message: I moved the article from "Lindy Hop history", as I have with many others - lindy hop is not a proper name, and like jazz, samba, blues etc. should AFAIK not be unnecessarily capitalised. However, I think most articles on the history of things are named on the form "History of X". For now I created a redirect from history of lindy hop, but maybe the article should actually be moved there. // Habj 09:22, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was going to make a similar comment.  Every history article on wikipedia I've seen is "History of ...".  I.e. I support a move.--Koeppen 11:49, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I've gone through and tidied up some written expression, as well as sorting out some spurious references. I've used Stearns and Stearns for most of this, though Malone has some interesting information to add.
I've cut out the bit about cats corner, though I'll add it back in as soon as I can. PlainJane 05:02, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Editing  this article

message: The quest for old lindy images goes on.  If anyone wants to see some really cool old (1938-1939) photos of lindy/jitterbug, the LA Public Library has some stellar ones.  Just search their photo collection for keword "jitterbug" — lindy won't get you any hits.  Unfortunately they do not grant Wikipedia permission to use their images (I already asked, they were nice about saying "No."), but it's a wonderful view into the history of lindy.--Will.i.am 02:00, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If they were for Life magazine, there are probably copyrights on those photographs. It will be harder to get permission to put them on Wikipedia. --Cswrye 14:38, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Unfortunately there's a dearth of photos from Lindy's earliest days (pre-1938) in all the public domain places I've looked and most are still restricted via copyright.  What about some screenshots of old movies that featured African American dancers?  I thought that some of those might qualify as fair-use, we'd just have to find them.--Will.i.am 04:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Old photographs 

message: Does someone have a link for the NCLS workshop interview in 2002?  I tried to find it today but only came up with the Jazz transcript interview from 1997.--Will.i.am 20:23, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reference 

message: There is possibly a newsreel that supports George Snowden's story about him naming the dance during a dance marathon.  If anyone happens to be nearby the University of South Carolina (in Columbia, SC), you may want to check on the FOX Movietone News video entitled " MVTN C 4980: Couple Dance on Way to Get Marriage License".  I believe the film is still not transferred to video, so you'll probably need to call first and request that that be done before it can be viewed.  (See the article's notes section for details about this.)  –panda (talk) 17:30, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible newsreel of Shorty George naming the dance 

message: I see that lindy swing is quite the in-thing in modern Germany of 2007-2008. I think a section should be created to address the international lindy scene. Maybe someone with some knowledge of this subject should examine the current situation in Germany and present details. How does the popularity and nature of swing dancing in Germany compare with the neo-swing revival in America of 1998-2000?
:Wikipedia requires content to come from verifiable sources, so please only add content based on things like newspaper reports, not just personal observations.  That being said, what your talking about, under the current article organization, would be more appropriate for the article Lindy Hop today. -Verdatum (talk) 22:42, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Popularity in Germany Today

message: The organization of content in this article seems to be very different from that of the history section of the Lindy Hop article.  Each article contains unique information regarding the history.  This needs to be merged together and placed in this article, so the history section of the main article can be made to conform to WP:SUMMARY.  I'll see what I can do about this. -Verdatum (talk) 22:45, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Based on the talkpage at Lindy hop, and the comment at the begining of this talkpage, it appears this page was created in order to WP:SPINOUT the history section, as it was becoming overlong according to WP:SIZE.  Back when the lindy hop article also contained content now in Lindy Hop today, it was quite a bit longer.  Remerging this content into the main article is not entirely out of the question.  However, I am against it.  The history of Lindy Hop appears to be rich and well documented such that it can stand as a fine article on it's own.  Also, if the articles grow in the future, and it seems there is plenty of content that could be added, the size could once again reach thresholds forcing it just to be split off yet again.  Most importantly, by moving off the history, the main article can be left to focus more detail on the dance itself, which I feel the article desperately needs.  the WP:SUMMARY of the history in the main article allows those who come to the article hoping to learn other aspects of the topic can be given a concise summary of the history so they may choose to follow the link for greater detail, or continue on to the other sections of the article without having to scroll through a massive chunk. -Verdatum (talk) 20:58, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
