[edit] Cleanup

This page was in dire need of cleanup and reorganization. I recognize and appreciate all the fun, campy elements that are associated with Sailor Fuku, but please remember to be objective and thoughtful with additions. Certain "facts" in this article were also completely unrelated to the subject and have been edited accordingly. Also, I felt the "merge suggestion" could safely be removed since enough content has been added to this article to justify its independence. Ben Her 18:21, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

In an episode of Sailor Moon (#46-C, "Kindergarten Chaos"), I have seen a group of elementary school students wearing sailor fuku. Shouldn't we mention this?  Denelson83  01:09, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Isn't too much attention being paid to the appearance of sailor uniform in cartoons etc? It's by far from unique in this respect. Barryvalder 12:21, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Better picture?

The article could do with a better photograph, if possible from the front en trois quart, i.e. a bit like this:

A picture from the front is a lot clearer, and somehow I don't think we have permission from the "models" in the current picture. 82.139.85.33 22:51, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

That's true, but do we have a real-life picture that is freely licensed and usable? (Not cartoons, I think =P) –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 23:11, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

How about [1]? The lighting is a bit harsh, though. That can probably be fixed to some extent using a suitable gamma factor, let's say 2 or so.

There's not that much out there, after all we don't want cosplayers on a serious article, now do we? Right.

I don't know if we want a manga-style image too, but if we do, perhaps using Wikipe-tan would smell a bit too much like self-promotion? On the other hand, moé anthropomorphism seems to get away with it. Shinobu 03:32, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with Japanese School Uniform？

Sailor uniform is part of the culture of Japanese school uniforms, but none of the points mentioned in this article under the 'cultural significance' are unique to the sailor style of uniform and could easily be applied to Japanese school uniforms in general. With the Japanese school uniform article already holding much of the same information as this one (including the same pictures) I don't how this article can stand apart from it in it's own right. Sailor uniforms are perhaps the most well known of the various styles, and that's worthy of a mention in the Japanese school uniform article, but I don't think it warrents an article of it's own. Thought I'd canvas opinion before making any formal merge request. ShizuokaSensei 10:58, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
