Talk:Catholic school uniform

message: I can't agree with the statement that "almost all Catholic schools have dress regulations". Almost all Catholic schools in Austria don't, for starters. I know too little about the worldwide situation to change the text, though... —Nightstallion (?) 12:01, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The exact statement was: "Nearly all Catholic schools have some form of dress code and the question is why why it does not make us smarter and i think that is stupid
. . .". A dress code, as the term is used in the United States, can be very rudimentary, requiring "neat appearance", "well groomed", etc. That said, it should be noted that the entire article, in its present form, does appear to be U.S. centered. This is not a conspiracy, just the natural result of the limitations of the knowledge of the contributors (myself included), who are necesssarily limited to what they know. But perhaps it is best if these limitations were stated outright. JFPerry 16:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, schools in Austria, including Catholic private ones, very rarely have written or even informally official dress codes... Maybe we should put the US-centric tag on it? —Nightstallion (?) 18:48, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I added some UK-specific information which might make this article a little less US-centric.  British school pupils are well-known for the wearing of school uniforms throughout the education system. --Mal 22:50, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Dress codes in Catholic schools

message: I have removed this information because it is already covered by the fact that most British schools (Roman Catholic, Church of England, and non-denominational state schools etc) have a uniform policy.  There is no need to add the extra information specifically about Church of England schools, unless there is anything particularly notable about how or why CofE schools wear school uniforms.  In that case, information should also be added about what is notable about other British schools by way of contrast. --Mal 12:58, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Firstly, uniform codes tend to be much stricter in Church of England schools.  Secondly, to the extent that it's a fetish {see Schoolgirl uniform fetish), the religious connotations - implying innocence and virginity - are quite important. Taxwoman 13:12, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redundant info 

message: I think it's fine to mention the duo briefly in this article. Just a few points:
* Obviously, the uniforms that Lena and Yulia sometimes wore were stylized versions of, rather than actual, school uniforms. And, within the confines of stylistic representation, their uniforms may be closer to those worn by girls in American Catholic schools than to somewhat similar uniforms worn elsewhere (e.g., state schools in the U.K.). But do we have a firm source saying that they (or whoever came up with their image) specifically considers their outfits to be based on Catholic school uniforms, instead of just school uniforms? Not arguing; just asking.
* Perhaps, instead of being specific about the video for "Ya Soshla S Uma" ("All the Things She Said"), we should just talk about the general school-uniform style of the outfits that they often wore at performances during a certain period of their career. After all, they wore those uniforms, and variations on them, at a lot more points than just the filming of that one music video.
* Maybe it's worth mentioning, here or in another article, that the reason for which they appeared in the uniforms and exhibited lesbian behaviors was that it was seen as a sexy image that would sell quite well.

thread_title:  purpose section 

message: I just edited some diction/grammar in the first paragraph to help the introduction flow better and further clarify the purpose of the first paragraph. I also changed "stereotypically" into "stereo-typically" because "stereotypically" is not recognized as a real word according to wikipedia. As well as this, I changed "conservative clothing" into "school attire" in order to help the passage maintain a neutral tone because I felt "conservative clothing" has a slight negative connotation.

replies: text: Yeah, it is:  "Stereotypically".  "Stereo-typically" on the other hand, is not recognized as a real word.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 07:46, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
