message: Does there really need to be a link to it right-smack at the top of this page? There is very little chance of someone confusing the two things, so I doubt a disambiguation is necessary. I move to remove that link. People who come onto Wikipedia looking for the teabagging article are surely able to search for it on the sidebar...
Maybe someone is not sure what the practice is called and all they know are the words "bag" and "tea". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.17.148.36 (talk • contribs)

replies: text: 'Teabag' is also a verb (as in to teabag someone, i.e. placing one's testicles in their face). Therefore there is a valid reason why the disambig should stay.-h i s   s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 19:54, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To be pedantic, "teabagging" can also be a noun if it's used as a gerund (e.g. "teabagging is a sexual practice") --Slashme (talk) 07:19, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

text: I came here looking for "teabagging" myself. Well, actually my second search would've been that exact word after noticing there wasn't a DAB link at the top. (I came here because the contradiction warning at the top made me curious.) I wanted to know if this was just a video game thing or actual "sexual practice". Knowing it's the latter now, a DAB link somewhere would probably be helpful to others, maybe in a "See also" section? Retodon8 (talk) 00:47, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Can we improve the references to countries where different types of tea bags are used? It's probably misleading to mention only North America and the UK. I'm certain they're common throughout Europe, Asia and the Pacific, but would like more accurate information before editing.

message: I am wondering why tea bag paper (and coffee filter paper) unlike any other paper, does not disintegrate after prolonged exposure to boiling water. I know nothing about paper making but I thought that paper was made by soaking fiber in water then drying. I have  googled but don't know enough to find an answer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.17.148.36 (talk • contribs)

message: I've got a package of darjeeling in pyramidal tea bags that are made of nylon. Worth noting? Does anyone know anything about the costs involved manufacturing nylon tea bags versus paper tea bags? Shinobu 13:28, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know who wrote most of the article? Because it is in desperate need of references, and this omission is an unfortunate stain on the blason of an otherwise good article. Shinobu 14:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

message: According to this article the first teabags manufactured were made from hand sewn silk muslin dating to 1903. The article on paper, however notes the use of paper teabags by the Chinese as early as the Tang Dynasty (618-907) A.D. If this is true,  The article should be modified to reflect this.

replies: text: The paper article says that paper was folded and sewn into square bags to preserve the flavour of tea.  This does not seem to refer to teabags as a method of steeping tea. --Slashme (talk) 07:04, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I removed the tags that say that the article is disputed and contradicts other articles, because these issues seem to have been resolved.  If there is still a dispute, please discuss it on the talk page before putting up the tags again: maybe we can resolve it more simply. --Slashme (talk) 07:22, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

message: An anonymous editor added a comment that the heat-sealed paper fibre teabag was invented by William Hermanson of Technical Papers corporation.  This sounds plausible, but I can't find a source.  If you have a source, please add it. --Slashme (talk) 05:36, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
