message: I did the nerge and redirect of Jooba, I was only d to find a single reference (which may support the narwal or it may be based on wikipedia's marriage page).  If anyones good enough to know if the usage of it is not correct please place a note here. does the PINK FLUFFY UNICORNS DANCING ON RAINBOWS know it is correct please remove the section on Jooba (funny word).  If you remove it and don't know how to clean up the redirects leave a note on my talk page. THE PAINFUL WATER BOTTLE HURTS MY SOUL  Jeepday (talk) 02:36, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I have removed the following text:
In Europe, clogging groups are often part of square dance clubs, but some are also organized as individual clogging clubs. Justin David McAllister of the Village of Bexley, Ohio is known for his clogging which he started as a child. With his modern influence, clogging is making a comeback among the young.
because I can find no reference to "Justin David McAllister". Ogg 14:25, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Should this article mention the appearance of Brandon Norris on So You Think You Can Dance?  I could be wrong, but it's my impression that Norris greatly increased the awareness of clogging in America. Capedia (talk) 22:02, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brandon Norris? 

message: The article makes it clear that clogging and clog dancing are two different styles of dance, even though clogging has some roots in clog dancing.  However there are other areas in the article, including the re-direct of "clog dancing" to this article, which treat the two styles as the same.  Should clog dancing have its own article?  ++Arx Fortis (talk) 15:52, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I raised a few concerns on this a couple of years ago and coming back am disappointed in the page.  Half an hour ago I started by saying "I'm not, at this stage, convinced that a split is needed", but I now think I agree with Clem.  Probably the easiest thing is to hijack the redirect page on Clog dancing to become the main article on all forms of dancing with clogs.  There needs to be reference to the use of clogs in Morris, but only a reference.  The North American section (which is both confused and confusing) can be left to languish where it is, but with a hat note redirecting the reader to the Clog dancing page.  When the non-Appalachian content is removed, then reference in the edit history to its relocation ought to keep things straight,  Comments quickly please, I may start quoting WP:BOLD!

replies: text: Pragmatically, I think it is easier to clone the page to Clog dancing and use that (albeit with a hathote to a Clog dancing (disamb) page) to develop a well referenced British clog-dancing page. It will also solve the talk page dilemma. This EFDSS page says almost every thing we need to put into the lead.  We can then at our leisure delete irrelevant passages from both pages. The split should only take a couple of hours.-- Clem Rutter (talk) 22:21, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clogging vs. Clog Dancing 

message: The derivation of the word "buck" given here seems needlessly complicated for the situation, and also doesn't seem to link it to its use for dancing. Why this and none of the other possible etymologies?
"Buck" has been used to describe a (young) male for far longer than the meat-smoking story told here (e.g. bucks and does) - "Buck dancing" refers to male solo dancing (such as often developed in occupations such as the Navy) or circumstances where female partners weren't available (such as mining  camps, cowboying, etc.), or in the case of a "buck dancer's choice" to a round of dancing where the male chooses the female partner (similar to a ladies' or gentleman's excuse-me).Jock123 (talk) 13:03, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The information in the second half of the first Netherlands paragraph is derived from Ehow's web page detailing "the history of Dutch wooden clogs".  I was not able to include the citation, as ehow is on Wikipedia's blacklist as a spam site.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ramseyman (talk • contribs) 07:28, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

message: We really can't start off with "Clogging is a type of North American folk dance" and then immediately discuss English and Welsh origins going back to the 15th century!  Perhaps "Clogging is a type of folk dance originally based upon the sound of clogs." and leave the Appalacian developments to the United States section?  The third paragraph also worries me, see clog where the evolution of the English clog is discussed, it comes not from the whole foot Dutch style, but from the development from pattens which I suspect is the confused source of the last sentence.  Can anyone confirm or cite this interpretation of "flat footing"?  To me a flat footed dancer is one who doesn't use rise and fall. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 16:30, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

message: When I was a boy my family lived across the street from a baptist preacher and his family. He was a permanent fixture (not an itinerant preacher) at a middle sized baptist church nearby. I don't know what his title was, but it was something more professional than deacon, and something less august than bishop. My family was mostly secular, although we went to a Catholic church on a most weekly basis because of my mother's upbringing, which was pretty conventional mid-century Catholic. My father had been raised a strict Lutheran, but he had become agnostic/atheist, and so he didn't care about the religion that my mother taught us. I assumed our neighbor was like one of the junior priests at our Catholic church... someone who was on the payroll, but wasn't the boss. I went to the church to see him speak a couple of times, but I don't know what the structure of the clergy was at their church. I just knew him as Pastor John.
For all of that background, this is the one thing that always confused my family about the faith of his family. They were deeply conservative, to the point that they would say that rock music was the devil, and that dancing was the devil's business. But somehow their faith made room for clogging. Specifically, that country music accompanied heel and toe tapping style of dancing (excuse me, clogging), that they loved to participate in. Their church would put up clogging exhibitions in the very church, and my family could never figure out how it was any different from other forms of dancing.
So why is clogging okay to the Baptists but if you call it anything else it's the devil's business? Is this still a thing? Or was my experience with this possibly splintered off group of clogging Baptists unique?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:5:D004:990:7447:3043:9400:BAAE (talk) 05:00, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
