More To Come

Needed (or I will get to eventually):

• The Development of the 3-part hopak
• More about the shift towards male-focused dancing. This is unique, and the hopak is the dance that led the way.
• Why is it performed differently by many companies?
• Aspects of competitive dance.

Please comment

I've upped the info to move this from start class. Please let me know what else you'd like to see.--tufkaa 00:06, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Repositioned picture as banner - has a more dramatic look Bobanni (talk) 21:06, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

The picture isn't really good, and the repositioning messes up the layout of the header paragraph.--tufkaa (talk) 19:46, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Why is this still categorised as a Russian Dance?

Er, I think it's time to move it. Read an article on it. It'd been aeons since it was first added as being a Russian folk dance. Given that all the referenced to the article exclusively refer to it as a Ukrainian dance, it kind of leave us with egg on our face continuing the 180 degrees on ourselves.

Well, Ukrainians are a russian subgroup so I dont see a reason to move it Phillipm0703 (talk) 20:17, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Because Ukrainians are Russians according to both Encyclopedia Britannica 11th Edition (1911) or any earlier; as well as ultranationalistic newspaper "Svoboda" in Canada, 1914 or any earlier, which refers to itself as "руський" vs more modern Russian word "русский", which can easily be tracked to Polish-Russian spelling reforms of 188x from pre-reformed Russian language (before 1918) using lots of Er' letter ("Ь ь"/"Ѣ ѣ") thus it wasn't pronounced -> "руський" == "рус(с)кий".

The dance itself was created in Soviet Union, 1937 and any previous date is fallacy. 89.1.190.40 (talk) 06:28, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Reliable source for the Team Fortress 2 statement

I'm not sure what kind of reliable source could be added to this to remove the tag. Pretty much the only way is through an in-game video such as the one uploaded by the Official Team Fortress Wiki, which is an open wiki that has published the video (and therefore counted as "not reliable"), but the process of these videos being uploaded is approval from two different staff members on the wiki (which is a form of quality control). I doubt it would be a valid source, but it's the only source that can prove this that I can think of.GrampaSwood (talk) 23:59, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

We need source that explicitly state that "Kazotsky Kick" is somehow related to Hopak. Video not enough for this. --Altenmann >talk 00:11, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Ah my bad, I thought it was for the sentence preceding it about each individual class having its own animation, rather than the entire thing.GrampaSwood (talk) 13:59, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
