I tripped upon the NYCB page on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Ballet and then took a look at the page for Miami City Ballet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami_City_Ballet. This page could benefit from some of the BT expertise to spruce it up.

I have a vague idea that one can contribute to expand those Wikipedia things...but i have no clue whatsoever on how...nor that i intend to...(i'm below 0 on my computer knowledge... unsure.gif )

I'm not a Wikipedia person, but -- just in case someone out there IS -- here's a sample of how Pacific Northwest Ballet does it:

MCB deserves something equivalent. I know we have computer-literate readers at the company -- so, how about it?

(While you're at it, please replace the term "helming" and put in something more appropriate for the job that Edward Villella does. )

Thanks, bart. I've added some little information these days, but i'm still stucked with the pictures guidelines. Everyime i think i took the right direction, something goes wrong, and the pic doesn't get where it should be. Oh, well..patience...i'll get there.

Just checked the Wikipedia for MCB and found that all of the additions made earlier this year are gone. Might be a good time to update anyway because of the promotions and new season info.
