Talk:Inflatable armbands

message: You use the term "waterwings" without giving a source. All you have to do is show the term "waterwings" is a word in common use per WP:V and WP:RS by providing some footnote citations to that effect. Regards, Mattisse 18:42, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The summary of advantages is unsourced and very subjective. Are inflatable armbands "inexpensive, easy to find, and durable"? Do they "help children to build confidence and learn to swim earlier"? And I doubt that "children may do better in difficult lessons and be easier to supervise if they wear armbands".119.224.91.84 (talk) 22:54, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

message: Who invented water wings and when?
First the article claims its Bernard Markwitz somewhere between 1956 and 1964, and then it goes on to talk about water wing designs from 1931 and 1907, so clearly he couldn't have invented them. --It88 (talk) 13:53, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Despite spending many childhood hours in swimming pools, I've never heard the term "water wings".  Who uses that term?
In my experience, they were always "arm bands". --Gronky (talk) 09:37, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't remember where I first learned the English name, but I thought it was the most common one. At least there are many Google hits for "waterwings" or "water wings" about these things here. JIP | Talk 06:24, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know about your experience, but in mine they were never "arm bands," which more properly refers to Nazi and funeral paraphernalia. They were always only waterwings. -LlywelynII (talk) 14:23, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Throughout my entire life I've heard them routinely referred to as water wings, never "arm bands." Though occasionally floaties.71.221.45.45 (talk) 06:26, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Who calls arm bands "water wings"?

message: this cannot possibly be true: Inflatable armbands do not prevent drowning, nor are they a life-saving device. Mistaking them for one can create a dangerous false sense of security It is not at all hard to imagine scenarios in which inflatable armbands would be valuable life saving and anti drowning devices.

thread_title:  do not prevent drowning? 

message: Here's what the wrong part said, Inflatable armbands do not prevent drowning, nor are they a life-saving device.. This part isn't right because the floater inflatable arm bands prevents drowning because it keeps the person floating from the air in those floaters, it can tho still get the person drowned, not saying it helps them drown, but it just possible can fail to keep them floating without swimming, if it slips off from flapping around or blows up lol or runs out of air, must find ways too counter act those things like, adding air into it with s pump or your mouth. But must be changed too it still can fail to keep the person floating if something happens to it like, pops, blows up, slips out of there hands and the list can go on. So is it okay if I change it? Now I may yet not have a source to back up my statement, but that statement is wrong, and I gotta now see if there is a source in it, but we must remember we can't always trust sources can may be wrong. Or semi wrong if its right for certain things.  Cause many people can just create a source account and say there right when they can maybe be wrong lol. But Wikipedia can be a source information to back my statement up. It's common sense logic,. Even certified experts can make some mistakes In there field of interest them.
