message: If someone wouldn't mind, it would be nice to update the wikilink (under Cavalier#Cavaliers in the arts) currently referencing 1600-1650 in fashion to the page that redirects to, 1600–1650 in fashion.  (Note the typographically preferred en-dash in the date range.)  Thank you!  71.41.210.146 (talk) 07:50, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

message: In the mid 17th century party did not mean political party as it came to mean after the Glorious Revolution. I removed the box because Cavalier did not just mean or mainly mean political party it meant a faction in the civil war. -- PBS (talk) 18:35, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

message: This article looks like a terrible mess, the reader can hardly understand what is its subject.
Is it about the political faction? But the only historical hint available here is that they were royalists active during the British Civil Wars!
Is it about the clothing fashion? Then one would expect a more elaborate discourse than a single line (history of fashion, social significance, etc.)
Most of the article (especially the "Social perception" section) would be better defined as the description of a 17th century's stereotype, which I don't know how to properly categorize.
At the present state it doesn't match any of those tags, it's neither fish nor flesh, and it's confusing for a reader. We better give it soon a major revamping. -- 109.119.232.105 (talk) 18:11, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
