Talk:Bacup

message: The Bacup article is now substantially improved and expanded, though would still benefit from a photograph. Probably no longer a stub? Bob 19:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removing the internal link to Blackface by Friejose because it is (unintentionally) highly misleading. The wikipedia entry on Blackface is with regard to "a style of theatrical makeup that originated in the United States, used to affect the countenance of an iconic, racist American archetype...". This is by no means the likely root or intent of the blackened faces used by the Coco-nut Dancers. Although the origin appears to be unknown, one of the most frequently alluded to associations is with Cornish coal-miners; the blackened face derived from the grime covered faces of the miners. Whether this is true or not the connection is more likely to relate to the many European folk custom traditions where black face stems from representations of winter, the dark season. An origin derived from racial imagery is highly unlikely in this context. Bob 15:00, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was just trying to go through and wikify terms in the cocoanuts dancers portion of that article, and the blackface link seemed appropriate at the time.  I understand your explanation, and I won't get into a revert war over it!  It may make sense, however, to either add a section to the current blackface article to reflect the English usage of the word in the English folk dance context, or to create a new article along those lines.  I leave it to your discretion.  Friejose 19:34, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Bacuprians was mentioned by a Lancastrian, but he notes no references in Google to the term, so perhaps it isn't widely used enough.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.45.158.52 (talk) 19:52, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

message: "in the 10th century the Anglo-Saxons battled against Gaels and Norsemen at Broadclough in northern Bacup"
As all 3 refs give no further detail it is hard to be sure, but I believe that this is related to claims that Battle of Brunanburh occurred in the Burnley region. This claim is certainly not proven, and not currently believed to be likely. --Trappedinburnley (talk) 18:17, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
