Precious

[edit]

ballet teamwork

Thank you for quality articles about ballet and its people, such as Polyphonia, Craig Hall (dancer), Taylor Stanley, Alicia Graf Mack, Concerto (ballet) and The Times Are Racing, for polishing and updating other dancers' articles in teamwork, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2442 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:38, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Gerda Arendt: thank you! Wiki's coverage of 21st-century ballet is pretty bad, and there are a bunch of horrible New York City Ballet related articles made between 2008 and 2011, so I've been slowly working on them. I created six articles in the past two days (Calvin Royal III, Cassandra Trenary, Aran Bell, Joo Won Ahn, Thomas Forster (dancer) and Francesco Gabriele Frola) and just rewrote an existing one (Élégie (ballet)), feel free to give some thoughts! Corachow (talk) 18:43, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you very much for all this. I just returned from a hike, and today went like this: I wanted to focus on an article started by a friend about a man, a musicologist. Instead, another article by the same friend, about a woman singer, was sent to draft, and I worked hard to find references. She's back to article space. Then I saw that another woman singer has died, and the same friend started her article today, so I was busy again to make it more substantial, now that the world is interested. Then I noticed that an article about another woman singer was begun (by the same friend) a week ago, so needs to go to DYK today which is not yet done. I'm all for teamwork, but often are just too busy, unplanned ;) - For the articles, see my user page, in case of interest. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:49, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again ^_^

[edit]

Hi Corachow, I hope you are doing really fine. I wanted to put you on notice about my sandbox. I am working with English sources on Figo Chan Ho-wun, I feel it's important to have the vice-convener of the CHRF done here. If you wish to contribute feel free you that understand Chinese. You are completely invited ha ha. Cheers. --CoryGlee (talk) 20:34, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CoryGlee, how are you? I did a quick search on Figo Chan in Chinese-language sources and it seems like there aren't much about him beyond reports about his arrests and him commenting on behalf of CHRF. He still doesn't have an article on Chinese Wiki. I'm currently quite busy with both my life outside of Wiki and other articles I'm working on, and it will probably stay that way for a while, but just ping me whenever you want to work on something that requires Chinese-language sources, and I'll try my best to help you! Corachow (talk) 20:54, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much!, I am doing fine and also very busy with health issues, mental ones, LOL I am mad. Nah, not really, same as usual so I come here to Wikipedia to relax and I love Hong Kong without opining because I am not a Hongkonger. :-) As I said, you're welcome.

I did a quick search and it seems like there are far more English sources about her than Sunny Cheung and Jordan Pang, so it will probably easier for you, but the Chinese version can be still provide some directions. I'm working on a few complicated articles on my own right now and I'll work on your sandbox once I have more time. Corachow (talk) 13:49, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Revert on McRae and Hayward

[edit]

Please explain the reasons for your reverts. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:05, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The original statement is far more objective and none of the sources stated the two, as you wrote, “ withdrew at short notice from sold out performances with the Royal Ballet at the Royal Opera House to join the production.” Corachow (talk) 11:40, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It is factually correct. See Hayward's tweet [1]. The tweet in 2 November, the date that ROH announced the cast changes on their website. The tickets for a March performance went on sale and sold out 23 October. McRae admitted he was withdrawing from performances on 8 November. Please do your homework before reverting good faith edits. Why did you not ask for these sources which you may now add to the articles. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:39, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Again, none of the sources stated it’s sold out. “Temporary absence” apply to withdrawing from performances. You did not attach any Tweet, and did not provide any source to support the tickets sold out part and the dates. Corachow (talk) 20:07, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I propose the following wording

Stephen McRae was advertised as starring in 2019 performances of Don Quixote with the Royal Ballet. Tickets went on sale on 23 October 2018. On 8 November 2018, The Royal Opera House announced he had withdrawn from the to film Cats instead. McRae wrote on Instagram, ‘ ‘I will be withdrawing from a few performances at the Royal Opera House’. [2]

Francesca Hayward was advertised as a Principal Dancer in the Fall and Winter 2018/19 Royal Ballet seasons at the Royal Opera House. Tickets went on sale on 23 October 2018.. On 2 November 2018, Francesca Hayward announced she had withdrawn from the to film Cats instead. She wrote on Instagram, ‘I really am very sorry to anyone who has bought tickets to see me in upcoming performances’. [3] Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:39, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You still don’t have any source directly stating what you wrote. We can’t put that on the pages. The best we can do is something along the lines of “he/she took temporary absence from the company”, which indicated that they withdrew performances, and it’s in the current version. Corachow (talk) 15:47, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand - no source? What could be more of a source than the words of the people themselves? I am not proposing the wording you reverted. I am proposing the factual words above. "Temporary absence" implies they had no alternative. It is is your POV, not neutral. I am happy to put this to an independent decison by an admin. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:45, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You don’t have sources for the specific dates. Every source regarding the matter use wordings similar to “temporary absence” so I don’t see how’s that a POV problem. If you insist on mentioning they withdraw from shows I’ll settle with something like “temporary absence from the company including withdrawal from performances.” Corachow (talk) 22:54, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have an email from the Royal Opera House Customer Services Manager as source for the dates and withdrawal. How should I reference this please? Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:57, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
A private email cannot be used as a reference. Corachow (talk) 13:58, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, direct quote from Instagram, fully sourced

On 8 November 2018, McCrae announced that he was joining the cast of the film adaptation of ‘CATS’, writing ‘this does mean that I will be withdrawing from a few performances at the Royal Opera House over the next few months’. [4] Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:54, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This only proves they took a time off from the company for several months, which again, is already in the current articles. Corachow (talk) 20:56, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean? It proves they withdrew from performances - not the same as taking time off. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:01, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The main job of a Royal Ballet dancer is to perform, I think anyone can understand that if someone take a leave of absence from a dance company they are not performing. Just put “took temporary absence and withdrew from some performances” if you insist, as it’s on the Royal Opera House press release. If someone else revert it I won’t do anything.

