People with the last name hood are Irish Scottish and English and more

• So I see. Would it be helpful to have a one-liner by each entry in this page? --Martinship 09:41, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

isn't the headgear the primary definition for hood? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.160.47 (talk) 05:58, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

An additional kind of hood

A steel coil car owned by Norfolk Southern Railway. The load is covered by a hood

@GB fan: Hood (rail transport), covering over a flat wagon or coil car Peter Horn User talk 21:33, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

A rigid covering to protect a load. Peter Horn User talk 22:04, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

OK, but a DAB page must link to an existing (blue link) article that discusses the concept and when I reverted it was a red link. ~ GB fan 22:09, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Literature

Bkonrad removed "The maker of Bonnets and Hoods, a character in Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark" because "unambiguous". DL5MDA (talk) 17:30, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

What is the ambiguity? The character is not named "Hoods" and even the term itself is not unclear in context of the article what it refers to and within the context of the poem is a pretty minor detail, which would make adding an entry only for that item (rather than the character) a bit problematic. older ≠ wiser 18:13, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
