[edit] Baldness

The information in the article has been merged into baldness. Therefore, this relic is no longer needed. Brisvegas 02:14, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Addition to External Links

I'd like to add a link to Alopecia World, a social networking site for people living with hair loss. Please check out the website to make sure whether this complies with Wikipedia's guidelines. WSchmied (talk) 12:25, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to add BeBold charity supporting alopecia sufferers

Neither of those links are appropriate for Wikipedia. Mark Shaw (talk) 15:51, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Regrowth?

I came here to check if hair ever regrows (I'm 19 and a lot of single hairs keep falling every day). The article doesn't address that. Can anyone add the info? --92.247.217.169 (talk) 07:54, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

How do you pronounce this word? --89.139.24.154 (talk) 00:37, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Can occur on the body?

I think alopecia can refer to loss of hair from the body too?--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:42, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Explain this to me, please

Isnt Wikipedia supposed to use everyday word usage? Then why is this article given the Greek name instead of the common word "baldness"? Who in their right mind uses the word "Alopecia" on a daily basis? Ethelred Cyning (talk) 21:08, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

  • I take it you didn't read the article before commenting. Baldness is a seperate article and isn't synonymous with alopecia. As for who uses the word, I'd advise a Google search. Cheers. ŞůṜīΣϹ98¹Speak 22:39, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
