Please move the first part of this article to Cape (geography) and leave Cape for the second part. For a dis-ambiguation page, please create Cape (disambiguation). Any objections?? 66.32.110.184 23:39, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

Consider it done. I moved the content on the Landform to Headlands and bays where it belongs and created Cape (disambiguation). Right now, I'm solving the redirects to the landform.--Paul 09:41, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

This page was vandalized on approx Jan 15, 2006. I restored it to what I think it was prior to the vandalism. Mark Allyn

Someone should add a picture of someone in a vampire coustume in a cape, as well as someone in a superhero costume.

[edit] Changed Evening Kapes back to Evening Capes

Kapes is a proper name; I did a search on Google and found no reference to evening kapes, but lots of references to evening capes. --Allyn 16:07, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Cape can also be a geological term. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.235.165.71 (talk) 23:35, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removing image

I am removing this image of User:Allyn modelling a garment he designed and sells on his personal website (linked to on his userpage) in violation of Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#Self-promotion. Also, although being an unusual design, the garment in the photo is not enough to justify inclusion in an encyclopedia - otherwise everyone that makes their own clothes could justify adding their work to articles. See Wikipedia:Notability. Besides... Cape, Trenchcoat, Raincoat, Costume, Poncho... which one is it? Allyn has uploaded photos of himself to all these articles. I suggest adding the photo to commons.

A more suitable image would be one of a superhero with a prominent cape for the popular culture section. RP Bravo 14:32, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Add a vampire cape, that is well known as well.

[edit] Fiction

There are capes worn by the Black Hand and Dark Templars in fiction.(76.247.222.101 19:24, 3 October 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Capelet

I thought the shorter form of cape (like the one in the picture), is called a capelet. I added this several weeks ago, but someone deleted it. cecikierk —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.162.20.186 (talk) 22:57, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Superheroes

Surely superheroes are the most prominent cape-wearers in today's culture? It seems very odd to me that they're restricted to a single line right at the end.

I agree with a previous commenter who suggested that a superhero would probably make a better image for this. The one we've got now strikes me as more of a shawl.

Also, I don't know if dictionaries are going to back me up on this, but to my mind the biggest factor distinguishing capes and cloaks is the presence of a hood. Is that just me? --Oolong (talk) 00:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
