Support - It's a very nice photo. (I am puzzled by the use of "sacral" instead of the more common "sacred" in both the caption and the article.) CorinneSD (talk) 23:42, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Sources aren't clear why they use "sacral" rather than "sacred". My understanding is that the dances per se are not sacred, but are associated with sacred rites (and thus "sacral"). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:46, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps given the ambiguity of "sacral" (these dances don't just involve the lower back), that could be changed to "sacral (sacred)". Sminthopsis84 (talk) 16:39, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Except the definitions are slightly different (for instance). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 17:09, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In the spirit of cooperation, not aggressively pushing a point of view, I'd like to point you to the first two definitions of "sacred" on Wiktionary. These definitions make it clear that in these senses, "sacral" and "sacred" are synonyms. Thus, in order to avoid the confusion with the other definition of "sacral", I think "sacred" should be used, plain and simple. Another thing we could do is find the person who wrote this article and ask him/her for his/her opinion. CorinneSD (talk) 17:46, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we could indeed ask the article creator who is ... Crisco

. I think sacral has a slightly different meaning to sacred so I would be inclined to stick with sacral. SagaciousPhil - Chat 18:01, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support – It must have been fabulous to watch these dancers and thanks to Crisco we have it captured in a series of stunning photos; as Hafs says above, easily room for this one as well ... SagaciousPhil - Chat 10:05, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, SP. There were... 9 dances total, but three of them (tunjunganjali (sp?), oleg tamulilingan, and pendet) didn't have any that were FP worthy. (Two still need articles!) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:10, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
