Talk:Infant bodysuit

January 2008
The link for this article in spanish redirects to "mameluco" (mamluk), so I remove it. --Kimbosirk (talk) 14:38, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Registered trademark
The subject of this article is an article of clothing, not a registered trademark. Per WP:Lead section the lead sentence should be a summary of the subject of the article for someone who knows nothing about it. I carefully worded the lead to summarize the subject of the article yet place importance on the fact that the name is a registered trademark that has come into use as a generic term in the U.S. (see List of generic and genericized trademarks for a list of more of these; "Onesie" is hardly the only one).

If users and  – both of whom have made no edits to Wikipedia outside of this article – are representatives of Gerber acting in an official capacity, I recommend contacting the Wikimedia Foundation directly. Their mailing address, telephone numbers, and email addresses may be found at Contact us. An alternative to this would be to move the article to "Infant bodysuit" or some other generic term and mention "Onesie" as a particular brand of "infant bodysuit."

 * After doing some additional reading and thinking it through further, I think a move to Infant bodysuit is the best course of action here. I will move and re-word when I have a chance. I have also added "Onesies" to List of generic and genericized trademarks, as it is (at least in my household) used generically in the same vein as "Crock-Pot", "Band-Aid", and "Scotch tape."

 * Done. An article titled "Onesies" would be appropriate if the article was about the brand name and its history (e.g., Band-Aid), but the article is about the garment in general and therefore should have a generic title. KuyaBriBri Talk 12:52, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The "count the google-hits" type of ref is fairly weak evidence. So I added a link to the WIPO decision regarding "onesites.net", in which the panel states "The term onesie is commonly used in the United States of America to designate a one-piece, t-shirt-like baby garment that has snaps at the crotch to keep it from riding up and exposing the babys tummy." rather than just that it is a trademarked term for such things.

Adult onesies
A onesie has recently become the standard word in British English for bodysuits for adults, see for instance and. Given that the English-language Wikipedia covers British English, too, this article either needs to be moved back to Onesie, or a new article about the adult piece of clothing needs to be created. --Twid (talk) 13:57, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Totally agree, especially as it has become a standard question to politicians, a bit like the 'boxers or briefs' one Cannonmc (talk) 15:23, 18 January 2013 (UTC)


 * OK, but which option is best? One article called onesie that covers both, or two separate articles? --Twid (talk) 23:19, 20 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I've now created a new article: Onesie (UK). --Twid (talk) 13:24, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
