:Due to lack of quality, the Origami tech tree page has been rewritten and expanded. If those of you who know a lot about origami could flesh out the needed links and add some pictures, that would be great. In addition, the page has been moved to Origami Techniques to maximize convenience. Ahudson Dec 2, 2005

message: The number about Sadako Sasaki is wrong. If you look at her specific page, you'll find she folded over 1,300 cranes, not ~600. 209.33.36.146 23:58, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I second that the information on Sadako should be updated to reflect that she infact folded more than 1,000 cranes before dying; unlike the popular story of her dying before completing the goal. Her wiki entry, and the organization founded to honor her (www.sadako.org) after her death both support her having folded more than 1,000. Phresno 02:43, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The word kami is used several times in this article. By context, I assume it means origami paper, but this is never stated. Also the entry for Kami is a disambiguation, which does not mention origami.

thread_title:  Archives 

message: A link to a website by Rick Nordal has been added to, and removed from, this article multiple times.  The website presents a "Snowflake" game based on origami.  The game involves pre-creasing, box pleating, and pinwheel bases.  Despite the game's name, it does not have any 6-fold symmetry snowflakes.  The website also has detailed directions for the waterbomb. The website uses very few standard origami terms.
Should the origami article have a link to this website?
Should a related article (perhaps one that discusses box pleating) have a link to this website?
I pose the questions in hopes that this mini-edit war can be resolved.  I do not presume to answer these questions, because I have a conflict of interest.  (One of the external links is to my website.)  -- Jasper 18:25, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What data have you got to back up your statements?  That seems rather like a personal opinion rather than a hard fact.  Until you can show that, I propose that should be on the list.  For example, let's say someone's doing a school project on origami and is trying to find out how many traditional models exist, or how many variants of the traditional crane there are.  As far as I know, there are practically no websites that can tell you that.  The Origami Database will at least give you an estimate.137.132.3.11 07:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You don't need data for this sort of thing; the Origami database just doesn't provide further information for the layman on the topic of origami. This sort of link might be a good thing on an article about origami diagrams or models, but it doesn't seem to provide any information on origami itself. see WP:EL.

thread_title:  Most Origami Cranes Made 

message: I have just thinned down the external links in this article as per WP:EL. I would like to remind any of you that might be upset of a couple of things:
* External links are meant to extend the content of an article. This means that websites like the Origami Database, while they are useful to those who practice origami, are not included because they do not give further information on the art of origami as a whole and are not useful unless a particular model is required.
* Also, I found that it saved a lot of space to link to a separate page with a set of links on it, rather than leave several links to other origami organizations and related pages.
I would like to note that I am open to any discussion, I just thought that there were far too many links for anybody to reasonably work with the article. Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! Ahudson 17:21, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have just repeated this process. I found that many of the links that I had previously deleted were simply added again; everybody please read WP:EL before posting links! They will most likely be deleted, unless they fit the criteria outlined there. Ahudson 23:34, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the origami video tutorials website for the following reasons: it uses non-standard diagrams; it has a lot of very high-bandwidth content that is therefore inacessible for many readers; it has almost no original information; and it uses scissors and other objects of origami-heresy.

thread_title:  Citations 

message: I have placed a couple of HTML comments in the code (in the technical folding and external links sections) for the article to warn Rick Nordal to stop link spamming. These comments are not visible unless someone edits the pages. Rick was blocked from editing Wikipedia last week because of his consistent linkspamming, but apparently the block was never made effective, even though an admin posted that it was going to take place. The comments are there to try to bring Rick into discussion about the article rather than constant addition of his link. I think he could probably contribute a lot to this article if he would enter discussion. Therefore, please leave the comments in place until the end of the month (January 2007). --Fenevad 15:34, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, the block was implemented, but it was only for 24 hours (that is pretty standard for a first time block of an IP). I have submitted  to WP:AIV again for another block request. -- Satori Son 16:13, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. I submitted both the user name and the IP. The IP was blocked for 24 hours, as you note, and the username (RIckNordal) was listed as being given an indefinite block, but for whatever reason that block didn't seem to be actually implemented. Sorry I wasn't clear. --Fenevad 16:37, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it looks like the indef block on  did go through as well. Don't forget, a blocked user is always able to edit their own user page (so they can appeal the block, if desired). Anyway, the underlying sockpuppet IP has now been blocked again, so I'll see you here in a couple days. ;-)  Satori Son 17:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: How odd. When I examine the block logs for Ricknordal, I don't see anything listed at all, but if you say it's been made, that's good enough for me. --Fenevad 17:32, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Also, I see above you have expressed a desire to discuss this with him.  It looks like he has made some comments to that effect on his user talk page, so you may wish to engage him there.  You're right, he might be a great contributor if we can turn him around, but this constant edit warring and ignoring consensus is obviously unacceptable behavior. -- Satori Son 17:25, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comments in code 

message: I know this sort of thing would generally want to be avoided, but would it be a ppropriate for this article to make a list of diagrams available online? There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of diagrams that are available; we could maybe select a hundred or so that are exemplary, fold them and upload pictures, and make an article. But would it be appropriate here, or on wikibooks, with a link to there from this article? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks! Ahudson 23:12, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed Extension 

message: I  know origami is the anchient art of paper folding and I love origami but to what extent is origami because ori means fold and gami means paper so paper folding but is say folding a paper in half considered origami please answer my question. [This question was posted by 70.180.133.92 at 15:29 on 4 April 2007.] 
The answer is yes, if you are creative enough about naming the model.  One could argue that there are two origami models even simpler than "folding a paper in half": 
* The simplest origami model is a tie between The Emperor's New Clothesand the  Level -1 Menger Sponge.
* The second simplest model is an unfolded sheet of paper; it can be a flying carpet, or an abstract representation of a leaf.
* "Folding a paper in half" can produce a one-fold stegosaurus, an abstract representation of a bird, or an A-frame house, depending on where the crease is made.
--Jasper
Origami is an art form and it should be regarded as an art form and not simply folding paper in half. Sure, there are pureland origami models such as the one-fold stegosaurus, but here the paper has a purpose to represent (abstractly) a stegosaurus. Merely folding the paper in half with no intentions is just a crease, but with an active imagination the crease arguably becomes "art".
--Origamikid 22:46, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just going through previous comments, and I noticed this discussion. I would simply point out that there is a significant group of people who do origami who do not particularly consider it an art. For them it is a craft. Whether we like that or not, origami is as much theirs as it is anyone else’s, so saying it should be regarded as an art form is not as easy a statement as it might sound. Perhaps more germane to the point however, is that there are those who are interested in the philosophy of origami, and who take the question of a single fold model seriously (e.g., Peter Engel), and those who are interested in stochastic art or serialism would strongly object to the idea that a random fold couldn’t be art. Anyway, interesting questions. -Fenevad (talk) 16:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Whether origami is an art or a craft varies from folder to folder. I myself consider it an art, and once can certainly consider it "paper sculpture", and sculpture is generally classified as art. Sure, some folders merely fold for fun, as a craft. Whichever it is, I think this topic is too overanalyzed! --Origamikid (talk) 19:41, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I just included a small section on animated origami. The British Origami Society also have a link to the animation on their home page. I hope the article and external link are okay?  I am new to editing Wikipedia and welcome any feedback as appropriate. Thanks...Derek Stancombe
Update: 
Please refer to my article on animated origami on BBC's H2G2 site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A25909905.  If the relevant peers think it would be suitable, I would be happy to provide a similar article for Wikipedia. Such an article could cover:
1. The historical development of animated origami 
2. How to animate origami models and diagrams
3. Using animation to showcase models.
4. Animated origami in digital media (e.g. film) 81.174.162.108 19:28, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Animated origami 

message: There needs to be a section somewhere on wikipedia on action origami; I don't know if this is what Derek is referring to as "animated origami", but there is little reference to the sort of "action" in Robert J. Lang's book Origami In Action. Origami doesn't fully comprise just still-lifes...--Origamikid 22:56, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Action Origami 

message: This genre of origami is growing in popularity.  Does it deserve a section? Alexbateman (talk) 11:42, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends on what you define "origami tesellation" as. Lang's Koi is described as "Tiling" in his book Origami Design Secrets. I am familiar with Chris Palmer's works, of which is one piece of paper, which can only truly be considered "tesselations". Lang's Koi is merely only an application of overlapping scales, as is with Eric Joisel's pangolin. Nick Robinson has a modular "arrow" tesselation and is an example of a modular tesselation.
I think that the mathematical concept is crucial to the construction of origami, so it would be suited for the category "Mathematics of Origami." Anyways, so much info about mathematical concepts has been made thru origami like the Haga theorem such that it may very well need its own article, if it doesn't already.--Origamikid (talk) 06:38, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey, just a PS, but I just read the "mathematics of origami" article and it really needs some expansion. We could really use an expansion of that article, and it would be a suitable place to put the topic of "origami tesselations." --Origamikid (talk) 19:47, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origami Tessellation 

message: What would be best for Wikipedia articles: the American term "origamist" or the chiefly British term "origamian"?
Should one term be used universally for all origami-related articles, or
should "origamist" be used for American folders and "origamian" be used for international folders?--Origamikid (talk) 07:18, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have a strong preference on this at all, although folder is probably more common in the circles I’ve been in than either of those terms and might be preferable as a non-region-specific term. Whatever is chosen should be used consistently and, at the first usage, should have a note explaining other terms. Something like “origamians (also known as origamists or folders)” I note that you use “origamian” yourself and since you seem to be about the only active editor now, feel free to put a stake in the sand and set which term you think it should be and update the article. My vote would be for folder, but I certainly wouldn't object to either one of the others. -Fenevad (talk) 14:08, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origamist or Origamian? 

message: This article on Torimoto seems to be a vanity article and has little competition towards notable folders like Robert J. Lang and John Montroll. Like Ahudson, it's been a year now since the article was posted, so it would be advisable to delete it.--Origamikid (talk) 08:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree entirely. Anything that smacks of a vanity article, unless there is something really notable in it that adds materially to this article should be taken out. Sort of like Rick Nordal's website link has been repeatedly pulled as a promo thing. Did you already remove it? I can't find the link under that name, so if it's still hiding in the article somewhere, go ahead and delete it.
-Fenevad (talk) 14:01, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't heard of Nordal's link being a problem of late. But I posted a tag for quick deletion on the Torimoto article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Origamikid (talk • contribs) 19:51, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

text: I simply misread the comment and thought you were talking about a link to an external article from this one. Regarding Nordal, he was last here in November. Every few months he reappears and puts his links back in thinking, I believe, that something will have changed and that everyone here will now think his Einstein's origami thing is OK. I've been pretty diligent about removing it. I really tried to engage him and get him to contribute to this article and justify linking to his site, but it didn't do any good... -Fenevad (talk) 12:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm concerned that some of the text put in recently may follow Rick Beech's Handbook too closely. I haven't his Handbook but I do have his Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Origami and I was looking uop the history there and found the firstsentence there was identical to the first statement here "Paperfolding originated in China around the 1st or 2nd century AD, and reached Japan in the 6th century". I'm afraid to look further. I'm considering whether to revert the whole recent rewrite to avoid any such problems but hope the twxt can be fixed up properly. Dmcq (talk) 17:17, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I hadn't actually been complaining about Rick Beech as a reliable source, it's just that another editor copied big chunks out verbatim rather than using their own words. The stuff that was inserted was removed but may have put some other stuff in based on him. If Rick Beech also plagiarizes it would be better to use where he got it from.

message: For this graphic, I created for the german Origami article, I still looking for a good translation (esp. 4 - 6). I'm not sure, whether terms like "duo patternd paper" are a good english. You can write your ideas directly in the wikimedia page. And maybe it's useful for the english article as well. Thanks and Greetings! --CellarDoor85 (talk) 07:02, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

message: I noticed that the section of this article labeled "in popular culture" mentions appearance of origami in House of Cards - and that's it. There is no mention of the multiple origami references in the movie Blade Runner.
I would have added this reference myself, but I do not have permission to do so.
As for the presence of these references -- if you doubt that, watch the movie. The character known as "Gaff" makes multiple origami figures during the course of the movie.
As for notability --- well, I think we all know Blade Runner is a cult classic. And the origami is a noticeable theme in the movie.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sophiashapira (talk • contribs) 03:59, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

message: "Traditional Chinese funeral practices were banned during the Cultural Revolution, so most of what we know about Chinese paperfolding comes from the modern-day continuation of these practices in Taiwan."
This is blatantly incorrect. I have lived in China for 4 years and been to graveyards on several occasions during the Qingming Festival, and there was paper money burned on a few of them. I don't know if it may have been banned at some point, but there is no source provided for the claim either. It has begun to fade out of practice, though, due to environmental consciousness.

replies: text: The book cited in that paragraph talked about such funeral practices being heavily discouraged in favor of cremation during the Cultural Revolution and the practice only surviving in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Were you actually in mainland China? Dmcq (talk) 13:49, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

message: I use the machine translation. Origami is the name of the specific art of Japan. This is not a common name of a shaped product made ​​of paper. Why do you mention in detail the history of the sculptures of Chinese paper that is different from the Origami? . Also, write the underlined is very unnatural.--121.113.194.81 (talk) 12:17, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

text: Plus there is no evidence for paper folding anywhere before the fifteenth century never mind the first century AD. Most of the stuff burn at funerals is papier-mâché rather than folded paper. Dmcq (talk) 23:04, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

text: In the USA (and in many other countries), the word "origami" is generally used for most folded designs, regardless of their culture of origin. Origamidesigner (talk) 23:40, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: How do you mean generally? I am in USA and as far as I can tell, it generally refers to something specific. Maybe that sentence should be removed. Wikipedia articles don't need to define what the word means today for select group of people. Itchyjunk (talk) 15:43, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

message: The distinction of "fine art" and "craft" is an odious one and counter to the spirt of paperfolding. It should be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.236.113.186 (talk) 13:05, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
