Talk:Sideburns

Removed Scrooge McDuck from the list of men known for their sideburns for the following reasons:

He has no ears and therefore no sideburns
His hairstyle is more of a bald-headed wraparound
His "hair" is actually feathers anyway
He is a duck, not a man

I'm very surprised nothing was mentioned of Luke Perry or Jason Priestley who popularized sideburns in the early 90's on Beverly Hills 90210 after they had become unfashionable in the mid to late 80's. I'll look for sources on that before I edit the article though. Yankees76 21:05, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Musicians like Glenn Danzig or James Hetfield surely popularized sidesburns throughout the 90s (at least in the metal/punkrock scene). Which probably goes back to their admiration of the music from the 50s/60s. Both are known to like rock and roll and country.--80.133.245.89 15:32, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Probably, but sources would help validate such statements. I doubt Hetfield was particularly noted for his sideburns until well after they had become fashionable/popular in the mid 90's. If I recall he had 80's metal hair up until the Load era, and in 1995 even sported a mullet/mohawk haircut complete with chinstraps - not sideburns [1].

Wolverine

I really don't think the prevalence of sideburns throughout the world is due to the popularity of the character Wolverine.

Eligibility requirements

To cut down on self-promotion (or other promotion of non-notables) I have added the following "invisible" editorial guideline:

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: If they aren't notable enough to have an article here at Wikipedia, they aren't eligible for inclusion here. Only include those with articles, so write the article first. Wikipedia is not to be used for promotion or advertising.

Gallery

To make the article more interesting, we could start a gallery with images (from those with articles here) showing some of the various styles and some of the more spectacular ones. It should be limited to maybe 8-16 (divisible by four, since that's the breadth of the gallery). I'll make a start and others can add to it. -- Fyslee/talk 06:58, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sideburns vs. Burnsides

When did this inversion occur? Beefart is sixty years old and as a boy in the 1950's it was already sideburns. Any documentation?
