The Romanised Gaulish historian Tacitus describes the hair of the germanic peoples (Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Franks, Danes, et cetera) as being 'Rutilo' meaning Auburn in latin. I think this is noteworthy and so have added it. 84.64.252.12 11:18, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
My paternal grandfather (1863-1928) was born in West Prussia (now part of Poland) and was said to have auburn hair. Is this an indicator that he had an ancestor of the Germanic tribes? Musicwriter 03:42, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Why is the page linked to a Google image result for a 'Fire elf'? It doesn't mention vivid auburn at all, and has a fairly bad drawing, rather than a photo etc. Just found out it's a straight copy and paste, including link from http://www.answers.com/topic/auburn Stuart McN 19:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Is the picture of the girl reading the book with her feet in the camera really necessary? I think somebody should crop the picture or remove it. Beardownaz9 20:56, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
hiya, i don't really understand what the problem with the image is. what do her feet or her nose or her shirt have to do with the fact that she has auburn hair? confused on this i must confess. 69.118.244.33 02:31, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
I just think the picture would be better if you cropped it to remove her feet it takes up much of the picture and is a distraction,also I never mentioned her nose or shirt but if her nose took up much of the picture I think it would be better cropped. Beardownaz9 22:27, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Would be a better image? It's me, would my hair be auburn enough? Kuronue | Talk 17:13, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Tawny corresponds to the italian color fulvo. To be auburn, maybe is necessary to show the "rutilance", the golden shine that can be seen only in open air, behind the direct light of the sun. -- 213.140.19.113 17:06, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Image:Afroboy.JPG Would this be better? I'm open to suggestions, I'm just going through my own personal photo album on this computer. I also have http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o198/bay_032/Pics%20of%20me/fb99.jpg Kuronue | Talk 06:41, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Both this article and the blond hair article use the picture of Isabella I of Spain. Obviously, she can't have had both naturally blond and auburn hair. So something ain't right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.252.233.120 ( talk) 13:47, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
"The first recorded use of auburn in English was in 1430." A fact so important it had to be repeated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.146.175.64 ( talk) 19:40, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
To clarify too much use of what seems to be "hair-dye-box definitions" as references ... The etymology of auburn clearly suggests a light-redish-brown color. While chestnut is a dark-redish-brown. Any further parsing of the shades, such as "maroon" or "burgandy", should be limited to tertiary references, as they are variations of these shades (if not exclusively manufactured in origin). Unless I'm missing something ... 70.15.11.44 ( talk) 09:05, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
The color infobox in this article is not internally consistent, showing values for three or four different colors:

This photo looks like a picture of a mannequin. Is it really a person? Whatever it is it's just awful. The subject somehow doesn't look human. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.119.151.233 ( talk) 03:58, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Her hair is neither "auburn", nor red or... whatever. She dyed it. That's so fucking obvious.
