Category:Reform dress and the 1890s bicycle suit

The 1890s "bicycle suit" or "bicycle dress" was worn only for riding a bicycle or limited other strenuous gymnastic/athletic activities (not including tennis). It was worn by vigorous young women who were feeling ever so slightly daring (since the bicycle suit was not for the ultra-conservative or the shy), but these women were not necessarily strong feminists, or supporters of dress reform in other areas. Probably some of them were in favor of greater female freedom of dress to some degree, but (unlike the "bloomers" of 1850) wearing a bicycle suit was not a strong personal feminist statement. Churchh (talk) 09:37, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Churchh,

Reform dress has not much to do with feminism. It was a health thing (like health food [1]), it had to do with being able to move without restraint, breathing normally. Skirts, sleeves and necks a little shorter. No corset, or a more relaxt reform corset. See also: [2]. Aiko (talk) 21:18, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Advocates of reform dress were by definition trying to change (reform) things, whether motivated by reasons of health, feminism, "aesthetic" artistic influences, or a combination of two or three of these. Women who wore bicycle suits weren't necessarily trying to change anything at all (though Jessie in File:Bicycle suit punch 1895.jpg is obviously an exception). Churchh (talk) 17:34, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Churchh, glad to see you back on my talk page.

Categorising is all about communication and helping users to find the right pictures and/or information. Categorising is not per se about finding the exact definition. Your motivation may be right from another point of view, but is it also right from the point of view of helpful categorisation? Aiko (talk) 17:48, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Aiko. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Aiko~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

This is already a sul account, please don't rename it. - Aiko (talk) 17:52, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

meme / internetmeme

Hallo Aiko,

Bedankt voor je commentaar op de uitspraak van 'internetmeme' Over jouw opmerking over internetmeme, het is een samenstelling van internet en meme. Een meme is een eenheid van culturele overdracht (van Dale 13de druk) zoals een gen een eenheid is van genetische overdracht. Ik gebruik het woord dagelijks' juist in die betekenis en dan is natuurlijk de combinatie van 'memen' en 'genen' wel leuk. in de van Dale wordt niet specifiek aangegeven dat het op de 'Engelse' manier moet worden uitgesproken, zij geven n.l. aan dat het afkomstig is van mimesis.

Dus voorlopig houd ik het maar op de Nederlandse uitspraak.

Marcel coenders (talk) 12:01, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Helder. Dank voor je reactie.

Vraagje. Wat doe je eigenlijk in situaties waar meerdere uitspraken goed zijn? - Aiko (talk) 12:45, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Je bedankje

Hallo Aiko, ik zag je bedankje. Altijd fijn natuurlijk, overkomt me op Commons niet zo vaak. Wat vond je leuk aan deze foto? Groet, Apdency (talk) 19:20, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Hoi Apdency, was het een foto van het Poortgebouw ("de roze augurk")? Ik word erg blij van mooie foto's van mijn stad en van al die mensen die de moeite nemen om eropuit te trekken om dit soort foto's te maken, voor Wikipedia. Ik wilde je hartelijk bedanken voor de erg goed gelukte foto's van dit nieuwe en bijzondere gebouw, dat zo ingeklemd staat in een overvol stukje stad. Groet, - Aiko (talk) 08:02, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Jazeker, daar was je bedankje van donderdag voor. Leuk om even over je motief te horen. En inderdaad, er stonden daar al gebouwen genoeg, maar kennelijk kon er nog wel wat bij. Die bijnaam kende ik trouwens nog niet. Apdency (talk) 08:21, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
