Template talk:Lace types

message: I have made a lot of changes and additions to the list of lace types and I am open to suggestions to modify it further.  My basis for putting the Point Ground Bobbin laces after the Continental is that the Point Ground laces were "simplifications" (if you can believe it) of Mechlin in particular.  Very often, you have to see the mesh stitches to determine if a lace is Mechlin or Point Ground because the lacemakers and designers making Point Ground literally copied Mechlin designs.

This is great. The next step is to create the stubs for all of these! Most of the links, especially those that are also place-names need to be modified to go directly to the lace type, not the place, in those cases where a disambiguation page already exists we can an entry for the lace type. I'm going to get started on that! -- pcrtalk 06:40, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Indeed a lot of questions above. May be try to split them in separate sections, perhaps even on the relevant pages, so we can tackle them one by one. But at least I see we agree about getting rid of "ancient". Now a proper title for the combination. We can leave it a wanted page until someone comes with inspiration.

message: Hello Jo Pol
I've come back here in case IOLI get fed up with us! 
Embroidered seems more or less straight. Even Lorelei seems fairly happy with it!
I've done a little to (non bobbin) tape lace. I've added a Battenberg article (this used to be a redirect to Renaissance), and added some text, and pictures - general tidy, in fact. There seems to be a conflict as to whether Renaisssance is the name for the whole category or only one type. This is Pat Earnshaw v. The Lace Guild - both heavy-weights! So the article points out the conflict and gives references for each side. To tell the truth, I can't really get excited about this category - it was a hobby craze in the 19C. I think it's covered, apart from Mezzopunto and Romanian point. Earnshaw says Mezzopunto means all sorts of things apart from the tape lace, and quite frankly no-one seems particularly interested in it as a tape lace. I would be quite happy to get rid of it. I don't know anything about Romanian point, but it would be good to keep it as it is lace from somewhere else other than France, Flanders, England....
I've started on mesh grounds. I've tidied up some of the articles, added pictures when I could find them (out of copyright books, so picture quality not good, but they are there, and at least out of copyright!) and a couple of articles. There is no picture for Beveren lace. No-one seems very interested in that, either, but I found a Kantschool which talks about it a bit. The picture for Blonde lace shows a woman wearing it - very charming but short on details. But I can't find a picture in detail of the lace itself. There are two types of lace with no articles yet - I might do these some time. And there are the articles defining the groups, which I will think about.
There is something that I am not happy about. The article on Valenciennes lace has several pictures, which is good, but two of them are machine-made, which is not good. Can I remove them? Machine-made lace is not bobbin lace. --Joedkins (talk) 16:06, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Joedkins, You don't need to produce resume's of you changes. They are easy to follow via the 'related changes' links on the category page, the navigation template or project page. Jo Pol (talk) 18:54, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