Unbelievable, the cute facts you turn up! - Could you perhaps check out The Rite of Spring - from the perspective of someone who knows ballet - because it will be TFA tomorrow? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:41, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just great! What do you think of boldly using File:Le Sacre du Printemps (Pina Bausch Tanztheater, Wuppertal).jpg, says much more than "panting" ;) - I saw it in 1987, quite unforgettable. The performance was titled "Frühlingsopfer" which is German for the French title, Opfer first being Sacrifice, not Sacred. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:12, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: When the Bausch version was performed in England in 2017, the title Le Sacre du printemps was used, not The Rite of Spring. I found File:CPinaBausch MAE 339978-9.tif, which was taken from a double bill performance in Barcelona. In my opinion, this one seems more powerful, the other one was probably taken during a curtain call. I might create a separate article for the Bausch version at some point.

I added it, also moved some pics more to context, made some larger, and used the French title a few time times when the English contradicts what a pic shows, and when dealing with Paris. I suggest to write more of the pictured New York Times review in the body, but feel I was almost too bold already, for an article that got Andy and me the label "battleground" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:10, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Gerda Arendt: I don't think it's necessary. There are enough negative comments about the premiere, any the NYT report mainly quoted a Le Figaro journalist, and there's a quote from someone else at Le Figaro. Corachow (talk) 23:08, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello back! I need your advice!

[edit]

Hello Corachow! My uttermost pleasure in greeting you again. I hope you're doing very OK. I am here to ask for your advice. There are currently 39 people listed in Category:Persons charged under the Hong Kong national security law. I saw that Category:Prisoners and detainees of Hong Kong was almost empty. So I added some, such as Alexandra Wong, Leung Kwok-hung, Jimmy Sham, Ivan Lam and Lester Shum. Do you think the rest of the 39 should also be categorized there? Best regards! --CoryGlee (talk) 16:58, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@CoryGlee: In my opinion, if someone is charged under the law and is either detained or imprisoned (which is most of them), the prisoners and detainees category can be used. Also, Alexandra Wong was never detained in Hong Kong, so the category does not apply to her.

Thank you for many interesting people! - Raimund Hoghe died, the dramaturge and chronicler of Pina Bausch's Tanztheater. Had no article here until yesterday, - and I find so far nothing about early life. Any help welcome! Let's make short edits to avoid edit conflicts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:49, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: I didn't find much either. As far as I'm aware, he was not well-known in the English-speaking dance world, so the only things I can find are from reviews of his American performances. I guess at this point there are more sources about him in German. I reckon a New York Times obituary may help, but from my observations, unless the deceased is very famous, it takes days for NYT to publish one. Corachow (talk) 09:29, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, you helped a lot, especially breaking that - as I saw only today - the German article which I followed was word for word from his personal website, so the translation in danger of being copyvio. Relief! - I found one better obit in German and hope for more. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:49, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You could do me on or two favours ;) - write more lead, because I'm a bit short on vocabulary for expressing how extraordinary his work is on the background of the physical condition he was born with, and/or support on WP:ITNN. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:16, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! Next wish: Tanztheater is a sad stub ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:43, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not very familiar with the genre, (I don't get to these works very often) and I had never worked on a genre article beyond cleanups, but I'll see what I can do. I'm planning to start an article for Bausch's Le sacre du printemps. It is one of the most famous versions, and it won't be the first version with a separate article (The Rite of Spring (MacMillan)). And if you can, I also need some help with another sad stub Romeo and Juliet (Cranko), probably one of the most famous ballets danced by Stuttgart Ballet, and choreographed by John Cranko, who also made Onegin. Corachow (talk) 11:08, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'll do what I can, from the pov of someone who loves watching dance and ballet, but without knowledge. Having seen Frühlingsopfer may help, even if decades ago. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:16, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I'll start with the Bausch once I complete what I'm working on right now. Corachow (talk) 11:33, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the ballet after Hindemith! - Today: Thomas Fritsch, the German character voice of Diego in Ice Age --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:48, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the flowers! I researched Bausch's Le sacre du printemps, but found less than I expected, so I might start with the Cranko first, though I'm still working on a few things. Corachow (talk) 21:52, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
All fine, - would you have a bit of time in between to look at Carla Fracci? I believe that we could make the article fit for the Main page, and you have much more expertise in the ballet part. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:14, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Heard about her passing a few hours ago. I think it requires more work than it seems, will do what I can at this point. Corachow (talk) 15:25, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If you know anyone who can help sort through the Italian sources, please let me know. I expect more obituaries in English later but I guess the Italian media have more. Corachow (talk) 16:24, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I asked LouisAlain, but as long as the template is up, we can't expect others to help ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:40, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
