Talk:Ukrainian dance

message: I have a generalized question here, so anyone please feel free to add something or respond.  I was wondering if we really should be putting the names of individual ensembles in the article, as I can see a day coming soon when we will have 10 or 20 people editing the page and throwing around their respective groups' names and creating a bit of clutter.  My suggestion would be to keep it down to Virsky, and perhaps Shumka for North America as they are a professional company.  Beyond this we could perhaps list the groups in a seperate link location at the bottom, divided into countries.Otherwise the situation could evolve to where everyone wants their troupe mentioned and it will reduce the professionalism of the article.  What does everyone think of this idea?  (Also, who put that picture up?  Do they hold the copyright to the image?  Wikipedia's rules are very strict that only copyright holders can use their own images.  So we need explicit permission before putting photos up).  Cheers.  --RileyLewis 05:41, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The photo was taken by me. I couldn't find anything that would be legal to take, so I just used my own. If we can find something better it would be great. The Virsky page has some since they were taken before copyright mattered in USSR. Mrrria 09:17, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  The photo needs to change soon. Not a good representation of Ukrainian Dance as a whole. More like a local school performance. --tufkaa 03:36, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Yes, they fall within various Oblasts.  However, usually when people talk about these 'regions' I think they are referring to the traditional ethnic regions and not the modern-day provinces.  But good point, we have to try and remain as accurate as possible. --RileyLewis 05:37, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The "Regions"/"Districts" section is inaccurate and will have to be updated.--tufkaa 03:35, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've altered the Regional styles section to more accurately reflect what can be found Ukrainian dance. Ukrainian folk dance reflects an idealized depiction of various ethnic groups and cultures in Ukraine in its regional dances. We should keep this separate from actually defining the regions, which is done in separate articles we can link to.--tufkaa 17:53, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pre-Modern History Section Changes 

message: I edited the history section to add the initial wave of immigration to North America in the 1890s.  Someone should also take the time to do some research on Avramenko and get a paragraph in on his effort to import the original folk dances to the Americas.  I also cleaned up the section a little bit, and removed some things that weren't supported or couldn't be verified (ex. VIrsky's performance at the '67 Expo being the event that caused other dance troupes to modernize their style). --RileyLewis 05:16, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice job to whomever added the Avramenko section.  It's good to include that. --RileyLewis 15:39, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Modern History Section Changes 

message: I will add more information with regards to the developments in the US. Additional  post-Avramenko development in Canada should written by someone.--tufkaa 20:25, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Development in North America Section Changes 

message: I cleaned up the listed regions as well as adding the Lemko region.  I removed the ones only mentioned at the bottom to reduce clutter until more information can be brought in.  As well, I removed the "most well-known dance" additions as this could be construed as an opinion and may vary in different locations.  I also added a few different commonly-used ways of spelling the regions in North America. --RileyLewis 05:35, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Regional Section Changes 

message: I can definitely agree that we shouldn't include any other group's names other than Virsky or Shumka. We should also monitor it to make sure other group names aren't added. Perhaps we can provide a link to a page like this, such as this one from the Alberta Ukrainian Dance Association. Mrrria 07:33, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mentioning Other Groups' Names 

message: I agree that a section should be added about his contribution to Ukrainian dance. Perhaps a seperate article should be created about him, and then the main points regarding his influence can be added by the person who creates the article.Mrrria 07:35, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Avramenko created. --Mrrria 06:19, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

message: By the way, great work everyone.  Honourable mention to Tufkaa.  "Ukrainian dance" has grown faster than any other new article I've seen in the last year and a half.  —Michael Z. 2006-03-03 03:52 Z
:Second that! Anazing work! And guys, please do check the Ukraine portal and its new article announcement board. --Irpen 04:26, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

message: There already is a template at the bottom of the page for topics related to Ukraine. This is an art form that is practiced by both Ukrainians and non-Ukrainians, so perhaps we leave out the Ukrainians template and just keep the one at the bottom.--tufkaa 15:33, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
