Interesting article that recently was expanded from ~1500 to ~7600 characters of prose, not counting the lead section. Neutral and supported by good sources. The hooks are OK and I could confirm the citation using Google's snippet preview. QPQ done. The image looks good, is in the article and has gone through the appropriate process at Commons, but can you confirm that it is Robbins' version they're performing and not for example the more famous one by Nijinsky? Commons and the Flickr source only say "Afternoon of a Faun", without specifying the version. Ffranc (talk) 13:46, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Ffranc: Thanks for the review. I'm quite sure it's the Robbins version they're performing because the costumes and set (the ballet barre at the back) matched. See this image on the New York City Ballet website. Valery Panov also mentioned in his book ([2]) that he had danced the Robbins version (though an image caption credited the wrong choreographer). I found the book after you pointed that out and added a tidbit about the Panovs in the performance section of the article. Corachow (talk) 19:11, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
I also found this source that mentions the Panovs performing Robbins' ballet in Israel in 1977. Everything looks good then, ready to go. Ffranc (talk) 11:04, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
