Talk:Clothing swap

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 3 January 2022 and 18 March 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Emkajo0216 (article contribs). Peer reviewers: Juliettelm, Sherrysyc.

Swishing refers not only to clothes but can refer to other fashion accessories and is increasingly being used for non fashion items. So 'Clothing swap' is not the best choice with which to merge, in fact it would be incorrect to merge it with 'Clothing swap'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skingers (talk • contribs) 21:05, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Then this article could be renamed to something more appropriate. "Swishing" should be avoided as a neologism. Marasmusine (talk) 13:08, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

These links were from Swishing. As no useful prose was in that article, merely bulk quoting and advertising, I have redirected it to here. I invite interested editors to use these links to expand this article.

Article Additions

Hi! I just updated this article based on the work I did in my class at my university. The major edits were the additions of the motives and barriers as well as adding and subtracting to what was already there. I also added another image. Hope this helps others have a better understanding of clothing swaps. Thanks! Emkajo0216 (talk) 00:43, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
