Skip to the bottom ► · WP:Announcements · WP:Village Pump · WP:RfC · WP:Central Discussion · WP:AfD · WP:RA · WP:Requested Translations · Happy to assist with the development of tables and other formatting elements upon request. Drop a line below and then add a subpage on my user page named "]" and copy all of the content into it, with some basic request notes at the top. I'm sure most of you would just as soon do it yourselves, but for those that find that manner of editing tedious, the offer is there. · I can also assist in creating translations (including that of content from other Wikipedias) as well as cleaning up existing translations that were bot-generated or otherwise broken/requiring polish. · Anyone want to coordinate with me on creating an article Broadway Dance? Or would Musical Theatre Dance be better? Anyway, it's a major genre that is not explained in any real detail anywhere on Misplaced Pages and I've thought that was a shame for some time. Not my favorite type of dancing, really, but it's too influential to not get some coverage. Unfortunately, I'm not nearly well-versed enough in the technique side to feel I could do it justice alone. I don't suppose many triple threats spend time editing Misplaced Pages articles, but who knows. Holler at me if you can help. |

Thử thách cùng bước nhảy
Hi Snow, Here is the link for presumably Thử thách cùng bước nhảy (literally steps with challenges). It is not the official name because the press conference has not occurred yet. This is just the info provided by major media like Thanh Nien, Tuoi Tre, etc. I don't know if I can watch the show but I am sure that if you are intending to create the article, I'll help you a lot by finding info and finding clips. The show was called Dancer Idol, SYTYCD Vietnam, Bạn có thể khiêu vũ? (lit. Can You Dance?). TanPhat Nguyen 15:03, 3 June 2012 (UTC).
Vietnamese Misplaced Pages has hardly ever built first. I am almost the bridge between ViWi and EnWi in some articles regarding on reality shows. I will join hands with you. Cheers :D! TanPhat Nguyen 14:14, 4 June 2012 (UTC).
- Much obliged Nguyen! You can keep me posted here: User:Snow_Rise/:Es.ntp_-_Thử_thách_cùng_bước_nhảy_coordination, or here on the talk page, wherever is best for you. Look forward to hearing from you. :) Snow (talk) 02:56, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
So You Think You Can Dance, Ballroom Styles
Hi Snow,
As I noted in my comments on the initial changes, that section is going to need some more work, but for the specific term in question, the show does in fact refer the the American-style version as "Smooth Waltz": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhAtJ0N_QkA
I'll track my suggestions in the talk page of the article rather than your personal page, but I just wanted to make clarification here that the show actually did use the term "Smooth Waltz", which means that's what should be shown on the page, by your logic.
Porfirio Landeros (talk) 18:45, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
- Nice catch - yeah, it should be added back in. But the other one that was initial replaced by it before the revert should stay in as well. We're going to end up with a half dozen different waltz handles eventually, but I guess it can't be avoided. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to post the info here.

re: Bloke (word)
I also was hoping that the RfC would resolve the issue and we could quietly return everything to redirects and disambiguation pages. That option no longer seems viable.
Unfortunately, my experience with AfDs of WP:WINAD violations is not encouraging. The editors of the page pile on with "keep because I like it" and unsupported "it's encyclopedic" arguments and the policy-based arguments get lost in the noise. There is also always confusion when people arguing to redirect are evaluated in the close as "keep" opinions (which they are) but misinterpreted after the fact as "keep-as-is". If the debate is closed as anything other than an unambiguous "delete", making further improments to the page becomes very difficult.
I suppose at this point we have to try, though. Would you do the honors? Rossami (talk) 18:50, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, and I can't help but feel that a certain someone did an end-run around the RfC process (or to be more fair, simply seized the opportunity when it was presented to him) because he knows the AfD will provide those kinds of procedural protections. Honestly there's nothing stopping anyone from just blanking the page, adding a redirect back to the dab and re-inserting the basic definition there. But I think that approach would just lead to acrimony at this point and I'm still confident that the policy is clear enough to make the decision pretty definitive. I'll be happy to do the nomination, but as I'm just out the door now, it will have to wait until later. Thanks for the timely response. Snow (talk) 20:35, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, you know what kind of bothered me about that whole situation was that there seemed to be some disconnect with the page history and how he had presented the chain of events on the talk page. He says that someone else promoted the article to mainspace (which doesn't make much sense) But what seems to be the case is that he created the article in mainspace himself from the start. Instead of creating a subpage on the talk page or using a custom sandbox, he created a subpage on the mainpage, or some such. Then some other editor came along, assumed it was an appropriate article that was misplaced and promoted it to the full article status that the original author wanted all along. But it should have been subpaged/sandboxed on his user page or sandbox or a talk page. I think it was a good faith mistake though. But I just don't think he should be so zealous about defending a page and being sure it's justified if he's green enough to make a mistake like that. Now he's very eager to have AfD process to give him a better shot at keeping the content in, but he's bent the truth a bit to gloss over the part that it was his procedural error which put the page in mainspace from the start, in violation of the (slim) majority vote of the RfC and policy in general, which means it's absolutely a candidate for speedy delete. He even went as far as to claim that the bloke (hah!) who moved the page was a supporter of his position, even though the edit summary clearly demonstrated he was almsot certainly unware of the discussion and moved the page because it's location seemed out of place. But I don't want to turn the talk page toxic proving that chain of events point by point...so, AfD.... Snow (talk) 02:11, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Your history
Have you ever edited Misplaced Pages under any other username? Cheers, Jclemens (talk) 14:04, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- No, but I did contribute as an IP for many years before I finally registered an account last year. Why do you ask? I don't think I care for the latest implied (and utterly unfounded) accusation anymore than the previous ones. Snow (talk) 20:36, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
