Chaperon
An editor has taken it upon himself to rename what was Chaperon (headgear) to Chaperon (headwear) (a word I was previously unfamiliar with). Since all the other articles & categories I'm aware of use "headgear" I'd like to confirm this is the correct term before posting a page move request, which I will now have to do. No that's ok, I can move it back, which I've done. I will shortly merge Cappuccio into Chaperon btw - see talk page discussion. Johnbod 03:28, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Images on Fashion articles
If anyone can provide info as to what copyright licence to use on images sourced from magazines that were also made available via their internet site, it would be appreciated. Also requesting info on how to correctly state copyright on images from magazines now out-of print. Reference is article on Plus-size model. AntiVanity 00:02, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Eurocentrism
Greetings. Today's DYK led me to the 1100-1200 in Fashion article, and then the History of Fashion box found at the bottom of the page led me to a handful of other articles, titled things like "1300-1400 in Fashion," etc. My first comment is: These titles imply that they are discussing fashion in general, when they are in fact confined to European, and later Western fashion.

In fact, the History of Fashion box links mainly to articles covering the Western world only. Thus, I am concerned that this area of the fashion project needs to be expanded to encompass a world view as per WP:BIAS, since there is a lot of information lacking on, say, 14th century chinese dress.

For the record, I will admit that I am not exceedingly familiar with the work of the project, and haven't had a really close look -- so, perhaps I could be missing something. But at least on the surface, only Western-centric information is easily available.
