replies: text: I oppose the merge, too. Charivari should eventually become a disambig page of its own. Check out de:Charivari to get an idea of the number of meanings of that word. Rl 10:38, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contesting merge 

message: Sorry, but that incorrect. Charivari does not mean shiny in German - not even in Bavarian. It's true that it is the word used for the silver ornaments, but its meaning is most probably related to the whole idea of banging metal implements together to make noise (as you describe in the article). Hence also the name of the band (Schariwari) and various Bavarian radio stations. The German Wikipedia also suggests that the word means a sort of hodgepodge or disorder, which fits with the mayhem of the wedding custom. Thanks. Tanyushka (talk) 01:06, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  German for shiny? 

message: I rewrote and edited a lot of this article, but it still has problems of organization, redundancy, and citation (including, in the last instance, formatting problems). I hope someone will come along and complete these tasks. I also hope that users like Tanyushka will be bold, as Wikipedia encourages, and edit things in an article (particularly this one) that they see as inaccurate.Scrawlspacer (talk) 12:24, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Still needs a lot of work

message: All the info on this page describes this custom's use as a condemnation; the Shivaree disambiguation page, however, describes "a clamorous salutation made to a newlywed couple". This seems quite opposite to the tradition described here; do these words in fact describe two separate (but related) traditions, or does the word have a second connotation which is not covered in this article? Does someone have some info on this other meaning? Walkersam (talk) 07:07, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
