Suggestions
editI'm glad you're writing this page; it will be a good addition to the pages on Irish dancing. I have a few suggestions:
The Membership section should probably be renamed something like Accreditation, and the levels should be in bold, or otherwise highlighted. A membership section should state what membership in CLRG means, and who is eligible to be a member. (Are dancers members, or only dance teachers now?)
In Organizational Structure, don't link locations (countries, Australian states, Irish provinces). You may want to make the listing of the actual organizations, with their internal territorial divisions as sub-lists - so for example:
CLRG
Great Britain
- Scotland
- England - Midlands
- England - North-West
- England - North-East
- England - South
Ireland
CLRG South African Committee South Africa
Australian Irish Dancing Association (AIDA) - Australia
North American Feis Commission / Irish Dancing Teachers Association of North America (IDTANA) Canada and United States
- Mid Atlantic
- Mid America
- Western US
- Eastern Canada
- Western Canada
- New England
- Southern US
Traditional Irish Dance Association of New Zealand - New Zealand
Registered Teachers of Mainland Europe - Europe

- Hey, thanks for taking a look at this! I mucked around with the list of regions, but I'm still not entirely happy with it. The problem is making it clear that each region is an equivalent entity in the workings of CLRG, and it just happens that in Australia and North America there's an extra layer of organisation. I suppose it's a semantic point but it would be good to come up with a way of showing this. Potentially I could just remove the other groupings, and have the Australian and North American sections at the end of the list. Just thinking out loud.
- You'll also notice I copied your list from the Irish step dance page of Worlds locations. Any ideas on where I might be able to get a source for this? I'm working on it but as with so much in Irish dancing it's something everyone "just knows"...
- I fixed up and expanded the accreditation bit too before I'd seen your message but I need to add just a little bit more for clarity.Triptothecottage (talk) 07:44, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
- I have no idea where the list of locations of the Worlds came from. CLRG may have had it on their website at one time, but I couldn't find it there. I hope there's a decent source somewhere, or else someone's going to come through and put a different reference for each one, and it will look awful.
- Your draft is in better shape than lots of wikipedia articles. When will you be ready to make it an article? Argyriou (talk) 23:16, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
- I'll make it an article hopefully in the next couple of weeks, I've managed to track down some of the only published histories of Irish dancing and the commission so I'll have a read of those, add anything I've missed, and tidy up the referencing from those. Hopefully one of those will have a list of the Worlds. Those books should help me work on the other step dance articles too. Triptothecottage (talk) 02:47, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
