message: I removed :File:Assyriankhigga.jpg, an image that is said to be an example of the Assyrian folk dance khigga, because (1) it doesn't seem like a very good visual representation of the dance, and (2) there are literally thousands of other higher quality images that could also rightfully appear here -- and there's not room for all of them. My edit was reverted because the image "shows that dancers can wear costumes or not" and because "the article needs a Middle Eastern example", and perhaps also because of an emotional attachment to the image by the reverter, who uploaded it. I don't mean to belittle the worth of this image but it seems unsuitable for the article for the reasons I gave above. That said, I am not inclined to edit war over this and will defer to the opinions of other editors. Lambtron (talk) 16:33, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

message: I think User:TonyTheTiger has a good idea in adding a video or two, but I agree that a 2-second clip of one person half-heartedly shimmying, while several others don't dance, is not of much encyclopedic value. Some alternative, perhaps more informative files:

replies: text: It seems that many videos are worthy of inclusion in the article. Instead of sprinkling them throughout the article — where they will necessarily interrupt the flow of information to readers — would it make sense to create a video gallery? Perhaps below the existing image gallery? Lambtron (talk) 21:10, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

message: Re-posting a proposition by Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi that Rhythm and dance be merged into Dance, to hopefully generate some interest and responses. 
The Rhythm and dance article discusses the relationship between Rhythm and Dance, supplies some information on the background and styles of dancing and quotes some poetry as well. I see no reason why that warrants a separate article. It looks like a simple case of WP:OVERLAP to me. Also, the resulting article would not warrant WP:SPLIT based on length since it will only be 45,867 Kilo Bytes even if no content is removed.
*Dance Page size:                        28,336 Bytes

The article's author, Redheylin, appears to strongly disagree with me. See our discussion here. WannaBeEditor (talk) 18:12, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

message: Bhangra dance from Punjab, india got mainstream recognition after bhangra videos made by Gurdeep Pandher went viral in the Yukon Territory, Canada. Punjabi-Sikh immigrants have been dancing bhagnra ever since they moved to Canada over a hundred years ago. There have been many popular bhangra organizations and clubs in Canada since decades, however still bhangra was mostly limited to Canada's Punjabi-Sikh community. Yukon Territory's Gurdeep Pandher made numerous efforts and his work got Canadian national and international attention. Gurdeep Pandher's bhangra in Yukon was first reported nationally by CBC and then live broadcasted by Canada's CTV National News CTV National News. Gurdeep Pandher's Yukon made bhangra videos went viral with millions of views. His work was covered by Buzzfeed, The Huffington Post, Yahoo Canada and international media. All this helped making bhangra a Canadian mainstream dance.

Please change:
 allows interludes of rhythmic dance that developed into entirely "plotless" ballets in the 20th century.
to:
 allows interludes of rhythmic dance that developed into entirely "plotless" ballets in the 20th century
In other words, please delete the full stop / period mark (".") after the word "century".
This change is necessary to keep the sentence grammatically correct, because there are more words after the word "century".
The presence of this full stop / period mark is an edit error, originated from this edit:

message: An image of Camille Claudel's The Waltz was removed in a good faith revert, although there are a few good reasons to include it on the page (I had included it in the European section, due to Claudel's legacy and her growing reputation as an internationally known and important French sculptor). The Waltz is arguably the best sculptural representative of dance. Edgar Degas' Little Dancer of Fourteen Years is beautifully crafted, yet she does not convey action, but gives a sense of waiting for the performance to occur. Claudel's The Waltz, on the other hand, and its ability to convey feeling and flow of motion, well captures the emotions and feelings of both dance and of the individuals dancing. The revert language indicates that adding another image, especially one of a sculpture, isn't right for this page. I'd point out that the image seemed well-placed, is relevant to the section, and offers readers a chance to link to further information about such a statue and about it's creator (if some haven't heard of Camille Claudel please read of her amazing, talented, and artistically soaring, but ultimately - as a women in a man's profession in the late 19th century and early 20th century France - sad and wronged life). This image of The Waltz can only enhance, not detract from, this article. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 01:01, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: As the reverter, I am perceiving in your various comments a sort of infatuation with that particular work of art. The article is already stuffed with images, which adequately communicate various modes of dance. The sculpture, which, in the photo, looks more like The Hug, is such crufty overkill that I implore you to consider the wisdom of its placement in the article. It does not belong there. Has it not yet been placed in the Claudel article? Why not find out what sort of metal it was cast in, and add it to the article on that particular metal? Silver? Pewter?--Quisqualis (talk) 06:18, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello . The Waltz is a fine work by a major artist, so yes, I appreciate it, as will many readers. But my point in accenting its unique character and discussing its appearance is that no other major statue seems to capture the movement of dance, and so it would become a good addition to this page (which does have room in the section it was placed in). Maybe others will comment. Another, and perhaps better, option is to include a visual arts "gallery" section in the article, which would present sculptures and paintings. Degas and others come to mind, see :Category:Dance in art. Until the fairly recent inventions of photography and film were able to present the visual definition of dance in its various forms, the only way to communicate these appearance was through painting and sculpture. A gallery which can give a historical overview of this communication might be worth considering. Another option is to move Renoir's Dance at Bougival, which is now the only and out-of-place visual artwork represented in the photographic gallery, to the spot where The Waltz had been placed. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:08, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Your mention of the :Category:Dance in art should provide you ample opportunity for the dissemination of the photo you are so enamored of. The Renoir does seem misplaced, so feel free to move it. The gallery you are proposing does not belong in the article, though. Consider the concept of mission creep before you start letting those visions dance in your head.--Quisqualis (talk) 17:33, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, okay (?). Yes, it is a beautiful sculpture, and The Waltz is probably the best existing sculpture on the subject of dance (please find a better one). Which is why I brought it to this page, thinking it would represent the topic of dance well. You reverted, and so I tried to communicate my initial reasoning of why I felt that the sculpture would be a good artistic representation of dance for this article. The end result of this? We've found an image of an artwork which we agree on. You'd accept moving Dance at Bougival out of the gallery and into the text, and I heartily agree that it's a fine piece of art to represent dance. So, a good result, and it was fun collaborating with you. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:23, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
