Wikipedia editathon - Kenneth MacMillan

[bangorballetboy]

Wikipedia is hosting an editathon at the Royal Opera House on 25 October, with a view to improving the articles on MacMillan and his ballets.  Further details can be found here.

Well, their list of his one-act ballets seems to omit quite a few.

And some of his re-stagings of major works (e.g., The Sleeping Beauty for ABT; now with ENB - indeed all his work at ABT) also appear to be absent ...as well as works created in Germany .... (although perhaps the focus of this Wiki page is merely on those works he created at the ROH) ... If the latter IS the case it should I think be clearly specified so as not to confuse/mislead the international reader.   (I must say, though, that restricting that focus (IF that is the intent) does rather - at least to my mind - appear somewhat churlish and insular.)  I wonder what MacMillan himself would have thought of that.  I believe his time at the ROH was not always the happiest.

Well, um, that's what happens when encyclopedias aren't edited by professional editors. You get whatever the various people who contributed could think of, from their point of view.
