Article Grading: The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit · refresh) Very comprehensive and well-refererenced; would probably pass a GA nom. Should have picture in lead, though, and a picture of a contemporary Commonwealth barrister or judge wearing them would be nice too. Daniel Case 15:57, 20 April 2007 (UTC) |

[edit] Move of "Bands"
I too considered moving it to "band" but looked it up the OED and found: "The development of a falling collar into a pair of strips (now called bands) hanging down in front, as part of a conventional dress, clerical, legal, or academical." This is true at least since the early 19th century. That is, the normal name for this particular type of band/neckwear is "bands". —Centrx→talk • 08:11, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] It should be Bands
Centrx is right. I checked my OED as well and it seems that the plural form is indeed the correct one. I noticed that user Centrx also did an edit to the introduction a while back to make the intro singular. Should we move it back to plural? Probably, I think. Should we try to make the article consistently use the correct form? Probably. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pjvpjv (talk • contribs) 12:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
