[edit] Page move
Due to an edit (not by me) the COTW tag seen via Talk:Girl was absent for some time. Have reinstated the tag there. --Janke | Talk 20:20:14, 2005-08-31 (UTC)
[edit] Image caption
Hi. I stumbled upon this page by accidentally clicking the wrong link in a disambiguation page. My one grievance is that there is a picture of a teenage girl who looks like she just came off the movie set, with the caption "typical teenage girl". I have met a lot of teenage girls (and boys) while teaching, and I think that the "typical" or normal teenager does not have the perfect smile, perfect hair, perfect body, etc. Maybe the caption should be changed to "an example of a teenage girl", or something along those lines.

[edit] Etymology
On QI the panel game on BBC television it was stated that the word "girl" had not always meant a female child. Looking up this up I found Oxford dictionaries supporting this statement whereas this Wikipedia entry did not mention it. For completeness, showing differing views, I added a sentence (or so) to this effect to the etymology section as a bullet point and made the existing but quite different view into another bullet point. The diff [1] at first glance seems to show that content was removed and so the edit was reverted. A longer second look will reveal that nothing was removed. The addition seems to improve the etymology section making it more complete. I propose the addition is reinstated. Mashzeroth (talk) 23:13, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for explaining. What you propose makes sense. JoeSperrazza (talk) 00:25, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
[edit] We Need More Picturess
Very good article, however, We greatly Need More Pictures. I would like to see younger girls too, toddlers et al. Thank You Very Much 137.30.122.155 (talk) 06:27, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Adding content to the article: Suggestions for section topics?
I'm just wondering if anyone has suggestions for section topics that would be a good fit in this article. I'd like to add more content to it. OttawaAC (talk) 01:04, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
- A section called History - about the position that girls have occupied in society throughout history, how they were treated, what was expected from them etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.25.160.232 (talk) 08:01, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
I'm adding more info to this article, but I will no doubt have to create some new standalone articles. The history of girls' games, toys, etc., is a category unto itself. (-; OttawaAC (talk) 01:56, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe something on organizations for girls, like the Girl Scouts and Girl Guides. Kaldari (talk) 20:42, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
