I was told from a dog that quadrille means squared

"Quadra" was a Latin word meaning "square", but "Quadri-" as a prefix means little more than "having four of something". Churchh 16:31, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking the card-game section should be it's own article. meccaneer (talk) 06:07, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An disambiguation entry for 'Quadrille weave' in the field of textiles seems needed in my opinion.

However, I am not competent, even to write a stub on it, happened to pop in here to learn what it exactly is. Tommie (talk) 14:58, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

portmore America? tenth century?

This paragraph makes no sense:

The quadrille was also danced in the portmore America. In the early part of the tenth century "complicated steps and patterns such as pigeon-winging – a showy maneuver involving, in part, jumping into the air and striking both legs together – and jigging at the corners" were part of the dance. Those fancy steps had by mid-century for the most part been replaced by simple walking steps.[1]

First off, "portmore America" appears only in this article and copies of it. Nearly all other references to the word "portmore" are to either the city in Jamaica or the town in County Antrim, Ireland. Thus, "portmore America" in this sentence is meaningless.

Secondly, the footnoted reference makes it clear that the "complicated steps and patterns" were used early in the nineteenth century, not the tenth. 209.133.111.65 (talk) 21:47, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, it seems to have made sense up until edit 492361151.

A pair of head couples?

After I just reverted what seemed to me some apparent vandalism, I realized that one of them, the change from one head couple to a pair of head couples, was itself done in an effort to revert vandalism. I don't know which is correct, since this sentence is not referenced, and I don't have the time to search for a reference now. Because it seems odd to denote half of the dancers as "head", when that term usually denotes the position of a select few (≤¼), as for the head of a table, I will leave it at "one". — Sebastian 20:55, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
