Talk:Contortion

This section does not look good: it lacks the introduction that should have explained the reasons for selection of particular performers(cf. MOS:LISTINTRO), has potentially nearly unlimited size (cf. Category:Contortionists that has almost 40 articles of notable contortionists and out list of 18 people plus two red links). IMHO the section shall be rewritten using some source with the list of most know contortionists or deleted altogether. Викидим (talk) 06:19, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
