message: I'm not sure if this article is really NPOV. It seems like a matter of opinion if someone is a Bombshell or not. Pelago 13:27, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

message: This article desperately needs an Etymology section. Just why is an attractive woman a "bombshell"? --NetRolller 3D 20:22, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Concerning the disputed sentence.  I did some searching and found news source mentioning girls painted on the nosecones and other parts of aircraft, and even on tanks, but I couldn't find anything about them being painted on bombs.  The news coverage of soldiers during the first Iraqi War showed them writing things on bombs, but no one painted any detailed pictures that I'm aware of.   Dream Focus 01:15, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

message: The term "ethnic" is nebulous in the second paragraph of the "History" section which reads, "Hollywood soon took up the blonde bombshell, and then, during the late 1940s through the early 1960s, brunette, exotic, and ethnic versions (e.g., Jane Russell, Dorothy Dandridge and Sophia Loren) were also cultivated as complements to, or as satellites of, the blonde bombshell."  Every human is ethnic, regardless of his/her ethnicity; to imply otherwise suggests a biased POV.173.50.19.172 (talk) 17:37, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

message: Is it just me or is it really interesting to find that of the 20 women named, only eight are covered by the sources cited? Aditya(talk • contribs) 18:56, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I reset the article to a previous version where names not referenced weren't there.  Some names are in the same reference.  Dream Focus 19:27, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The sources cited do not have more than a eight women named. I can see some 20 in this version too. Aditya(talk • contribs) 01:17, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I just searched for the names of people on a Google news search and the word "bombshell" and added in some references.   Just do that if you want more references.  Dream Focus 04:11, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

text: Added It looks like Ava Gardner, Carroll Baker, Brigitte Bardot, Ann-Margret, Veronica Lake, Raquel Welch, and Ursula Andress are not covered by any of the sources cited. Brigitte Bardot even has a picture to go with the article, despite a lack of sourcing. Aditya(talk • contribs) 18:05, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really. Easy is removing anything that's unsourced. The WP:BURDEN of providing sources and cites is upon the editor who adds or restores material, not the one who points out the lack of sources. Aditya(talk • contribs) 02:51, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
