[edit] Baby Gays

"Baby Gays?" Is this vandalism or the odd truth? ---Ransom (--208.25.0.2 23:17, 4 May 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Merger

I've proposed this article to beq tips are whack son as they are about the exact same Item just with a different name. This can easily be seen if there are no complaints when i have time i shall merge the two articles myself. -- danieljackson (tlk) (cntrbtns) 06:10, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Merge: As long as the title remains as cotton swab. ◄§ĉҺɑʀκs► 04:54, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger conclusion

The merge shall proceed and I shall keep the articles name cotton swab,as that is its true name and q-tip is only a nickname and generized brand name to begin with. I'll begin as soon as I possibly can.

[edit] Merger Finished

I've completed the merger and added the redirect from q-tips article now to the task of expanding the information on this entire page thier is so much info about the history left out i'm in the process of hunting down information for this article if anyone comes up with a website or book that might help me out leave it in my talk page.

[edit] Cotton Buds

Although in the UK some people say cotton buds, a lot of people call them Q-Tips. Bilky asko 16:57, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I have no heard the phrase used once. --Fredrick day 21:16, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Etymology?

What is the origin of the word "Q-tip"? ObentoMusubi (Contribs) 04:46, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Never, mind, I found it. Apparently, it means "Quality tips". ObentoMusubi (Contribs) 04:48, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

I'm new to wikipedia but just wanted to draw the attention of someone to the fact the page has been vandalised in at least two places (immediately following the words "British English" and then again in the description of what cottons swabs are made of). U02clw3 (talk) 23:04, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello, U02clw3, and thank you for pointing it out. The nonsense has been removed now, and the previous version was restored (see here). If you like, you can "undo" this kind of vandalizing edit yourself, should you encounter it again in the future. See Wikipedia:Vandalism for more information. ---Sluzzelin talk 00:43, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
