Explaining the 'creation' of the universe seemed innapropriate, so I changed it to beggining - Guest.


this says hang

  • An abrupt left turn, in Boston slang; the opposite of this, an abrupt right turn, is a hang

Hair trimmed...

Regarding this edit, and the removal of "the part of the hair overhanging the forehead. Also known as a "fringe" in British English". The reason I added it was to bring it into line with the Fringe article:

Fringe (hair), the part of the hair overhanging the forehead. Also known as "bangs" in American English

and the Bangs (hair) article itself:

Bangs, also known as a fringe

As per WP:BRD, I've started this here.

Both references are unnecessary for disambiguation. I.e., a person looking for "bangs" is not going to need to known that "fringe" is an alternate term for this and vice versa. The additional descriptions in both are unnecessary. olderwiser 15:15, 5 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Hm, why do you assume that? It would seem more likely to me that the opposite is true - a person who does not know what "bangs" are with regard to hair will logically know them by another name - ie "fringe" and vice versa. They will look them up because they don't know what they are.
WP:OTHERSTUFF notwithstanding, but other disambig pages (not least the Fringe disambig itself - as you note) include national variations in describing terms, Jumper for example - and I'm sure others would be just as easy to find. Chaheel Riens (talk) 15:31, 5 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
