[edit] older picture removed
I removed the older picture i hope the author didn't mind since i think (IMHO) this picture emphasis much better the article --Chmouel 02:48, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC) Yes i think so aswell. This should be merged with masks. From Josh Hill
[edit] identity mask picture added
I am going to add a picture to the mask article, as suggested by two other people already.[1]
What if this is used in an article about masks or ski masks? WhisperToMe 06:31, 28 July 2005 (UTC) It is a user photo, taken from the user's website. We can easily use this photo for the ski mask article. Keep. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 06:36, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] There could be external links
There has been some discussion (and confusion), for example, about what type of mask to use to protect against the avian flu virus. What works and what doesn't? 69.6.162.160 14:38, 10 May 2006 (UTC)Brian Pearson
- That wouldn't go in this article anyway. SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:10, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New Section Proposal
I'm going to begin looking into state legislations and create a new section specifically for State Legislation. When I get enough info regarding the mask laws in other states I'll create a new section for it. The section will include the State, laws, and conditions for the prosecution. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cadwal (talk • contribs).
- Personally, I'd say not here. Perhaps this could be an excellent new article, but in the more general article on masks, I wouldn't. Just a couple of examples to verify the point is about all we need at this location. SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:54, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

- We should either have all or none. If we're going to indicate one incident of a man being arrested for violating a Virginia Statute, then every state should be indicated. Because its complete idiocy that we indicate one, but not the rest.

- You do realize that you removed the legislation points 876.12 through 876.155. Which indicate all places a mask may be pursued (876.12-876.15)and what circumstances must be met (876.115). Cadwal 05:25, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

- You realize I'm not specifically against listing state laws regarding the wearing of masks. I just don't think that this general-information article is the place for it. For instance, we have a general-information article called Fire drill. Then we have a well-referenced spinoff article called List of fire drill regulations. We could easily do that here as well. We could have Mask with general information, and then a separate article called List of laws concerning masks, or something along those lines. For the general-info article, the one example is fine as a "for instance". You want to get into more detail about specific laws, great. Let's create a separate article. I'll even help out with it. Just not on the main Mask article. SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:47, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

- I know you're not against listing laws regarding the wearing of masks. I just don't think that one small incident should be noted because of one guy's decision not follow the state statute (which is entirely blown out of proportion). I actually looked at the state statute to see why the guy would be arrested, and that state strictly prohibits the wearing of masks at all times unless it is for holiday celebrations, for medical conditions, on-the-job protection, or actually participating in a theatrical production or ball. But if it gets that one incident off of the main page, I'll start pulling up statutes from different states tonight to start a new page as soon as possible. I'll admit that the statute may need to be rewritten since it was originally created to prevent the KKK and similar hate organizations from gathering, but I can't support one state being favored over any other.

[edit] Ceremonial and Ritual Uses
I wouldn't be qualified to write them, but I'm surprised by the absence of information on ceremonial or ritual masks (like the one in the image) and theatrical masks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.229.134.171 (talk • contribs).
- That is what I came here for as well. Sunshaker--72.140.175.249 04:48, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

- There was a section on African ceremonial and ritual uses, but it was in a separate article. The two articles have since been merged - HammerHeadHuman (talk) 17:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Popular Culture References?
Should this section be added, or would the list be way to long. Two examples off the top of my head are "Phantom of the Opera" and "Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" with links to the corresponding references? Megadecimal, 9 March 2007
[edit] Wikification
I've began to improve the layout, referencing and content of this page, and would be grateful for comments. There's still much to be done including adding sections on other regional Ritual Masks. Bob 19:12, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- The {{todo}} template should stay permanently so others can add their thoughts; also, there is always something that can be added or worked on to improve articles. Items within the list can be edited or removed by simply clicking the edit link in the actual todo list. I have re-added the todo list, and removed all but one of the entries. - HammerHeadHuman (talk)(work) 17:42, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for that HHH - I didn't understand the protocol.Bob 19:08, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] References
This article is getting tremendously better than it has ever been in the past, however, without page numbers and more specific references (the title and author has been included, but also included should be the publisher, year, and ISBN) this article is not going to get very far on a quality scale. If whomever added these references could get a little more specific I think there is a good chance that this article could be elevated to A or B, perhaps even GA status... - HammerHeadHuman (talk)(work) 16:15, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
