Talk:Furry Dance

message: Didn't flora dances used to take place in many Cornish towns (or do they still)?  I know in the C19th they used to have them on fair days etc. in a few places. Would this be relevant in the article?  Also "FLORA DANCE" doesn't seem to redirect here. --Cornishman5040 (talk) 22:31, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

message: But I don't know how to.
I'm about to sell a postcard on ebay. I have made a good photographic copy of it.
It depicts the Flora day Furry dance on 10th May 1905.
contact me on astro_nomenoff@yahoo.com and I will email a copy for someone to place on this article is they wish.
I am not a wikimedian and don't know how to do such a thing!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Astro nomenoff (talk • contribs) 09:54, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Why does Floral Dance redirect here if it's incorrect? Surely the song The Floral Dance is more widely known than this local ritual.Gymnophoria (talk) 01:13, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: A reasonable question.  I don't see any problem with shifting the redirect as long as both pages keep prominent links to each other. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 07:49, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Furry Dance is the what the Cornish call the Floral Dance and it is held in Cornwall so I think the redirect is the best. Redirection is for just this purpose.Jembana (talk) 22:14, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

text: It would be closer to say that Floral Dance is what the English call The Flora, or Furry Dance.  But I think everyone agrees that redirects should be used; the question is precisely what should redirect to what. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 11:30, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Before Helston was a port, in Roman Times according to an 1825 document, the name 'Halanguim' was assimulated to the original name of Helston, before 'Henlys' or 'Henlis' (as it was known, also before the inland harbour was built).  That would have meant 'stream of the hollow'.  However, in the early days of the 'Hal-an-Tow' it may have started near the Cober surrounded by sea sand (after 1014 when the flint sand was washed from the drowned Channel terraces across Mounts Bay in the 28th September tsunami.  That is the only other remotely possible origin of the name : stream of the sand = 'tewas'.  Werdna Yrneh Yarg (talk) Andrew H. Gray 11:20, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
