Talk:Rocking chair

message: The article stated previously, "It was quickly improved upon by various manufacturers and by the early 1800's was a common fixture in most well to do homes."
This statement is wrong on a number of points. First, there were no furniture "manufacturers" in the early 1800s. Factory-made furniture did not appear until the mid-1800s. Second, a rocking chair was not a high-end piece of furniture and it was popular amongst rural agrarian classes, not the upper classes. Rocking chairs first appeared in simple, modest forms, notably so-called birdcage rockers, which were modified birdcage windsor chairs. These were primarily used in kitchens. Third, the rocking chair did not really take on until the second and third quarters of the nineteenth century. For more information, see "American Windsor Furniture: Specialized Forms," by Nancy Goyne Evans. 
I have edited to correct this and other errors. 71.162.248.100 (talk) 03:31, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Incorrect statement

message: The existing section on types of rocking chair essentially lists some (but by no means all) types of chair that have rocker versions. Would it be better to concentrate on chair types that are rocker only (i.e. they don't have a non-rocker equivalent) or, instead, concentrate on the various rocker mechanisms, which aren't dealt with at all? Perhaps, also, the different means of attachment of simple curved rocker blades (e.g. mortice and tenon joint, dado/housing joint, simple lap joint, etc). 
I have a feeling that the article is majoring on US chairs when a wider, more encyclopedic approach would be helpful.
Also, much of the current content of this section doesn't cite any sources. For instance, Denker E. & B. (1979). The Rocking Chair Book. Mayflower Books, New York.

thread_title: Coat of arms of Alabama

message: I changed the image back because the official emblem of the USA is the seal. The shield is a part of the seal, but has to my knowledge no official use or status on its own. In addition I think the configuration with one image on each side at the top of the article looked nicer and it is more representative of the US heraldic tradition to show first a seal then an example of private heraldry.

message: Evidently this person was from Japan,  The article should say so.  Daimyo needs an explanation such as ruler, judge, or whatever.  Bizen and Mimasaka provinces and modern Okayama Prefecture still don’t tell us it’s Japan, or what part of the country, geographically.  What is the council of Five Elders, why is it important.  What sort of title or identification can be given to  Toyotomi Hideoyoshi; why did he have authority to appoint a council of elders?  After naming another person, he is a son of should have his name instead of just he.  Very brief summary of what and where is the battle of Sekigahara needed.  Who is Tokugawa leyasu, an enemy, a politician, a warlord, or?  Who captured him?  Why?  Location of Hachijo island.  Why it was a place of exile? 
Is there further  record of what Ukita Hideie did, his character or personality, other contributions to society, or why his being a daimyo or being in the battle of Sekigahara was important to Japan or to the politics or  geographical part of his country?

replies: text: Available records from the time being incomplete, the dates that have been given are likely to be those that the best-kept GWR records show: probably the accountant's asset register. Thus, the first date is probably either the delivery date or the date that it was taken into stock (these would also have been the year of construction, except for some of the January deliveries); the second will be the date either of replacement or withdrawal. Scrap dates were not often recorded, and could be some years after the actual withdrawal from traffic. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:22, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Strictly speaking, a seal is for authenticating documents, and a coat of arms is for identifying the affiliation or ownership of a person, organization or piece of property. In US use, a government seal often includes the corresponding coat of arms in its design, and the two may be used interchangeably. Ibadibam (talk) 22:48, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

It would make sense that Hoapili placed his father Kameʻeiamoku and his uncle Kamanawa on the coat of arms.

I cannot see that it is a proper usage here. Could the writer have meant "swing"? Or perhaps "woo"?
