After looking through several sources at the bottom of the page, I can say that the sources are good. First of all, there are a lot of them! The sources were diverse and the links seem to work for the most part. The sources that I checked all support claims within the article itself and provide further information. I think that this article about the Burkini provides good evidence. Andhenne ( talk) 02:26, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
The events in France surrounding this garment are part of a wider historical context - that of the discussion over muslim dress in France in general (and potentially a similar issue regarding swimwear). Someone researching this garment in an academic context are likely to want to know how it's different stylings have affected it's usage. This story is now in multiple news outlets, and looks likely to cause further debate over both muslim dress and swimwear in France. Just because something is new does not mean that something is a recentism that must be removed. Given the level of coverage this story has been given already, and it's wider relevance, it does deserve a mention here. To insist on removing the detailing of hard facts based on the rational of 'recentism' alone to only allow it to be added in a identical form later (which would be appropriate, given the level of sourcing possible) is patently absurd. Please justify any further removal of this information is greater depth than such a simple statement as 'recenism' in future. LinaMishima ( talk) 23:35, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
There is no way to gage that until time has passed. I'm going to remove it from now because it is still a recentism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ExactOnly ( talk • contribs) 18:51, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Burqini → Burkini – While Zanetti herself seems to prefer the spelling "burqini", she uses both, and quick searches indicate that the spelling "burkini" is much more common: e.g., on Google News there are almost 100 times more hits for burkini. Eperoton ( talk) 21:10, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Would someone with access to the source by Heather Akou be able to provide more context about who said or wrote the quotes in this section? They don't sound very scholarly, so I think Akou may have been quoting others. Leangle30 ( talk) 05:12, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
Bans on burkinis is a very recent topic, so changes and additions to information written in the article under specific countries may be necessary. Please keep checking and verifying that the information is up to date. Georgeanderson121 ( talk) 09:26, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
