message: ... is the perfect example of why I love Wikipedia so much. It's downright amazing that these wonderfully detailed articles about obscure topics get written! Thank you for it! mstroeck 17:35, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article ... 

message: Passed.  May require some better cleanup/expansion if you try to bring it to FA level, and I'd reconsider the gallery, but that's just my own two cents.  Looks good! --badlydrawnjeff talk 01:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: GA stuff

message: I looked at this article recently, and I do think it is a good article in some ways. It is well written, comprehensible, appears to cover its subject very well and has many fine illustrations.
But there are some issues that would need to be corrected. Otherwise, I'll list the article for GA Review. 
Following Wikipedia:What is a good article?
* The lead section does not fill its purpose, per criteria 1b.
::Done
* The external links and references should be cleaned up, per criteria 1c. The references shouldn't also be included in the external links. See Wikipedia:External links#References and citation .
::Done
* Please make it clear what reference material was used in what place, per criteria 2b. Instead of the last note This article incorporates content from the 1728 Cyclopaedia, a publication in the public domain. (funerary section at end only) , please put a footnote at the funerary section, that gives the 1728 Cyclopaedia as a reference.
::Done
* The text following the sentence "There were now many ways of wearing, and indeed carrying, this most complex and adaptable of hats: [list]" warrants a reference
::references are at illustrations showing the various ways. 
*  The sentence of the accustations against Joan of Arc needs a reference (per criteria 2b)
::Done 
* Need references to the sections "Christmas chaperons" , "Decline" and "Funerary ornaments on horses"
::1st would be several refs to individual works (many in article as it is), 2nd has one, 3rd done Johnbod 01:11, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK thanks - that's all do-able. Really I'd like to boot the funerary horse bit out to its own stub, as it's a different form of the word & doesn't really have much relation with the rest of this.  What I think it also needs is a few illustrations of the early forms from illuminated manuscripts; only the Van der Weyden illumination was specially procured for this (thanks PKM!)because the panel paintings with the later forms are so well represented on Commons.  Not so illuminations.  I'm doing up Byzantine dress at the moment but will return to this.  BadlydrawnJeff seemed to think the Gallery was OTT, so I'm glad you seem to like it - I think thats where WP can really score - no print source is ever going to be that heavily illustrated.

thread_title:  Outstanding Issues 

message: I recall that on Euler's biography, he's wearing a similar headdress in his famous portrait. Perhaps, given the notability of Euler, that image should be included on this page. -69.47.186.226 21:10, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
