Bikini contest
It is the one part of the article that I haven't managed to get to, and now it's tagged with a number of citation tags. It needs an overhaul anyways. Anyone out there who may be interested to pitch in. Aditya (talk • contribs) 09:08, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Many feminist and cultural perspectives have not been covered
There is nothing much about the position of feminists and others.

Some relevant articles:

 * Just gone through the relevant articles. The first article is a rant, and not coherent informative/analytic writing. The second one is nicely written personal opinion of someone who probably is not an authority/expert on bikini or feminism. The third one manages to make a point, though in the form of personal opinion of a non-expert. The fourth one isn't about bikinis. The last three are random personal musing, and not even a commentary. And, all of them are WP:SPS, hence perfectly unacceptable by Wikipedia standards. Couldn't find any useful information in any of them. Is there any better writing available? (see: WP:SOURCE and WP:RELIABLE) Aditya  (talk • contribs) 12:09, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

I have not read any of these, but I support Girl professor (talk) that Criticism (feminist or otherwise) is missing. Zezen (talk) 13:48, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
