Is the RPG reference really worth keeping here? I can't even find anything that supports that usage as even remotely popular. -Sean Curtin 23:44, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)

I'd take it down if no-one can come up with a reason. --Ebz 01:28, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Anarchist Blue Ribbon

What does that have anything to do with black ribbons? --Digx 22:06, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grief symbol in Spain

The article says that the black ribbon use started after the 2004 Madrid attacks. This is completely false. I don't know the start date, but it for more than twenty years for sure. In Spain (as in other countries) the black clothes are used as a symbol of grief. When someone was to reflect the grief, but don't want to use black clothes it can simply use a black ribbon. It has no political simbology. It is also common in televisions to place a black ribbon for the loss of VIP, massacre or something similar. --Jose piratilla (talk) 03:38, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
