Talk:Pointed hat

message: The Sakâ tigrakhaudâ ('Sacae with pointed hats') were defeated in 520/519 BCE by the Persian king Darius I the Great, who gave this tribe a new leader. One of the earlier leaders was killed, the other, named Skunkha, was taken captive and is visible on the relief at Behistun. (It is possible that Darius created a new tribe from several earlier tribes.) Herodotus calls the Sakâ tigrakhaudâ the Orthocorybantians ('pointed hat men'), and informs us that they lived in the same tax district as the Medes. This suggests that the Sakâ tigrakhaudâ lived on the banks of the ancient lower reaches of the Amudar'ya, which used to have a mouth in the Caspian Sea south of Krasnovodsk. The pointed hat is a kind of turban.

Should we disambiguate to "Pointy hat (tribe)" or just incorporate the information into this article & the Scythian one? --Jpbrenna 17:05, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: yes, I have forgotten the Scythians! the latter option, I should say, mention them both here and on Scythians. The tribe, it it deserves its own article, is not called "the pointy hats" in English, it should rather be at Orthocorybantians, I suppose. dab (ᛏ) 17:59, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Could someone upload an image of a modern person wearing a pointy hat? Like that photograph of a young Kazakh lady sporting an ornate pointy hat in the Wikipedia article on Kazakhs, or a picture of a Japanese man in full ceremonial court dress. I'm looking forward to seeing some good examples of modern people wearing pointy hats. Ebizur 08:59, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

text: AGREED. This article is badly referenced and highly inaccurate. I recommend it be thoroughly rewritten, referenced properly, then merged with conical hats. There is no point in having this and an article about conical hats. Djathinkimacowboy 11:14, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Wikipedia already has an article about the kalpak, a high-crowned and sometimes pointed hat worn throughout eastern Europe and western Asia.  It lacks sources, but they should be easy to provide.  This article should link to it. I could not turn up the names of any other pointed Kazakh or Uzbek (or Kirghiz, Tajik, or Turkmen) hats. —Mark Dominus (talk) 20:06, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

message: I've added the liripipe hood, because the conical tail is integral to the cut, although it generally lies flat. I've made and worn one, and can recommend them. The tail is not generally separate from the hood, so if the genin is accepted (the correct spelling of hennin: the latter's its phonetic form), then I think the hood can be too, as it's length is almost certainly the precursor of the religious penitentes hoods.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.213.9.109 (talk) 02:07, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

message: I believe this article is a descendant of the former article Pointy hat, whose name, I once read, was seen as controversial. I have a separate issue. The fact that a bunch of different pointed hats, from different cultures, made from different materials, are lumped together in a Wikipedia article under the rubric of "pointed hat" clearly constitutes WP:Original research. Looking at the sources, none of them does anything more than discuss a given type of pointed hat, not pointed hats in general. We need to find sources which discuss the generic "pointed hat", not individual hat types with conical crowns. If we want to instead have a category called :Category:Pointed hats, that poses no problem, as I see it.
If this piece of original research is allowed to stand, then what about other articles, such as Boxy cars, Shiny fabrics, Long-legged birds and Nasty weather? Perhaps we have our work cut out for us, or perhaps  (I hope) none of these articles need exist?--Quisqualis (talk) 21:36, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
