Nantgarw tradition

edit
  • ... that the Welsh Nantgarw tradition dance "The Snow Mare" was so called because the dancers look like they are pushing a large snowball?

  • There are some bare URLs. Also, what makes some of these sites, like Tiscali.co.uk., reliable? Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:13, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
  • One week, issues unaddressed. Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:57, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Not so fast -- the nominator has not edited since 16 September, and other contributors have fixed the bare URLs.
    As for the sourcing, several of the sources are websites maintained by Morris dancers and dance groups, which are not top-quality sources. However, the article cites a diverse variety of such groups (not just one local sponsor of dances in this tradition) and there also are multiple citations to some more solid publications.
    I suggest using a hook based on the central facts of the article, which seem to be well sourced:
