thread_title:  Wrong dating 

message: The article on Sibudu Cave states that the artifacts such as a bone needle and possible arrowhead are from 61,000 before present, while this article blithely quotes it as 61,000 before common era. Equivalent dates would be 61,000 BP and 59,000 BCE or 63,000 BP and 61,000 BCE. Which is it? I suspect it's a careless copying error from there to here but I don't know. Research is needed.

thread_title:  BP or BCE for earliest bone needle? 

message: Studley "was one of the earliest centres of the local industry of needlemaking . . . Though the centre of the industry has now shifted to Redditch, there are still two large needle-mills here and several smaller concerns which produce fishing tackle." (Victoria County History - Warwickshire: Volume 3, Barlichway Hundred Parishes: Studley Pages 175-187. There is a needle museum in Redditch. Vernon White . . . Talk  20:43, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

message: I added a section talking about the different parts of a sewing needle. I know there are more parts then what I mentioned, but those six parts are the main parts to know. I made some small correction to some spelling mistakes. Boo 135 (talk) 17:54, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Parts of a sewing needle 

message: Move all the needle articles (that is, Hypodermic needle, Sewing needle, Surgical needle, Tuohy needle, Trussing needle, Upholstery needle, and Acupuncture needle) into one "Needle" article. All these objects are related (they are all thin, metal objects) and are all considered "needles". A westman (talk) 15:17, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose These are discrete topics. A hypodermic needle is dramatically different from an upholstery needle. Readers looking for information about one or the other should not have to wade through off topic material that is of no immediate interest to them. Cullen328 (talk) 05:31, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

text: Oppose All of these are used for completely different things – the only similarity is in their approximate shape. As a side note, Upholstery needle is already a redirect to Sewing needle#Types of hand sewing needles, and Acupuncture needle doesn't have its own article either, it's a redirect to the fairly short section Acupuncture#Needles. Tollens (talk) 06:17, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

text: Oppose.  Each of those is a distinct topic, as explained in the opening sentences of the article or of the target of the redirect – except for Upholstery needle, which is already merged into Sewing needle.   Maproom (talk) 08:30, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
