Martial-v-marital
An IP altered this: "One of the young girls is selected by fate, being twice caught in the perpetual circle, and is honoured as the "Chosen One" with a martial dance" to change "martial" to "marital". I reverted the change but on second thoughts unreverted it. I'm not at all sure which is appropriate here, and would be glad of other editors' thoughts. Tim riley talk 13:41, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
:I'd suggest we just say she's honoured with a dance. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:06, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
::Am meeting SchroCat, Ian Rose and Cassianto this evening at the [https://www.parcelyard.co.uk/ Wehwalt Arms], where many happy hours were spent in the company of Brian Boulton, onlie begetter of this article. We shall raise a glass to him. Tim riley talk 14:52, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
:Well I don't think a marriage is part of the story at all, so 'marital' seems out of place. I assume BB's use of 'martial', was to evoke the warlike, intense atmosphere of the music, which seems fair-enough. If it is removed alla Nikkimaria, I'd suggest another synonym in its place, since the word "dance" alone may not properly convey the rather startling intensity it includes. Although I am a bit embarrassed to write this much about a single word! Aza24 (talk) 17:30, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- ”Martial” or just “dance” would be my thoughts, but how do the sources describe it? That’s normally the best place to get a proper steer. - SchroCat (talk) 22:29, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks, all. I've listened to the composer's recording and to Boulez's and have replaced the adjective with "forceful". No WP:RS for this, but I think my tinkering will pass muster. Tim riley talk 20:37, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Choreography "long believed lost"
It says Nijinsky's choreography was "long believed lost", then makes a suspiciously quick jump to talking about the Joffrey Ballet.
Unless we name the person who found Nijinsky's choreography, and say precisely where and when they found it, it's a safe bet that it was never found, and that the attempted re-creation was pure guesswork. TooManyFingers (talk) 21:14, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
:Have you considered reading the article? This is thoroughly covered in the main text. Tim riley talk 06:10, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
