Yehoodi article

I noticed your comment on Mikkalai's talk page regarding an article for Yehoodi. I actually did write an article on Yehoodi a while back, but it was subsequently deleted for not meeting the criteria for notability. You can look at the vote on the article here. Out of six votes, I was the only one who voted to keep it. --Cswrye 04:41, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PlainJane 05:44, 11 April 2006 (UTC) I've just added an article on Yehoodi. Hopefully it'll prove useful and worthy of a place in wikipedia.[reply]

Category help

I fixed the categorization. Generally, the guideline is that if an article is in a subcategory, it should not also be placed in its parent category. The exception to this is that if an article defines a subcategory, it should remain in the parent category. For example, since the Lindy Hop history article is in the Lindy Hop category, it should not also be placed in the swing dances category. However, since the Lindy Hop article defines the Lindy Hop category, it belongs in both categories. --Cswrye 07:56, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On lindy hop

Hey there. After watching the Lindy hop article for a few months now, it looks like you're the front-person for the article. I've been meaning to get my elbows in there for a while and finally made a start today. I just wanted to say that you've done a really great job with the article so far, and ask you to not take any of my edits too harshly. I.e. if you dislike any of them please revert or let me know that the changes are bad/annoying/imply the wrong information. I'm more interested in improving the flow and readability of the article than debating the facts (and seriously, I bow to your past experience and knowledge for those). Anyway, it's been great seeing your contributions and I'll hopefully start adding my own! --Koeppen 04:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome! Excellent additions to a "further reading" list! I'll respond to the other things on the Talk page when I have more time to procrastinate too (but for now will say that I agree about the two article split).--Koeppen 21:11, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Helping to write a dissertation on lindy hop sounds infinitely more fun than writing my own (which I'm supposed to be doing instead of editing Wikipedia). But maybe could switch for a little while? :-) --Koeppen 19:00, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

June I know you are the person with whom to ask so I will. In your studies have you found any teachers or people that can impart knowledge of how to lindy hop and west-coast swing in the upper midwest (Perferred North Dakota or Minnesota). I have searched high and low and the only thing I can find is someone that teaches ballroom swing and eastcoast/jitterbug which I already know. Any help you could be would make me very happy. --Brian ^{(How am I doing?)} 20:16, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Brian, Sorry, I live in Australia so I can't give you specific help on where to dance in that part of the states. Your best bet would be to try Yehoodi - www.yehoodi.com - and post a message asking for help there. PlainJane 10:06, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello PlainJane, I realize you're in australia, but there were two forums representing their respective scenes that had created Wiki pages to discuss their scenes in a encyclopedic fashion. These wiki pages, swingmonkey and minnesotalindy, have both been deleted without discussion. Do you know anything about this or how I might discover more information about the deletions? Thanks for your help!

Hi Shawn, I don't know anything about that, sorry - I haven't looked at wikipedia in a few months - teaching time! PlainJane 05:51, 2 November 2006 (UTC)ß[reply]

Swing (dance)

I'm so glad you're taking this page on! futurebird 05:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the amount of work I can do on those pages will depend on the time I have available... so that mightn't be much! PlainJane 10:43, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Imperial Swing

Could you write about this style? With Ike Turner's death it seems wrong the Club Imperial and the dance are empty pages. I'm just blocks from Club Imperial street address and will try and submit some to it's article including the KXOK Don Pietromonaco ("Johnny Rabbitt" persona) British rock invasion teen club it had. (Same basement area that Imperial Swing developed and Ike and Tina were singing in. The club has had many incarnations and is still a club) Alatari (talk) 06:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I know nothing about Imperial Swing...PlainJane (talk) 10:35, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
