Talk:Clothing in the ancient world

message: Someone suggested changing the title to include more than clothing, elsewhere there's "apparel". On second thoughts, in English "costume" can cover a lot of things thought it looks like a direct untranslation, it does fit. Personally I found this article by using the key word "clothing".

replies: text: I've done just that. (Hi, I'm the main translator.) Someone on the translation page suggested that the title be changed to 'Clothing in the ancient Mediterranean world.' Unfortunately I do not have sufficient privileges on Wikipedia to carry this out. --Heebiejeebieclub (talk) 20:13, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Suggestion for title

message: Here is a more appropriate title for this entry, or the contents of it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marvellousmartha (talk • contribs) 08:55, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It is better to expand the content here than to narrow to scope of the article. Furthermore, Egypt in not part of Europe.  10:45, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Egypt is part of the conglomerate of civilizations north of the Sahara desert (excluding Western Africa) and as far east as the Indus River that comprise the basic history education given to primary and secondary students in the anglosphere (and presumably throughout Europe), an academic subject that was until recent years merely referred to as "history" (now with the qualifier "history of western civilization"). Hence, it would be more accurate to re-title this article "Clothing in Ancient Western Civilization." Blacksun1942 (talk) 23:36, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  O.K. 

message: The entire ancient world consists of Egypt, Greek, and Rome? Come on people! Way more breadth needed, this is not even scratching the surface.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.15.166.46 (talk) 08:45, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  More cultures 

message: The inclusion of this article in the "Prehistoric technology" topic betrays a lack of understanding of what the words "prehistory" and "history" mean. Per Prehistory, Prehistory (meaning "before we had written records," from the Latin word for "before," præ) is the span of time before recorded history or the invention of writing systems. Prehistoric technology and the outline of prehistoric technology should give some better idea of what prehistoric technology actually is, and note this section.

replies: text:  User:Blacksun1942, can you explain? I've checked and I don't see any mentions of prehistoric technology on the page or the talk page other than this - maybe I am being uncommonly unobservant. (I would have removed them had I found them.) Mabalu (talk) 15:12, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  Oh, I see what you mean now! Obviously people can't tell the difference between ancient and prehistory, after a quick look through the template. Have to agree that I don't see that it's really appropriate for inclusion... Mabalu (talk) 15:16, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article's inclusion in "Prehistoric Technology" 

message: A new editor has inserted a MASSIVE load of text on Indian clothing in this article, a lot of which is completely unreferenced. It looks like it is copied from somewhere else, possibly even someone's personal essay or research paper. I've deleted everything that isn't "ancient" (basically everything that is not BCE/BC - this belongs in a separate article) as this is basically a whole new article (History of Indian clothing) in its own right (but MUST be referenced/sourced properly), and am going through the section making some outstanding basic copy edits/style tweaks.

replies: text: User:Mauryans: I hope you don't mind, I've transferred all your work over to History of Indian clothing and condensed what you added to this page into a summary. :) Mabalu (talk) 12:47, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Also hello, Bhargav.b.chauhan - you certainly seem to know your way around Wikipedia already. The text was transferred because it was overwhelming the rest of the article, which is for brief summaries and overviews. The depth of detail and information is appropriate for a new article, whilst I have heavily condensed the original text on this page to give a better balance. Mabalu (talk) 12:51, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks Mabalu for the appropriate move. But my point was just about the firstly contributions to the data of the article. Also I once again thank you for your move. Bhargav.b.chauhan (talk) 13:02, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
