message: Many of the listings here are duplicate names for the same knot.  Shouldn't we mark this somehow?  For instance:
* reef knot
Some time later:
* square knot -> reef knot

replies: text: Agreed - it would be very useful to cross-reference here (I'd imagine that each article does the same) as it can save time when checking what's what. One a day? Regards, --Technopat (talk) 16:58, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I seem to recall, from my days of macrame, a knot called the "Josephine," but can find no reference to it. If anyone can find information and documentation on such a knot and post it, this would be helpful. EnglishHornDude EnglishHornDude (talk) 23:35, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "Josephine knot" is an alternate name for the Carrick bend.  There are so many alternate names for the Carrick bend, not all of them have redirects or links in this list. --Dfred (talk) 16:15, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Josephine knot 

message: Somewhat off topic, but here goes nothing... I'm currently writing/editing some articles regarding knots in several language versions of Wikipedia, but sometimes find it hard to tie my writings together, inter-wiki wise... Most printed dictionaries only include rather a few names of knots, and only give a translation in two languages. I've had no luck finding the information on the Internet, either. If any of you fellow Wikipedians can share a link to an online-dictionary specialized in knots and ropewalks and such, it would be of great help! I know it's a slightly weird request, but there's dictionaries for most any field of work on the 'Net, so why not knots... :) For obvious reasons I'm mainly interested in translations between languages I speak myself, i.e. English, Swedish, German and Danish. Thanks! –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 22:23, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

   Someone may want to put that under 'List of ......" area.

replies: text: there is a category of "wet knots" that should perhaps be added. Not a subject I know anything about, but seems to be common among fishermen. 67.243.29.174 (talk) 16:35, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

message: I suggest that each knot's picture be included in this page. I personally implemented the grid style on List_of_hitch_knots, and think the page is better because of it. However, List_of_knots is much more crowded, which may create an unreadable document. Any feedback would be appreciated. WikiTryHardDieHard (talk) 20:19, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Pictures

message: Tension tightening device, used by the military in constructing "hasty" rope bridges, will not tighten upon itself.
Wrap 4 coils around one hand, maintain and remove coils.  Pass what was the outer two coils through the inner two.  Then pass what is now the outer two back through the inner two.  Maintaining grasp on those two coils tighten with standing ends, adjusting as necessary.
That rope may be anchored and another passed through the remaining two loose coils and pulled upon by 10 grunts to tension, and still be easily removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.133.109.153 (talk) 17:58, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
