[edit] My Edits

I rewrote the intro section to make the tone more suitable for Wikipedia. Because of this, I removed the "improve tone" tag. I also organized the page, including the "Pop Culture" section. I added a references section. If you have any problem with my edits, feel free to tweak what you like. More info and references are needed, so feel free to add them, just make sure the tone remains formal and the information is relevant to the page. Sherlock (talk) 20:45, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] MTV

The MTV section needs a rewrite; it's obviously written by someone who hates the show, the concept, and the channel.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.66.172.38 (talk • contribs)

I don't actually understand why this article covers the show at all. It has its own article we should point to instead. -- Siobhan Hansa 12:51, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How I see it

The uses of "sweet sixteen" in the article don't seem common here in the UK, though the phrase itself is well-heard-of. It's always sounded to me like an emphasis of the person's youthfulness. Is it used this way to any notable extent anywhere? -- Smjg 16:34, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The origins of the phrase, please

I would really like to know where and how - and, most importantly, WHEN - the expression itself originated. It's an essential piece of information, and it's missing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.142.107.56 (talk) 00:45, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
