Talk:Muumuu

message: That bit toward the end of the article calling the mu'umu'u  "traditional Hawaiian Garb" is mistaken, as the mu'u is the invention of the missionaries, but I don't know what to change it to.  Any suggestions?

message: If it is "more often spelled as muumuu" why doesn't this article use that spelling? I would argue that "muumuu" is the actual English word, "muumuu" being the Hawaiian, and though the English certainly derives from it, the English version of the word should be used in English language Wikipedia articles. Spellings commonly change when we borrow words from other languages (just as they do in other languages when they borrow from English), and spelling it in the way of the original language is not more correct. We don't write "sonetto" instead of "sonnet" simply because we adapted the word from Italian.--Ericjs 22:12, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I think this section really needs to be cleaned up, not removed. Although I doubt the significant coltural impact of the muumuu, in this case I think it's been brought to greated cultural attention through these "in popular culture" examples. However, for this content to stay, I think we need to have atleast one source about the muumuu and it's introduction into the general populace. --NickPenguin(contribs) 01:43, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I just looked at the section and don't see any redeeming value.  On Wikipedia the burden of proof is always on the editor adding the content into the article, so if you could explain what should be cleaned up and how, I would be interested.  Of course, if I had my way, I would add the image of Homer wearing the muʻumuʻu, as King-Size Homer brings back very fond memories of a simpler, happier time.

replies: text: There may be some bloat, I agree. But that doesn't mean the whole section should be deleted. Doctorfluffy apparently has no desire to discuss his/her reverts so I suppose its fine as is. Information is the same whether someone finds it trivial or not. --ErgoSum88 (talk) 18:53, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I've removed the most trivial listings where the muumuu is not the focus of any special attention. The rest should probably still go too though. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 19:17, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your response. I agree with the changes. I'm all for keeping down the trivia bloat but that doesn't mean seemingly trivial information should just be thrown out en masse. I'm glad we could reach a compromise. --ErgoSum88 (talk) 23:25, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

text: I've removed a few more. The focus here should be how the muumuu is associated with obese people and the freedom of movement the clothing allows, etc, not just simply someone mentioning the word or wearing the thing because its funny to say the word muumuu. Examples that portray the way popular culture views the muumuu is what should stay. --ErgoSum88 (talk) 23:49, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
