[edit] rudeness

67.166.42.66, my issue was not that you were trying to improve the article, but that you were both rude and removing important information. I can live with the wording, but I'm glad they've not made you an admin either. Chris 19:40, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] links

The top link doesn't come up dead for me, and the bottom link was originally spammed by someone, but it was discussed to leave it as it seems to grow into a forom for those interested. Chris 02:49, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Dead Link
The link theholderlady.com leads to a dead site. Please don't continue to reinsert it.

[edit] image deletion

I am again reverting deletions by Sean Black, and have asked him to explain on the talk page first why these are "simply unacceptable". Nothing is ever so "simple" as to warrant unexplained deletions. If, as he maintains "a free image to illustrate this article would be trivial to locate", then he should do so.

WP:FUC. Read it.--SB | T
The images you are adding are not covered under fair use on this article. The Breakfast at Tiffany's one has a fair use rationale for Breakfast at Tiffany's and nowhere else. The other: "However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article Tennessee Williams: To illustrate the person in question..."
If you haven't noticed, Cigarette holder is neither Breakfast at Tiffany's nor is it Tennessee Williams. Please don't re-add them. If you'd like to take an image yourself, feel free to upload it to commons and display it proudly on this page, free of legal complications. --Keitei (talk) 18:35, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

If it is fair use on Smoking Culture, then it should be fair use here, as they are both using it to show the sort of people who use cigarette holders. Franz-kafka 19:24, 28 April 2007 (UTC) Franz-kafka 21:47, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Or, more likely, it will be removed from both, thanks to you for drawing attention to that. :( Chris 23:48, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bad Link


Comes up with "forum removed...possible TOS violation".

[edit] Ad paragraph removal

Information, not advertising (or yellow advertising) please.

[edit] 1900's?

I would think that it would probably be more accurate to say mid-1910's, since public cigarette-smoking amongst ladies was not popular or condoned until after the Great War began(though some Edwardian socialites had smoked indoors.)--Anglius 21:35, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
Please feel free, that's the best cite I've heard. Chris 21:40, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
I thank you again.--Anglius 21:49, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links

65.80.185.206 16:34, 8 April 2007 (UTC)We've been over this, y'all. External links *of value* are an enrichment, not a detriment. The commercial site has some nifty information including history (if and when I can get some verification for some of it I'll add it to the article, actually) and the "fetish" site has some amazing period photographs. I think both are more than reasonably valuable.

[edit] equal time for the ladies

I am temporarily removing " actors Errol Flynn, Rudolph Valentino, Monty Woolley, Clark Gable, Laurence Harvey, Walter Pidgeon " from the text as it is becoming too male-centric. If anything, this is primarily a female phenomenon and the males are more the exception to the rule. If someone wants to compile a list of notables that smoke using holders, please do so.

[edit] list of ladies using holders

How about Mrs Hollis Murray (I forgot her first name)from the movie "Chinatown"? She smoked out of a cigarette holder in several scenes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.126.75.181 (talk) 21:50, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
