Talk:Black ribbon



Is the RPG reference really worth keeping here? I can't even find anything that supports that usage as even remotely popular. -Sean Curtin 23:44, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)

I'd take it down if no-one can come up with a reason. --Ebz 01:28, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Wearing Black Ribbon for Princess Diana's Death
No one in the UK has ever heard of this ever being done. If it was done, it wasn't very poplar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.153.52.21 (talk) 16:53, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Anarchist Blue Ribbon
What does that have anything to do with black ribbons? --Digx 22:06, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Grief symbol in Spain
The article says that the black ribbon use started after the 2004 Madrid attacks. This is completely false. I don't know the start date, but it for more than twenty years for sure. In Spain (as in other countries) the black clothes are used as a symbol of grief. When someone was to reflect the grief, but don't want to use black clothes it can simply use a black ribbon. It has no political simbology. It is also common in televisions to place a black ribbon for the loss of VIP, massacre or something similar. --Jose piratilla (talk) 03:38, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Maybe it could be reworded including that, and then "...; for example, after the 11 March 2004 Madrid attacks, it was worn on clothing..." --FChurca (talk) 16:43, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Self Injury Awareness
Self-Injury Awareness Day is March 1st, not November 30th, and the colour is orange, not black. The mention of Nov 30th seems to stem from a Facebook campaign started up at the end of September and is not a nationally or internationally-recognised day.
