[edit] Mirror Universe
The Goatee is very much iconic of the mirror universe, an element of Star Trek which has reached wide recognition. It is extremely likely that this information would be of interest to those researching Goatees who were not already aware of this fact. I therefore propose that a link to Mirror Universe does belong under See Also, and I'm going to go ahead and restore the link pending further discussion on this page.

[edit] This is becoming a vanity page
These pictures aren't necessary. I'm assuming in most cases, they're of the photographer themself. If no one objects in the next day or so, I'm a-gonna remove 'em.
A more idealized or archetypal example would be better, for example a line drawing, or even a very high quality studio photo. Most of these so called examples are scrawny or crooked, or not very common variants of a goatee. The goatee is a classic facial hair style that can look good, we need an image that reflects that.

It turns out the the image in the upper right corner (Art_dehoyos.jpg) doesn't even have a copyright tag so it will go away in a few days on it's own. If you want to improve the page consider making an account first, it's really easy. Also http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Goatee has a selection of potential source images to edit or use.

[edit] Trivia
A google search for grunge and goatee brings up 10,700 matches.--Mutley 03:59, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Indian-style goatee
The so-called 'indian-style goatee' is no more than a simple box beard, and should not be displayed on this page. --Tolken 11:49, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Entry phots not helpful
According to the entry, none of the photos featured on the page are true goatees! After reading the entry, I guess I still don't understand what a true goatee is. Is it *just* having hair on your chin (with no moustache)?

[edit] Cleanup
I've removed some photos whose only value were vanity, cleaned up the article a bit, removed some speculation and generally (I hope) improved the article. If anyone wants to tackle the task of finding some good off-line references that would probably be the next idead step. I'm sure there are some excellent books on the history of just about any facial hair style. -Harmil 15:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Links
The "Goatee.com" site is questionable at best. It's FAQ includes a lot of personal preferences presented as fact...not the least of which being that if you have a goatee, you should try to avoid doing business in Japan because you will be viewed as "barbaric". I think the link should go.
[edit] Dorus Rijkers: a great example of a goatee
Dorus Rijkers is a great example of an early goatee-carrier. -The Bold Guy- 12:09, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Evil Goatees?
Would it make sense to mention on this page that Goatees are often used to denote evil characters in certain types of fiction? To me, it seems like it's relevant enough to include on this page. However, I'm not really sure how to source this information, so I've refrained from adding it to the page for now. --Mediocre 20:01, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
