After reading the article on the St. Cecilia Society, I feel it is important to mention the extremely conservative, and in this case racist, nature of some societies. How representative are they? I really know nothing about all this, and feel that the article needs to clarify if these balls are often connected to such racist institutions, and if not, clarify the exceptions. It's one thing to operate on the basis on class snobbery, it's another to be outright racist. Can someone who knows more explain this in the article? Othewise if I tried to write it, I feel I might derail into a POV rant pretty quick. jugander (t) 15:02, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The external links need to be made into references, moved to the External links section, or removed per WP:EL and WP:SPAM. The list needs inclusion criteria per WP:LIST. Until we can come up with some other criteria, the entries should at least have their own Wiki article. --Ronz (talk) 16:10, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
On the disambiguation page, this page is described as "a formal presentation of young ladies, debutantes, to polite society." but in the article itself, this aspect is never mentioned. 72.11.236.10 (talk) 15:56, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've twice reverted an addition relating cotillion practices among Americans in the Alabama-Texas areas that have Cajun traditions. I think it puts undue (WP:UNDUE) emphasis on a subset of localized American practices. The addition was completely unreferenced. To the editor who added that: please consider finding a published source for your additions and creating a page for the information. This page is already too far skewed toward American cotillion activities--it should not be expanded further in that direction. Binksternet (talk) 19:54, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have copied the first few paragraphs from the "History" section here over to Cotillion_(dance), which is in sad need of better content. I'm not sure why this article is the landing place for "Cotillion" instead of a disambiguation page, unless it was that there was no previous article on the dance form. The first paragraphs here might wish to be revised or cut as a result.

A little while ago, my ballet teacher told us we were doing a ballet called Cotillion, and that we were village girls. I was a little doubtful at first, but now I'm excited! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.10.151.21 (talk) 23:02, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cotillion ball → Debutante ball – Per WP:GLOBAL, which would indeed include the "cotillion" designation and concept in the United States. Chicbyaccident (talk) 22:12, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
