Talk:Lei (garland)

message: I'm just gonna point it out... I feel the article lack some historical context like how these leis where used by royalty and the symbolism for each lei etc.  I'm no expert but it would be nice to get an expert on the this matter to help out separate the fakery that might come about by commercial advertising from the real history of the lei.  Like information about how "kukui nut leis" were only initially used by royalty or is this just a fake story to sell products.  It's really difficult to determine if this information is historically the case. Getonyourfeet 23:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: BAD ARTICLE!!!! LEis are not necessarily necklaces!  They can be open, or worn as wraps.  Leios can not ony be worn around the neck but around the head, wrist, waist, leg, ancle, shoulder,,et.  Furthermore this ETHNOCENTRIC AND UNFEFERENCED article is insulting to the Hqwai'ian people! There are no mention of Marquesan leis or Tahitian leis!  Micronesian leis and Melanesian leis ought to be mentioned here as well!  Lipschitz Roz (talk) 17:30, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

message: According to Webster's online it is pronounced sort of like "lay" or "lay-ee" (but maybe not as a diphthong).  Some-one who can put in the right symbols should add a pronunciation guide.Kdammers (talk) 00:58, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: not moved. Though there was some support for the argument that the garland was WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, the supporting arguments were largely rebutted, resulting in a consensus not to move.
