Talk:Evening glove

Untitled
Makes sense to merge this page with the opera glove page. But more to the point, an opera glove just refers to the legnth of any glove, really. So maybe the whole mess should just have a section in the glove page. Stachman 01:48, 13 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Evening and opera gloves both refer to the styles and length of a particular type of glove. They are far separate from driving gloves or boxing gloves, so I support the merge together (now, under which name?), but not into the main glove article. They are noteworthy enough and already have two separate good starts on articles. Chris 01:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

K, seriously, you should try to finish the article about the *gloves* before you start writing the article about the kink. I came here from the page on cigarette holders to find the lengths of opera, theater, dinner, and cocktail length gloves (that's what they mention on the other page that sent me here!) and instead of finding any kind of detailed information on gloves here (seriously, I learned most of this from the page on cigarette holders -.-) I find that some idiot has made about half of this article about his weird fetishes.

Fix please
The text "Queen Mary" is hotlinked to the article on Queen Mary I of England, who died in 1558and yet wore evening-gloves in the 1690s? I think MAYBE you can get away with referring to Mary II (the female half of WilliamAndMary) as "Queen Mary", as you're just leaving off the Roman numeral and people will today say such things as "Queen Elizabeth just announced" without thinking the "II" is mandatory. But just to play it safe I think you should put the "II" in there. Whether you do that or not, since this IS, beyond a doubt, Mary II, the linking of that text to an article on (allegedly "bloody") Mary THE FIRST who died long before the 1690s should be repaired. It is without a doubt wrong at this time (20 Sept 2013 8:30pm New York City time).69.86.65.12 (talk) 00:31, 21 September 2013 (UTC)Christopher L. Simpson

Glove ettiquette section
This reads like it was copied from some ettiquette manual, so there's kind of a sense of WP:NPOV issue here. YellowAries2010 (talk) 04:31, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Requested Edit: Incorrect Source
The section:
 * The mousquetaire is originally derived from the gauntlets worn by French musketeers of the 16th and 17th centuries, although, tongue-in-cheek, according to Ambrose Bierce in The Devil's Dictionary, 1911:
 * Mousquetaire, n. A long glove covering a part of the arm. Worn in New Jersey. But "mousquetaire" is a mighty poor way to spell muskeeter.

Should be removed. The source implies the name is tongue-in-cheek because it's a "poor way to spell musketeer". Yet 'mousquetaire' is quite literally the French form of musketeer, so it's very blatantly a case of the word deriving from the French and not being Anglicised. Essentially, it seems obvious that the source is just wrong. 2001:8003:1C20:8C00:1549:E44:6C4C:4768 (talk) 07:15, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Removed. Besides being possibly wrong, the source is The Devil's Dictionary which is a satirical work from 1906. Not a good source. -- Mvqr (talk) 11:17, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
