Wearing to spread lice?[edit]

Currently the article reads "When people wore wigs, the nightcap became quite popular, as wearers usually had little or no hair and lice assembled in the wig." which implies that the nightcap became popular due to its ability to house lice. I somehow doubt this was the case. 72.35.97.205 (talk) 16:05, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone why they are really long (at least in movies)[edit]

The Night cap that you are refering to is an Elf Night Cap, and used primarily in very cold areas. The addition to the top, usually accompanied by a small ball of some sort, was used similar to the use of a scarf. It kept the neck warm while not being so long that it could wrap aroudn and choke the person wearing it while they were sleeping. Most night caps currently in production have no long addition to them and are mainly used to cover the head for people dealing with hairloss for various reasons.

"dealing with" hair loss - the choice of words is indicative of a personal problem / hang-up, rather than a factual statement. Most hair loss is a normal part of human (male) development. One might as well refer to clothes being for people "dealing with" lack of fur growth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.167.19.166 (talk) 11:56, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Nightcap (headgear)[edit]

These two articles refer to the same article of clothing. They should be merged. Neelix (talk) 17:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think they are different articles of clothing, but both entries are so small that merging them and explaining the difference on one page would probably be beneficial. Thus, I am for merging it. --Elysianfields (talk) 08:24, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The following is reduced in size -- to lessen its distractive effect -- since it might for some ~~time~~ readers interfere with the primary goals of WP,; on the other hand, amusement does have value to the project: the talk pages are often amusing, lightening our respective moods, relieving occasional boredom, and reminding us of some of the many levels at which our work is rewarding.
