However I agree that the WGB's attitude to crediting authors and citing sources can only be described as extremely lax. I also agree with Peter Hastings in that programmes (or cribs) should really mention a published source for a dance, if available, in addition to the deviser's name. This is not as much of an issue now that we have DanceData, but still this is helpful information that costs nothing to include and ought to be provided as a matter of course.
