[edit] Missing link

The link between these two uses in that up through the 1940s or so women often wore undergarments with legs (most often called drawers in the 19th century, and knickers in the 20th). Churchh 08:05, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit war

Previous edit was a shot in an edit war, when consensus hasn't been reached. Please cease and desist until the community reaches consensus. The Editrix 12:21, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

You're the one who's unilaterally trying to impose her strange categorizations on Wikipedia, without even having the common decency to offer the remainder of us peons on Wikipedia one single shred of meaningful explanation. The fact that you've been silent on your user talk page for three days now (while very actively editing on Wikipedia all the while), indicates that you have no meaningful explanation to offer -- and that being the case, I feel no hesitancy in reverting to the categories that were there before you started unilaterally imposing your individual agenda. Frankly, your high-and-mighty accusations of "edit-warring" don't go very well together with your refusal to offer any meaningful explanation for your uncooperative unilateral actions (which others have called into question as well as my self).Churchh 13:22, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Golf Knickers (or Knickerbockers)

"Knickers" is also a common term (in the US at least) for old fashioned golf pants. Should this be represented on here somewhere, or have some kind of disambiguation? Or just a "see also"? Knickerbockers links here but there's no link back.

[edit] United States

Since when are women's undergarments considered knickers in the US? Thats the term for the short pants boys wore a few decades ago, not for panties —Preceding unsigned comment added by Longjanes (talkcontribs) 23:46, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
