Talk:Beadwork

message: As Davis says, there is another wiki with information, but there are a 
lot of gaps in this Wikipedia article. I'd like to see it develop. I'm not a beading professional, but I do have more than a knowledge of the basics and would be happy to do anything I can. Should major contributions go in a Sandbox or just straight on the page? --Hikinghotsauce 22:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  where can I make a useful contribution 

message: http://www.create-jewelry.com has easy tutorials if you would like to learn the different beading techniques, as well as other methods for creating jewelry.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Desphynx (talk • contribs) 06:00, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I propose that European_beadwork be merged into this article because both articles are extremely small, and we could reasonably have sections about traditional beadwork from various specific countries in this article.  Evening Scribe (talk) 07:38, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merger, [[European_beadwork]] to [[Beadwork]]. 

message: Although the beadwork article could certainly use expansion, the proper way to do it is not by inserting an external link to a hobbyist website.  Nor is it appropriate to write up a promotional paragraph, attempting to source it to the same unreliable hobbyist website.  Beading enthusiasts who are interested in improving this article are welcome to cite the conventional books, magazines, and other traditional sources from which they gained their knowledge and skills.  Changing IP addresses and creating throwaway accounts to reinsert the same material, however, is more likely to cause this article to be protected from editing.  Please come there with the intention of improving encyclopedic content rather than your website's traffic. DurovaCharge! 19:43, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I believe that there is huge amount of work and substance to be carried under African Beadwork, can you consider carrying information around African Beadwork.This type of beadwork is generally always handmade, beautiful and very colourful.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sabermanjoo (talk • contribs) 18:27, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  African Beadwork 

message: In the second paragraph of the section headed "European Beadwork," the last sentence is lacking a date or narrow time period.  If anyone knows what it is, perhaps he or she could add that information.CorinneSD (talk) 21:20, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  European beadwork 

message: Does anyone have a citation to artifact dating and beadwork colour and style? There's a little about different Nations having different styles, which is correct. I wanted to add information about different colours having not only different significance but also being very handy to history. Thanks! Abesottedphoenix (talk) 01:51, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Native American beadwork 

message: In my sandbox User:Geometricjewels/sandbox, I have suggested a drastic change to the second paragraph on 3D bead weaving because that contains a few errors. Does anyone have opinions on that, please?

replies: text: I see that the existing section is totally devoid of references, as is your proposed replacement.  You need to provide references to published reliable sources.  Personal knowledge counts as original research, and is not acceptable as a basis for Wikipedia content.  If there are no published reliable sources to support it, that section should be removed from the article. --David Biddulph (talk) 18:08, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Second paragraph on 3D beadwork: suggested correction 

message: I clicked the source link (leading to an article titled "Faience Beads from Egypt"). Our section was copied and pasted word for word.
Not cool.
Also, the quote about Cherokee beadwork. I copied that entire quote into Google, no current website besides wikipedia exists with that wording. So where did someone get it from?
I'm not a beader or big into the beading scene, but these shoddy sources and editing are really getting on my nerves. --Cammy169 (talk) 14:52, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
