Does the main photo for this page really need to be of a mass murder?
That is the one photo you see when scrolling through Wikipedia's app search listing. I know that he is a well known person but there is a large selection of photos that could have been used instead. (Mukilman (talk) 21:57, 20 January 2016 (UTC))
 * You're absolutely right. It was added by a known vandal. I removed it. oknazevad (talk) 05:07, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

The reference "1990's Time Period in Fashion History" is a wrong.
The bowl cut did not go out of style in 1995 but was at it's absolute height of popularity at that time. It was worn all over pop culture from music to TV shows to movies. This style is also widely documented in photographs and video that were taken from that time. That website reference is just wrong.

Also I am not sure what is going on with the blank space on that one bullet point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mukilman (talk • contribs) 07:45, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Referencing FashionEncyclopedia.com
Hey, is it a good reference if it links to another encyclopedia? (http://www.fashionencyclopedia.com/fashion_costume_culture/Early-Cultures-Europe-in-the-Middle-Ages/Bowl-Haircut.html) I dont know much about good / bad sources, there must be a better one somewhere?

 * A good catch. This site is clearly "click farm" and I fail to quickly find who is the authority there. So In any case, it has a ref to a book
 * Payne, Blanche, Geitel Winakor, and Jane Farrell-Beck. The History of Costume. 2nd ed. New York: Harper Collins, 1992.
 * If someone can lay their hands on it, that'd be a good replacement of the ref. - üser:Altenmann >t 01:58, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Request merge
The result of the merge discussion is that the merge does not have consensus. PhilKnight (talk) 22:52, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

The page boy is a variant of bowl cut. In medieval times, pages wears bowl cut. --Panam2014 (talk) 09:34, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose A bob cut is really rather different to a bowl cut. There are passing similarities, but they are NOT really the same. Mabalu (talk) 15:37, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
 * the merge request is between Pageboy and Bowl cut. Not between bowl and bob. But another request is about variants of bob. --Panam2014 (talk) 15:52, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
 * and : the pageboy is the haircut wears by Joan of Arc which is also called bowl cut. --Panam2014 (talk) 21:04, 2 November 2016 (UTC)


 * oppose merge. very different haircuts. - üser:Altenmann >t 07:10, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

for Mireille Mathieu, it is a bowl not a pageboy. --Panam2014 (talk) 12:53, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * it s\says it "cut in a bowl shape around the face", which is not he same as bowl cut. Besides, girls were never ever cut in a bowl cut, with possible exception with modern idiottes, who can cut even fish tail on the head. - üser:Altenmann >t 15:11, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I have seen some girls with bowl cuts when I was growing up, although they were the exception rather than the norm. But I digress. I do get the sense that we aren't going to get a well-reasoned argument for the merge, partly because of a very obvious language barrier. Mabalu (talk) 17:25, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * ""cut in a bowl shape around the face" it mean that it is a bowl cut. Mireille Mathieu wears a bowl not a pageboy. The pageboy is the Joan of Arc's haircut and the Joan of Arc's haircut is a bowl. --Panam2014 (talk) 21:11, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * the bowl cut is around the whole head, nor face. - üser:Altenmann >t 06:48, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I'm done. Please do not involve me in this "discussion" any more. It is a waste of my time and energy. Mabalu (talk) 11:32, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
 * have you got a source ? For Mireille Mathieu, it is a metaphor. --Panam2014 (talk) 12:44, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Read the article. - üser:Altenmann >t 18:08, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Now a hate symbol

 * The bowl haircut is a hate symbol? Says WHO specifically?  If it is a "hate symbol", why is it popular in mainstream Hollywood, music and fashion circles in 2022?   69.63.43.165 (talk) 21:58, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
