Cher M. Bigé,

Thank you for your contributions! It's great to have expert editors, especially in dance, which is overall a neglected area on English WP. Please let me know if you have any questions about editing here—I've been around for a while, and I'm happy to help.

I did want to bring your attention to something before it led to any problems. In academia, of course, it's common to cite personal communication (especially with important figures). On WP, however, our readers can't confirm that you are who you say you are, or that you're accurately quoting your communication—it's not personal, it's just that we can't verify the identity of all our editors. Because of this, we ask for all our sources to be WP:Published, so that a skeptical reader could go confirm for herself if she needed to. I personally really appreciate your sharing Steve Paxton's ideas, but by WP policy I'm afraid we have to ask you to publish them first in some peer-reviewed or otherwise reliable source, and then cite that.

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Contact improvisation, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Alexbrn (talk) 16:28, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
