[Chinese clothing]
An easy mistake indeed. But didn't you know Jimbo always cross-dresses for major occasions to underline the subversiveness of Wikipedia and as a shout-out to its many LBGT editors?
(But seriously, the Cheongsam article didn't make clear that it referred only to female garments. Time to go edit it...)
There are political overtones as well. Apparently this sort of clothing is not common in mainland China since the Cultural Revolution. Though places like Hong Kong and Taiwan presumably still use it. But this is getting off-topic. Back to Flagged Revisions.
What is the latest news?
