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 12:24, 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 13:20, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I think "European clothing (historic)" is the better choice of the two. It is a subcat of "History of fashion" and more precise. Guermantes 03:25, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Discuss it on User_talk:TheEditrix then -- but most of those who are actually active in adding content to articles on historic European fashion (a group which does NOT in fact include "TheEditrix") don't see how it's really too useful... Churchh 13:20, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Native American bustle

As these garments are the same in name only, I think the "Native American bustle" subcat should be split into it's own article (stub). Guermantes 03:24, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I think you have a good point, although the term "native american bustle" is something i've never heard of in practice when this form of bustle was mentioned or discussed. Normally they are referred to as "bustles" or as a "bustle" rather than as a "native american bustle".

Then bustle can be changed into a disambiguation page leading to Bustle (undergarment) and Bustle (???). I'm not sure what paranthetical clarification would be best for the Native American bustle, as I'm not familiar it. Any suggestions are welcome. Guermantes 02:35, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm new to Wikipedia and not sure what that means, the disambiguation page. I believe bustles, that is the native american bustle, was named/called so because it shares a certain similarity to the traditional women's bustle in that both are worn attached to the waist and both extend outwards from the buttocks. The following links give some pictures and additional detail about bustles (native american, that is):

I'm not sure, but I think that there are more than two types of bustles, as bustles have been worn for centuries prior to the Victorian era. So, I think that saying it was "predominantly" worn in the mid-to-late Nineteenth Century is true, but also false in that it was word during the Elizabethan era as well as during the Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries, although during the latter they were not bustles in the back but bustles at the hips, known as panniers.
