Talk:International Clothing Sizes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a problematic draft article. It gives the impression that there exists a single standard clothing size in each of the listed countries, and that a simple table is sufficient to convert between these sizes. It is not that easy.

There are lots of other things that need work on this article:

• it should use tables, not bullet lists
• it should provide a source for the quoted data
• it should not simply copy the list of external links from the EN 13402 article, which are mostly not relevant to this article
• the word "international" in the article title is redundant
• the use of title case in headings violates the Wikipedia Manual of Style.

I actually don't think that Wikipedia should aim to provide a simple conversion table, as they are all necessarily flawed. What would be helpful would be descriptions of how to convert between body dimensions and particular national sizes, but only with adequate references. Markus Kuhn 09:07, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
