Talk:Necklace

message: Hey! I added a disclaimer on the page because the work I did focuses on European necklaces, and doesn't really talk about any other kind - like Asian, African, South American, Indigenous peoples etc - so my professor suggested I mention that in the article. I tried to keep my comment fact based - the article really does focus mostly on European information - so hopefully it's okay!

replies: text: common problem with jewellery articles. More generally "barbarian groups" seems a bit judgmental. Could you clarify which groups you mean?©Geni (talk) 11:26, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

message: Out of all the examples you use to demonstrate a necklace you use an tribal member? Really makes no sense other than an attempt to try to make the article seem to have greater breadth than it does. A modern Western Jew or Christian with an associated religious icon would have been better. It is a significant part of the culture that actually reads Wikipedia and so would be a better reference point.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.30.225.46 (talk) 13:01, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Necklace's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "museum":
From Ukrainian culture: Ukrainian Museum Archives. Online exhibit on loan from the D.Dmytrykiw Ukrainian Ethnographic Research Collection, Library & Archives of Westlake, Ohio

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 13:59, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

message: (also mentioned in Talk:Choker#Unclear_definition_/_varies_with_source)
#Necklace_lengths conflicts with the own article of 2 of them:
Collar: “necklace that lies flat to the body [] and rests directly above the collar bone.”
Clear-cut and makes sense: flat means tight, and tight means no lower.
#Necklace_lengths: “About 30~33 centimetres (12~13 inch) long and sits high on the neck.”
Too loose to hold high on the neck. Near was probably the intent. But the article definition seems better.
Choker: “close-fitting necklace worn around the neck.”Vague, a pleonasm, and the images show very different things.“potential to hide the Adam's apple”Suggests near the top of the neck. #Necklace_lengths: “Close-fitting, short, 35~41 centimetres (14~16 in) long.”Specific and compatible, but…
* Intuitively, a choker should be the tightest length, the nearest to choking.
* The modern choker I know is a narrow, skin-tight, elastic, lightweight band that holds high on and to the neck.This is probably popular culture reinterpretation, that could have deserved a new name.
But then, maybe “collar/choker” and “collar/choker necklace” are different things?
After all, “necklace” alone seems to be used in opposition to those two specific variants to mean the usual (long) form.
