What About the British Meaning?

The word closet here refers to a small private room. That's the origin of the term water closet, and the saying 'come out of the closet'. The article only mentions an Elizabethan usage, in regards to the meaning here.--88.110.248.34 01:32, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Sure, go ahead and add that def. StuRat 03:57, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Monsters Inc reference

Doesnt the reference to Monsters Inc and the long explanation pull the article too off topic and is unnecessary with the like to the movie included?

Picture of 'Hundred year old closet'

Shouldn't that better be with the 'hundred' the age of the closet is constantly subject to change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.145.21.187 (talk) 11:23, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

You're quite right, indeed I see it's two years older since you noted this, so I've changed it to antique.Number36 (talk) 00:02, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Larger Closets after WWII

Does someone have a reference for the allegation that larger closets are a feature of post-WWII housing? At least where I live, post-WWII housing almost universally has miniscule closets, and pre-WWII housing usually has huge walk-in closets of the sort that aren't seen any more. I find this description hard to believe.

A closet?

Not a closet?

This piece of furniture (at right) is a wardrobe, a cupboard, a clothes press, a schrank, an armoire ——but not a closet. Can we find an on-line advertisement that applies "closet" to such a piece of furniture with double doors? or was this a solecism on the part of some Wikipedian?--Wetman (talk) 19:15, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

There's nothing in the definition of closet that precludes it being double doored, and in this sense it is a type of cupboard. Wardrobe is a synonym for the same piece of furniture.Number36 (talk) 23:55, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
