message: Ralph Lauren's last name is Lifschitz, someone changed it to Lifshitz  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.231.232 (talk) 17:00, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You're mistaken.  Google the two variants and you'll see that there are about 5 times as many references to "Lifshitz" than "Lifschitz".  I'm not suggesting truth-finding by Google, but it strongly suggests you're mistaken.  I've reverted it.  If you think that you have primary-source information to prove your point (such as a scan of his birth certificate), by all means -- post it.  Otherwise, leave it alone.  And sign in, rather than posting anonymously, fer chrissakes. Bricology (talk) 19:20, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Ridiculous name change

message: As the person who discovered the actual petition for Lauren's name change, I know how it happened and so deleted the claim that his eldest brother Lenny also changed his name at the same time.  It was just Jerry and Ralph.  Lenny di dchange his name later.  Nomdevdt 17:29, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Looking at the Chaps brand profile, it appears the brand is now owned by Phillips-Van Heusen.  A quick google search did not reveal anything documenting the sale or transfer.  Does anyone know more about this?  Goose1011a 20:29, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

message: It appears the first line has been vandalized. 
For one, it's the COTY award, not "City." And there's no evidence that he won his first of eight awards for outfits designed for any "teen heartthrob" (and, asking for someone who was a teen in 1970, who the heck is "teen heartthrob Andrew McLean"?)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackmingo (talk • contribs) 22:02, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Polo Ralph Lauren' vandalized? 

message: It starts out stating that Ralph and Ricky have "have two sons and two daughters" then lists the names of two sons and one daughter. It sets a small biography for the three. Then it mentions twins Ella and Mary Lauren which makes no sense. I am not a good editor or writer, however the math doesn't add up. 50.11.83.42 (talk) 12:29, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
