In

In the article says: "Breast Cancer is a very personal disease as the breasts are a strong part of femininity and what makes a woman a woman."

It may be offensive for women who had lost a breast... please reconsider using this sentence....

CANCER

"Breast cancer awareness month"

Would it be possible to explicitly indicate when Breast Cancer Awareness Month occurs (that is, is it in April, June, etc.?)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.112.154.119 (talk) 18:48, 6 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

What is up with the trademarked pink ribbon international logo??

Seeing as this article is about the generic pink ribbon for awareness of breast cancer - the plain pink ribbon image should be displayed as it was before. Turning this page into an ad for a commercial company that "focuses itself on intellectual property holding, licencing and administration for and on behalf of the Group as well as for third parties" is very poor taste.

Make your ad under a more appropriate pinkribbon.com, and quite disrespecting all that the pink ribbon has come to represent.

And again: This page is NOT for promoting a single organization. Dozens of groups use some form of a pink ribbon. Pink Ribbon International does NOT deserve to have their logo at the top of this page, as if it were all about them. WhatamIdoing 19:51, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Teardrop Pink Ribbon

I pulled this text:

The Breast Cancer Action Ottawa ribbon has a unique meaning. The image, being the teardrop shape, represents the tears shed at the time of diagnosis, the pink represents the women who are living with the disease, and the black is in honour of those who have died. The Challenge is to end the deaths so that we can remove the black lining and wear the pink ribbon in celebration.

About the tear drop pink ribbon

firstly on the grounds that it's word-for-word off their copyrighted website, and secondly on the grounds that the marketing campaign for a local group is not sufficiently notable to merit inclusion in an encyclopedia entry on the broader topic. If you want to restore it, I suggest first re-writing it to meet Wiki guidelines and then putting it on a page about Breast Cancer Action Ottawa in a subsection titled -- Marketing Themes --.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month, v2

I propose that all of the stuff about Breast Cancer Awareness Month which is NOT specifically related to pink ribbons be moved to the BCAM page. I think this change will greatly improve both articles. Any comments or objections? WhatamIdoing 18:54, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Link to it, by all means- but this page is about pink ribbons, not breast cancer. Titanium geek (talk) 06:59, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yellow Ribbon Song

I've removed the confusing "history of coloured ribbons" paragraphs from this article- it's about Pink Ribbons, not every coloured kind of ribbon.

I see. I apologize for reverting it as vandalism. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 07:01, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Shawn- the wikipedia community isn't as scary as I thought. :) Titanium geek (talk) 07:07, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Not all! We just get sleepy sometimes. And on that note, off to bed for me.... Shawn in Montreal (talk) 07:24, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved the deleted information to Awareness ribbon, where it presumably belongs. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:06, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sexism

Under the criticisms section, no mention is made of the whole "Pink is for girls" thing and Breast cancer predominantly affecting women - has no one ever objected to this as sexist and a little infantile ? - 124.191.144.183 (talk) 10:39, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
