Talk:Lord Kitchener Wants You

Denikin poster?
Anton Denikin was a soldier, there is no evidence tat he was an artist. The poster should remain, but its attribution to Denikin should be removed. Arrecife (talk) 16:22, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Gallery
I am enthusiastic about posters inspired by this one, do you think the gallery should be expanded?Arrecife (talk) 03:07, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Jacket: Wrong kind of court?
In the section "Development", the type of jacket Kitchener is wearing is linked to the article on "Court dress", even as specific as directing us to the Queen's Counsel section. But that article shows what is worn by barristers and judges. Surely Kitchener would not be dressed as a KC/QC/barrister? Shouldn't the link lead to "Court uniform and dress in the United Kingdom" instead, especially the older types of jacket such as the photo of the levée suit once worn by Charles Dickens, or perhaps even better the one from the Victoria and Albert Museum?

 * Sorry for replying to myself, but I just thought - why should it help to refer to any kind of court dress here? Isn't it more sensible to expect a military uniform? TooManyFingers (talk) 08:24, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree that it is the wrong link, in that it certainly shouldn't refer to dress in courts of law. The article on court dress in the UK would be better, but that article is nearly all taken up with details of the special outfits which civilians working at, or attending the royal court for specific occasions, needed to wear, and doesn't deal with the position for senior army or navy officers. On the whole, I'd think it best to drop the link altogether. Ponsonby100 (talk) 09:37, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I removed the link, but tried to save the (likely valid) point that the old-fashioned formality of his clothing was part of the overall effect. TooManyFingers (talk) 06:17, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
