The list of "famous" bolo tie wearers had a few entries that look more like attempts at self-promotion or something that actual information. I've culled a few, but if there's a reason for them to be on there, don't hesitate to put them back, just give a reason why these people count as famous.

Robert Evans did not wear a bolo tie, neither did Colonel Sanders. Robert Evans wore a charm from a belly dancer and Colonel Sanders wore a black bow tie.
This page no longer makes sense. Two adjacent sentences are directly contradictory. Is the bola tie a pioneer creation, or was it invented in 1949?
In Britain they are "bootlace ties" and in America they are "Bolo ties". Why is this entry headed as "Bola tie" when this bastard spelling is not used in either country? I would change the redirection if I knew how.
This should definitely be changed to BOLO instead of BOLA. Brainscar 21:11, 14 March 2007 (UTC) ____________________

[edit] Questionable origins?
Isn't it obvious that "bola" is a contraction of boot lace? Sibruk (talk) 18:48, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
No, it's not obvious; it sounds like folk etymology. I'd love to see research either way, though. Also, in New Mexico, you won't hear "bola", you will hear "bolo". Far more research must be done before we can put a definitive answer in the article as to its origins. Having speculative answers is good only as far as they are clearly labeled speculative. --BlueNight (talk) 06:35, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Stubbs.jpg
Image:Stubbs.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
