"staged combat" or "combat on stage" sound more correct. "stage combat" sounds as if either stages were fighting amongst themselves, or as if stages were used offensively. This is similar to "horsed archer" vs. "horse archer". I realize usage tends to favour the less correct form, but that is no reason for an encyclopedia to do likewise. dab (ᛏ) 13:50, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
- I disagree. "Stage combat" is not incorrect common usage of an adjective-noun combination. It is a vernacular noun phrase in itself. As such, it amounts to a technical term, which is recognized and used not only by laymen but by the majority of actors and fight choreographers. Just as a practical consideration, the vast majority of people seeking information on this topic would probably type in either "stage combat" or "fight choreaography."

- It also lacks references, which generally disqualifies it from being B-Class. Badbilltucker 19:31, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] split
this should probably be split, into at least
- theatre
- film
- live performance (reenactment)

[edit] External links
We shouldn't allow links to individual "combat reenactment" groups, since there are probably hundreds of them, and there is no sort of quality or notability control. Stage combat academies or associations are probably fair game, but individual groups will have to argue notability from film, theatre, or reviews or recommendations from notable sources. dab (𒁳) 09:41, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
