this article goes through some vetting and reviews, we'll get some of the answers from outsiders and non-fans.  But I thought I'd throw it out here, much like a triple throw done without a mishap. ;) Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 23:35, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Update and next questions 

message: on original dance page it says The original dance (OD) was added to ice dance competitions in 1967, when it became a replacement for one of the two compulsory dances. 
Compulsory dance segment was (I guess) one of those compulsory dances, until it was removed in 2010. Which is the second that was replaced in 1967? Haven't found it in the article. 213.149.51.93 (talk) 19:29, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps the wording isn't clear enough.  The inference from the sources is that up to 1967, there were two CDs in competition; afterwards, there was only one, and the OD was added.  I'll go and tighten up the prose now.  Thanks for the question; it always helps to get feedback to help clarify the content of an article.
