LGBT categories

There are 2 of them but there's nothing in the article to back them up. Rebuffing a certain woman's advances is not itself evidence of homosexuality. We need more info, or get rid of the categories. -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 11:20, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

agreed

And done. — Robert Greer (talk) 18:15, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I restored them and sourced it.

Deleted Ashton ballet links

If any Frederick Ashton watchers have a few moments perhaps they might offer a 2nd or 3rd opinion on a question of a link to a sentence about a ballet in another article. I have posted the query to another user's talk page (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Cote_d%27Azur&oldid=651946354#Ashton_ballet_links), but am pasting it also below:

"You have removed again the link from Template:Frederick Ashton‎ and List of ballets choreographed by Frederick Ashton‎ to an informative sentence about the short Ashton ballet La chatte métamorphosée en femme on Wikipedia. I am not aware that any of the reasons you have given for removing the link are valid within the rules of Wikipedia, and I am baffled as to why you are so keen to prevent readers from accessing this succinct information about the ballet.

As I have already reverted the links I think I am now unable to do that again (you have deleted three times on each). I would hope that either you change your mind about this, or that other users put them back.

On the question of edit summaries it would be really helpful to other editors now and in the future if you could provide a short summary before saving your changes to articles. Summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history and appear also in User contributions and Recent changes. Thank you. Cg2p0B0u8m (talk) 16:41, 18 March 2015 (UTC)"[reply]

Secret Muses

Sadly Tim Riley is no longer on Wikipedia, but he added lots of impeccable material to this in 2013, but the article does not have any reference to the Julie Kavanagh book Secret Muses: The Life of Frederick Ashton. Faber & Faber Ltd, London, 1996. I cannot think of a reason for not having it, perhaps it could just be tagged on the end? If there is a reason not to, that's fine.

Birthplace

This article says he was born in Guayaquil in Ecuador, but the Yaxley article says he was born in Yaxley.

Which is correct? rossb (talk) 08:46, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Yaxley article has now been corrected. In addition to the Walker reference, it is also explained similarly in the Julie Kavanagh tome why he happened to be born in Ecuador.Cg2p0B0u8m (talk) 23:04, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
