Need help with making an entry for American Fashion Podcast

I previously created a page tracking all the episodes of American Fashion Podcast, but it was deleted "because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic." I spent several hours figuring out how to post and inputting all the information, so it was really frustrating to have it deleted. Most of what I compiled did get rebuilt as the Episodes List page on the AFP site.

That was several months ago, and the show is now up past 60 episodes with a ton of interviews with both famous designers and lesser known behind the scenes artists, entrepreneurs, and educators. There is now press coverage from Harper's Bazaar, Huffington Post, Bustle, American Manufacturing, and Put This On.

I'm admittedly not very good at editing Wikipedia, the complex syntax really throws me. I would like to get some help in putting it together again, but right this time. added by Fashiontechguru 9pm EST, 22 August 2015, updated 11:30am on 23 August 2015

Year in fashion articles

I watchlist some of the year in fashion articles. Over at least the past year, they keep popping up with frequent changes to date ranges, such as back-and-forth between Early 19x0s (19x0–19x2) and Early 19x0s (19x0–19x3) (same for mid and late). I looked around the project page and couldn't find any discussion on standardizing those ranges.

I don't think it's necessary for the headings in these articles to provide year ranges for these very general divisions which just reflect around what point in a decade something began/thrived/ended. Changes in fashion seldom comply with an arbitrary date. The date range implies a specificity that isn't supported by sources, and I don't think readers need it ("early 1960s" is sufficient). Anyway, I got annoyed at the senseless changes this morning and removed the year ranges from 1960s in fashion. Posting here for other editors' thoughts on it.

Greenhouse gas emissions misinformation

Dear fashion people - hello from WikiProject Climate change,

Are you an influential person or do you know one? I wrote to the UN a long time ago to ask them to change https://unece.org/forestry/press/un-alliance-aims-put-fashion-path-sustainability to correct the sentence which says “The fashion industry is highly greenhouse gas intensive, with estimated emissions ranging between 2 and 8 percent of the global total.” as this was debunked years ago by https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct3k55 (from 1 minute 20 secs to 3:56). But I am just an ordinary guy and they never replied. I just looked at Environmental impact of fashion#Greenhouse gas emissions and I see a hardworking student @Undercover Shadow is improving the article writing, so maybe now is a good time to fix it.

If any of you have the clout (pun intended) to get the UN to correct the web page that might help stop misinformation still going round in 2025, such as the 10% mentioned in https://www.economist.com/business/2025/02/27/the-business-of-second-hand-clothing-is-booming Chidgk1 (talk) 17:53, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
