Future editors of this entry are asked to be sensitive to the concerns of the subject, who asked that her change of names and gender not be unduly emphasized. As a performer, she feels at home in New England, she told the "5 things" videocast footnoted in the text, but plays widely outside that region, where she doesn't want to feel vulnerable.
There are now three arms-length sources in this entry. I think the lack of sourcing template can be removed. Pzicari (talk) 19:13, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Reviewers have removed this article because it lacks enough external references. The analogy drawn was to dance callers. The reviewers (correctly I think) stated that few dance callers merited an entry.
I do not think Barnes' case is analogous. Barnes wrote the absolute standard source used by virtually all English Country Dance musicians in the country. This was recognized by her lifetime achievement award from CDSS. But who writes a newspaper article on someone who compiled a critical music collection for a form of traditional dance? These sources are something that every ECD musican knows. When you start to play ECD they tell you to buy the book(s). This makes the books important but it does make finding independent sources tough. 208.66.215.199 (talk) 22:41, 15 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
