Talk:Apron

Masonic

How come there's no mention of Masonic aprons? That's how I came to the page! Froggo Zijgeb (talk) 15:02, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple issues

This article seems to lack neutrality, and has trouble backing some of its claims. I made a few changes to sentences that I felt were plain examples of editorializing or had other issues, but I trust the regular editors to have a better perspective for improving the page as a whole. --68.7.138.44 (talk) 01:17, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Poorly structured article

I just finished editing the American section and I have no energy left to go into this and other problems in organized detail, and I'm even dictating this post on my phone instead of typing this. I can't even put it off because I won't have the energy to come back here in all likelihood. But it's like a whole bunch of articles were just shoehorned in together and the tone and word choices in the section I worked on were often inappropriate and at times confused or confusing (e.g., subordination instead of subordinate or perhaps servant).

See my edit summary in the history of the main article for another 450 characters of observations. Not to say the article wasn't created with a lot of good faith, tons of it, but its current form just focus more on casual sources (including eBay & an online apron store, IIRC) and writing then encyclopedia-level ones from what I could tell before running away.

Somebody please change the third-level subheads of the American section as follows unless you spend the energy to thoroughly restructure the article first:

Aprons: [time period]
→ American aprons in the [time period]
OR, assuming that aprons is well enough implied, → In [time period] America

My reasoning is that we know this article's about aprons, absolutely, but we might not know we're in the American section of the article if we're skipping around looking for stuff. —Geekdiva (talk) 22:25, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bizarrely detailed history of American aprons

It seems a bit strange to have such detailed discussion of the history of aprons in America. Whilst I'm sure it's superbly interesting, is it necessary for an encyclopaedia to mention that “Husbands in the 1950s often sported bib aprons for barbecues on the weekends,often with written statements about Dad's grilling talents.” ?

Herbert Hoover

Hoover was President of the US 1929-1933 and Director of the US Food Administration in 1917-1918.

The notes on his section don’t match either the text or US history. Please remove it. E A (talk) 15:32, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
