Talk:Eyebrow piercing

message: I know rejection and migration are very common with eyebrow piercing, but the way some people make it seem is that they are guaranteed to do so. Will they always do that? Lizzysama 23:40, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  rejection/migration 

message: At least one of the sources links to a 404 page.  The others would hardly be called reliable sources.
There are multiple contradictions throughout the article (see my comment on History and Culture section, below).
I think the whole article needs to be rewritten from scratch.  It is that bad.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.115.124.196 (talk) 02:40, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

message: I've unified the spelling of jewellery on this page again, per WP:ENGVAR.  A browse through the history indicates that it's jumped back and forth repeatedly and never been unified, so I went with the majority at the time, which was the UK spelling of "jewellery".  Please don't change it again.  --Escape Orbit (Talk) 16:51, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling 

message: i have heard of brow piercing being associated with paralysis of part of the face when not done properly, since there is a major nerve in the area where the piercing takes place. Is this true, shouldn't be noted? Harryngo (talk) 07:21, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  nerve damage 

message: I've noticed that there is no reference to the anti-brow piercing in the article. Is this worthy of it's own page or just a mention on this one? I first performed an anti-eyebrow piercing in late 2001 and had barely heard of them at the time. Since then they seem to be getting more and more popular. Cheers!

replies: text:  Perhaps because we have it under a slightly different name. To be safe, and assuming others will be looking for the same thing in the future, I created Anti-brow as a redirect to that page. hmwithτ 20:32, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Anti-Brow 

message: This article has several issues, but as I have never editted it before and some of them may be, err, bold, I am coming here first.  Succinctly:
* I have concerns about the reliability of sources, and may be removing some (several) of them.
* The health information is out of keeping with community standards and guidelines... although I don't have links to those guidelines right now, sadly.  <looking>
Anyone going to scream if I just wade in?

thread_title:  Clean up proposal 

message: Ugh.  This is what the History and Culture section says:
"Eyebrow piercings are of contemporary origin, like most surface piercings.[1] They are relatively common piercings, although some may say that they are not socially accepted in a way similar to navel and nose piercings.[1] Anti-eyebrow piercings are relatively uncommon. Eyebrow piercings are generally seen as normal in most mainstream alternative subcultures."
It is awful.  First, whoever wrote that has no idea what citations are.  Throwing a number in brackets does not make a claim legitimate.  Those numbers have to link to a supporting document.  Second, the phrase "although some may say" is a personal pet peeve of mine, which causes me to cringe every time I see it on a Wikipedia entry.  Third, what is the point of the anti-eyebrow piercing sentence in this paragraph?  It does not tell the reader anything about eyebrow piercings, or even what an anti-eyebrow piercing is.  Finally, there is a contradiction between the second and fourth sentence.  Either "they are not socially accepted" or they "are generally seen as normal in [whatever the heck a] mainstream alternative subculture [is]."  For the record, I don't believe there is a such thing as a "subculture" that is both "mainstream" and "alternative."
I think the whole section should be removed until it can be improved with verifiable sources.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.115.124.196 (talk) 02:35, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

message: So...I cleaned up the whole article.  The original article (in full!) was found while I was researching mine.  The original article was a cut and paste from ©Cheyenne Morrison, The Piercing Temple, Australia 98, completely uncredited.  My article has current sources, no 404 links, no bias and no generalizations, and I removed the "some say" lines because ughhhhhh.  Enjoy and feel free to improve!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.115.124.196 (talk) 13:50, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
