[edit] RL

RL is still publicly traded. The only connection to l'oreal that I can find is that they make the fragrance. Please give a reference before making this claim again Doc 14:57, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cameo and Trivia

IMHO there should be a small trivia section, including Cameo appearances and such. (He did have a cameo in Friends, didn't he?) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.174.122.220 (talk • contribs) 13:19, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

All trivia sections will over time be removed. There has been consensus that trivia is unencyclopaedic. Any fact that is pertinent enough, should be included in the body of the text. Doc 22:40, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I didn't know that and for now I disagree with the consencus since it's a simple way of listing smaller facts regarding (any) subject that are worth mentioning. But of course I will keep up with Wikipidian guidelines and discourage the use of Trivia-sections everywhere :-). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.174.122.220 (talk • contribs) 09:39, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name Change

As the person who discovered the actual petition for Lauren's name change, I know how it happened and so deleted the claim that his eldest brother Lenny also changed his name at the same time. It was just Jerry and Ralph. Lenny di dchange his name later. Nomdevdt 17:29, 4 November 2006 (UTC)Michael Gross

[edit] Name pronounciation

How "Ralph Lauren" is pronounced should be included in the article, specifically "Lauren." It can sound like the name or french. --70.111.218.254 00:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bias

This seems sort of opinionated. Stating that someone "grew up without fashion" isn't really objective.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.28.108.106 (talk • contribs) 19:25, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Suggest a different wording, but the fact that he and others have had great success at creating a look which is the antithesis of their upbringing is interesting in my opinion. Doc ♬ talk 19:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
