[edit] Definition of Vintage Clothing
I appreciate that there are a variety of opinions about the cut off dates for "vintage clothing" and it is for this reason that I have written the words "opinions vary" under this section. I hope that since I have added a published citation (a book) for the definition used, that users consider carefully before changing it again, or if they do so, please cite a reputable source. Thank you. --Nicole A. Jenkins (talk) 07:20, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fedora Lounge Link
Why does the link for the Fedora Lounge keep getting removed ? I think it's by the same person too. The Fedora Lounge a great place for information on vintage clothing. --AirLiner 01:05, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi there - I don't know who may be deleting your link - you have a great site!
Apparently linking to forums is against the rules and it was removed recently by a more responsible editor. Oh well. It was a good site but I'm still sure the original person to remove the link wasn't doing it to improve wikipedia. --AirLiner 02:07, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Is it ok if I put a link here?
[edit] Needs cleanup
There's quite a bit that needs to be changed. Some good info here, but there are no citations where there need to be, e.g. about socio-cultural perspectives, recent trends, women's sizes changing, etc. There's a few instances of weasel phrasing e.g. 'many sellers of vintage clothing consider...'. Apart from the problematic phrasing there, it's also questionable that 'sellers of vintage clothing' are a reasonable source to create a definition.
A link at the end needs to be in a links category or as a reference if it's the source for some info in the article. The particular link currently there is not Wiki-suitable, it's simply opinion and advice, with no real factual information or insight of any substance.
Overall, it's not very encyclopedic in tone, and needs quite a substantial rewrite. Spikedcandy 16:48, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
