UNIX
Why is there no mention of beards and the relationship to the UNIX and open source? No picture of Richard Stallman? Boo! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.91.125.133 (talk) 04:49, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
It's okay to feature a picture of a white man...it's not racist
I seriously think people are trying way too freakin' hard not to be racist. We have this Nepali man featured, probably only because you don't want to be associated with "whiter power" and all that bullcrap. Guess what. It's moronic. Why feature this Napali? Chances are, a non-Nepali added that picture. It's okay to display white people... By trying so hard not to be racist, you're kind of excluding white people from the game here. It's just like with the page for "humans"; it features two Asian farmers. Come on, guys...this is ridiculous. We all know Asian farmers didn't add that picture. It's okay to be white.Swiiman (talk) 06:17, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
- This guy has a fantastic beard. Should non-white people only be featured if a good picture of a white person couldn't be found? 137.150.5.153 (talk) 23:11, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
- The photo was changed fairly recently. I don't think it matters what color the individual is; I think it's easy to argue that the current image is a somewhat superior photo compared to the old one (though the old one was perfectly serviceable). OhNoitsJamie Talk 23:25, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
Latter-day Saints
I'm removing the section on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Since there is no actual proscription, the unsourced tendencies of church members aren't notable. Any objections? Mateoee (talk) 02:38, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
Famous beard-archetypes?
I removed Henry Thoreau from the Neckbeard part of Beard Styles, as he is pictured in the Chinstrap beard article. I think his beard is a chinstrap beard, not a neckbeard (the statue of Nero would probably be the archetype). Frankly, I think nobody should be listed in the "beard styles" section due to the difficulty in authoritatively classifying one style of beard from another, but I'm not going to make that call. I only took Thoreau out for internal consistency. 151.207.244.4 (talk) 19:27, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
List of bearded people
Is there really a need to list famous people with beards? Beards are fairly common today and were even more common at some points in history - its like a list of people with brown hair or people who wear T-shirts. I'm in favour of removing the list or changing it to a short one for people who were famous for their beards. 137.132.250.10 (talk) 13:08, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- I could not agree more. I've already removed the list of fictional characters with beards. Unless someone was famous because of their beard or the beard received significant public attention they should not be mentioned. As it currently stands this massive list has no references whatsoever, so the easiest and probably smartest approach would be to remove the whole thing. If someone wants to rebuild using only sourced information on notable beards, they can do that. Beeblebrox (talk) 04:07, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- Agree. 2¢. -- Quiddity (talk) 04:48, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
The Language of the Beard
The Language of the Beard - Poets Ranked by Beard Weight was heavily linked via blogs, in summer 2009. Can anyone confirm the existence of this pamphlet he describes, and add it to the article? There's nothing in google scholar/books. -- Quiddity (talk) 19:58, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
Note
this is the greatest wiki page I've ever seen there should be something to distinguish it
Photo of Jimmy Wales
It says 2-day stubble, but this appears extremely unlikely. It looks like a week's growth or even more. Exploding Boy (talk) 22:06, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Civilian prohibitions
Regarding the prohibition of commercial pilots having beards, this cannot be correct. I know several Jewish Orthodox EL AL pilots who have fully grown untrimmed beards. From my own service in the IDF with a fully grown beard, I was also told by less informed ranks that I would have to trim my beard for operations involving gas masks, and this was not the case. It may have been an issue in the past, however it's no longer an issue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.176.216.211 (talk) 00:52, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Quality
'The name means something like "two-bearded, woody".' Really? Something like? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.241.87.213 (talk) 01:59, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
