Talk:Glossary of partner dance terms

message: I am unfamiliar with the term "international" in the context of ballroom dancing but I have come across it in other contexts, used by Americans to mean "foreign". This is a very US-centric usage. If, as I suspect, the word is being used this way here, it needs to be spelled out that this is a term used only in America.

replies: text: Worse, I'm also running into it capitalized for no apparent reason (along with virtually every other faintly dance-related term – even "left" and "right" sometimes) in dance articles that read like they were written for a dance class (ahem, sorry, "Dance Class").  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  09:36, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

message: Some I've run across in article text and nav templates (e.g. ). It would be much better to add them here than create more miserable stub articles.
* Change step, closed change[s], outside change, hesitation change
* Hesitation (dance), cross hesitation
* Corte (dance), reverse corte, hover corte (Possibly a misspelling of corté? Possibly a proper name like Viennese and Telemark?)
* Weave (dance), basic weave
* Pivot (dance), reverse pivot, slip pivot
* Spin (dance) [Can this really be missing?! The only dance-related article I find is Spin (b-boy move)]; outside spin
* Fallaway / fall-away; fallaway reverse (or reverse fallaway?), fallaway whisk
* Link (dance), progressive link
* Contra check; suggests as "Check (dance)" article or a "check" entry here, too, but maybe I'm mistaking this sense of "contra" as a Latin adjective when it's a noun or something.

message: In regards to The Almaden Valley being refered to as "Almaden" or "The Den":
    You'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't refer to the area as "Almaden". I don't think anyone is contesting that. The contested bit is "The Den". I have referenced Urban Dictionary. I know under almost any other circumstances UD wouldn't qualify as a source, but in this case, where it's being determined whether or not a slang term is used, I think it's quite appropriate. Urban Dictionary is a dictionary of slang after all.

Talk:Alpha Beta

message: In 1984, all 34 Alpha Beta stores in Arizona were sold to ABCO Foods, and the stores continued operating under the Alpha Beta name.American Stores, The New York Times, September 5, 1984. . In Tucson, Alpha Beta-branded stores changed to ABCO-branded stores around 1989.
I grew up in the Mesa/Tempe/Chandler area, and I clearly remember all the Alpha Betas in my area being renamed "ABCO".  It kind of broke my twelve-year-old heart, because Alpha-Beta was my favorite grocery store.  I loved the old name and the logo, with it's excitingly squarish letters.  "ABCO" was an uglier name and much less fun to look at.  Unfortunately, it seems to be my word against the New York Times's.  But Mesa was one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. during the 80s, so there must be plenty of people who also remember this!  Please speak up right away!  This is a matter of vital importance!  ;)

The link above is dead, but there may be a way of recovering the source. It's by the Asbury Park Press, and the =/20070511/ seems to imply that this was published on May 11, 2007. For those with access to e.g. Newspapers.com, it would be worth accessing the site to see what the title of the article is. Then we could go about either finding that same article on the app.com site or, if it's not there, simply linking to Newspapers.com (the latter being less preferable due to its subscription-based nature).

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/United Confederation of Interstellar Planets

message: Funny all this... lets look at other articles included on wikipedia in a similar vane.  First, Alt.starfleet.rpg, an RPG community that originated from Usenet according to the article.  Second we have Christian_Gamers_Alliance which is a community for Christians interested in role playing games.  Third we have Diversity_Fleet which is a subsidiary group of The Simming League and consists of (near as one can tell) a single SIM.  Finally there is the Star_Trek_Simulation_Forum which also originated on AOL, much like UCIP did.  Given that UCIP has well over 15 SIMs and somewhere in the neighbourhood of 150 members (and I am being conservative) from across the globe it seems a little asinine that these articles exist and are not under threat of deletion while the UCIP one is.  Further to this, Wikipedia itself references UCIP in one of its articles, Simming.  To have noted UCIP in an article is clear evidence UCIP is indeed a notable organization or else it would not have been included in the article.
:Not necessarily at all. Just because those other articles exist doesn't mean that they're somehow "safe" from being deleted. It might mean that they're notable (or verifiably so), but it also might just mean that nobody's yet nominated them for deletion. Further, just because another article references UCIP doesn't mean anything. I could create a simming group right now, add them to the article on simming and write an article on them - it wouldn't serve as an insurance policy or anything of the sort.
