Talk:Jute

message: I partially fixed this sentence to remove the obvious redundancies and bad grammer, but it still needs work by someone who has a clue what it supposed to mean:
Old version:
"Traditionally jute was used in traditional textile machineries as textile fibers having cellulose (vegetable fiber content) and lignin (wood fiber content)."
Improved but still unclear version:
"Jute was used in traditional textile machinery as fibers having cellulose (vegetable fiber content) and lignin (wood fiber content)."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.96.210.230 (talk) 18:38, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  another oddly worded piece 

message: This needs fixing but I don't have the data to do so. The table from 2011 shows Bangladesh as the largest producer by quite a margin, then India below this, and everyone else insignificat. But the text above says India is the largest producer and Bangladesh's production is way down due to demand and burning of crops. One (table or text) must be wrong but I don't know which. Can someone with genuine knowledge on the subject fix this? MatthewCummins (talk) 06:54, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Since Jute is an overwhelmingly Asian crop, not North American, I consider this page should be converted from US English to International English. Any objections to my doing so? - MPF 20:08, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This proposal was completely inappropriate per WP:RETAIN. The article was originally written in American English (using the spelling "fiber), see: . Jute is an international subject, but there is no "International English"; British spellings are used in more countries where English is an official language, but that is not an argument to use British spelling for this subject. Per WP:ENGVAR, I've added an American English template to this talk page, as the article was first written in American English. Plantdrew (talk) 18:39, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

message: A new article on the history of Jute seems to have sprung fully-formed to life.  Not sure if this is a legitimate fork or not, but please consider merging as there is some evident redundancy. Just zis Guy you know? 14:01, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Wikipedia just keeps getting bigger and so do the pages in it. We don't need a whole PAGE of data on the history of jute within the Jute page.  As RJFJR says, we produce a small section of History (and put it near the end of the page because people DO often want to skip it), with a link.

message: These blinking/animated .GIFs are horrible.  In general I though Wikipedia uses animated .GIFs only where absolutely necessary for animation purposes.  Here the one is used to present a little slideshow alternating between a couple of plants and the other just flips between  labelling two picture elements.  In either case, the article would be much better served by static (.JPG or .PNG) images. NTK 20:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

text: All done, I used photoshop to make the appropriate changes to each one. for the top animated gif, I just cut it so the highlighted words for both are always solid. For the other gif, I tiled the three frames, one atop the other. If there are any suggestions, post here or on my Talk Page. Epheterson (talk) 22:13, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  BBC article on jute in Bangladesh 

message: Hey, I don't know how to do this on wikipedia, but I found that Jute in english and Yute in spanish is the same material, so this article should have a link in Languages to this article http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corchorus_capsularis and I saw that both articles have versions in different languages, so the languages Jute has an article in are more than what we see here.
Can someone edit this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.111.1.66 (talk) 13:25, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Lots of information- good looking page, but overall, just a bit like an advert for Bangladeshi jute.  Given that according to the table in it India produces more, I removed the unreferenced statement that the best source is the mostly Bangladeshi delta; it just added up wrong to me.

thread_title:  A bit over the top? 

message: it says in the intro "The primary source of the fiber is Corchorus olitorius, but such fiber is considered inferior to that derived from Corchorus capsularis." olitorius being tossa jute and capsularis being white jute. later under the tossa jute section it says that tossa jute is softer, silkier and stronger than white jute. this part however seems to have no citations. so how exactly is Tossa jute inferior to white jute?
