message: This page really needs a "Cultural References" section. I mean, it's been parodied so many times, it's almost not even funny. Riverdanceman (talk) 03:03, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Ehm, no offence but shouldn't this article contain information about the traditional Irish dance, since it is a "tiny bit" older than 1994 and since the band might be named after this dance?
...
Or more precisely, why is the band/group/whatever on that site and why isn't there more info on the dance
it is a "tiny bit" older than 1994 - Is it? My understanding is that the original Riverdance act was created for the Eurovision interval act, with the rest coming later to make it a full length show.
It was created in late 1993 and early 1994, with initial recordings of the backing tracks in Spring 1994. the name "Riverdance" was not extant prior to then.194.46.181.201 (talk) 12:21, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

message: There appear to be several DVD versions - each flawed in their own way, usually related to editing. It might be useful to mention what DVDs are available, which version of the show they contain, and who the leads are.
Secondly, is there a (good) DVD with the Butler/Flatley show? All I can find is the Best Of, which has terrible editing and sync problems. 86.27.79.245 (talk) 23:11, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I removed the hyperlinks to the touring companies. The page specifies that Riverdance has three companies on tour, each named after a river. In the context of this page, the river names are in fact names of the Riverdance troupes. The hyperlinks to the articles about the actual rivers are not appropriate on this page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Toshea1 (talk • contribs) 23:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I've placed the 'cleanup-reorganize' tag on the article as all of the information is under one heading that is 'History'. I will try and clean it up in to different sections but there may not be enough information to split it in to too many. I suggest we try and find some more information and references to make this article meet Wikipedia's quality standards. Kai Tatsu (talk) 08:51, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Riverdance has its roots in a three-part suite of baroque-influenced traditional music called "Timedance" composed, recorded and performed for the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest.
Riverdance is from the eurovision 1994 not 1981 Eurovision Song Contest unless "Timedance" is?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tcla75 (talk • contribs) 01:55, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

message: For some reason Anúna have been removed from this article except to say when the group left the show. This looks like a deliberate omission, but assuming it is an error I have corrected it in relation to the single and the Eurovision Song Contest. While I don't have a source for correcting Prince Philip as being the royal in attendance at the Royal Variety, I can say that we shook his hand and it was Prince Charles...
