Re Cleanup: what reason? This seems like a perfectly decent article. --Mashford 00:00, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

- The article's layout is cluttered, and it's not very well written. It is also lacking detail (ok, so that's not for cleanup), but it needs a lot of improvement. Maybe the copyedit tag would be better. — Wackymacs 20:16, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] AFDed article redirects here
Toupé now redirects here, as per its failed AFD. Johnleemk | Talk 12:45, 30 November 2005 (UTC) In a time when hygiene wasn't so good and natural hair often was infested with lice, perhaps shaving the head and wearing a wig was a way to defeat the vermin. Perhaps powdering not only improved the wig's cosmetic appearance, but also suffocated animals that may have taken up residence in it. Good wigs being expensive, wigs served, with other clothing to signal the wearer's social rank.
[edit] This article is messy
I'd like approval before trying to completely rewrite and reorganize this article. I would plan, of course, to retain all the information already in the article, but I'd like to add more and to reorganize the whole thing. I think this article could be much better.

[edit] haberdasher, hatter, milliner, what?
- haberdasher: one who deals in men's clothing (US) or in clothing trim (UK)
- hatter: one who deals in hats, especially men's hats
- milliner: one who deals in women's hats
Is there a word for one who deals in hairpieces? Or is that word taken? --Damian Yerrick (☎) 02:52, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WOW just WOW.
I feel like this page is an advertisement. In no way should there be links to the products. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 144.211.112.192 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Why no links to products?
If an expert on a topic is unable to benefit from his expertise then they consider it a waste of time to contribute. I agree that it would be a shame to fill Wiki with spam. If an expert on a topic is not allowed to link to products for sale that relate directly to the topic then how does this resourse get paid for? Time is money in this world. If that link to a product is proper, on topic and contributes to the value of the information then it should be there. If a topic is discussing a newly invented device then why not allow the inventor to post a link to their site where other's can buy it? I do feel that those not contributing should not post links to products. I did not see the product links but I would not blindly remove them without consideration of who and why they are put there.

[edit] How are wigs made?
The article should describe wig construction and its history. Unfortunately, I couldn't even begin to guess how they're made, so I can't help. -kslays 04:35, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wig Categories would be Helpful Too
The types of wigs available today would be useful information. I have been trying to find out what a "European Wig" is as opposed to other wigs available for purhcase.--Kg2007 20:50, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Disambiguation
WIG is an abbreviation of Wing In Ground-effect. A WIG boat can be seen as a crossover between a hovercraft and an aircraft. It flies just above the surface, usually the water surface. A WIG boat is especially designed to take advantage of the benefits of ground effect. Therefore it will always fly close to the surface. Although it is called ground effect, most WIG vehicles only operate over water. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.229.137.240 (talk) 10:54, 8 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Crossderessers
One of the most commen uses for wigs today is for crossdressers, maybe some more should be written on that?--Wiggstar69 15:13, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
