replies: text: Okay, I think someone did this, but now it only talks about Manila Folders ("stiff piece of cardboard folded in half"), but shows a picture of a Manila Envelope. These are different things. Manila Folder should actually be a redirect to File Folder, and Manila Envelope should be in its own article. 69.95.232.207 (talk) 20:15, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

message: These are two separate things, but this article confuses them and tries to treat them as the same thing. A manila folder is a piece of manila cardboard, folded in half, but open on three sides, it's used as a File Folder. An envelope is a piece of manila paper folded and glued so that it is only open on one side, with a flap that can be used to close that side. Although neither of these may be notable enough on their own to deserve separate articles, they should at least be distinct in this article, or be subsections of two separate articles File Folder and Envelope. 69.95.232.207 (talk) 20:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I think this part of the last paragraph should be retyped, since it doesn't make any sense if you read the paragraph as a whole:

message: The section for dimensions only mentions the Maximum dimensions, not the standard or preferred dimensions, so seems to be updated with all the info.  I actually have this info at my work, so I will update. MarcoPolo419 (talk) 01:29, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why 

message: Hi folks. 
The history of manila paper and its envelopes/folders is deeply interwoven, as these were invented at approximately the same time (1830s).
As it stands, this one is currently more sourced and detailed.
It would be advantageous to add the information from manila paper to this article, then merge the two articles. After the merge, this article can be renamed 'Manila paper.' The result would be one article about the invention of manila paper, with a subsection about folders and envelopes.
Due to the relatively small content, a merge would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in Bar.
Please let me know if this is supported.
