Talk:File folder

Availability
"In the United States, file folders can easily be purchased at office supply stores."

Is "In the United States" really necessary? They are available almost anywhere in the World at office supply stores.

I have omitted that portion.

Well, I think it was really necessary. Looks like you're from Australia? So we know that they are easily available in the US, the UK and Australia. There is no way to buy them in Poland. Maybe I will make some myself... Trosmisiek (talk) 14:41, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Railex - history article
"In the UK, one of the oldest and best known filing companies is Railex" - Hi, I am a first time user so please excuse my ignorance. Railex is 100 years old next year and I would like to add an article on its history, however as I work for Railex there is an obvious conflict of interest. Would this be a worthy addition?

Yes, this would be a worthy addition. Please feel free to do so, but try not to make it sound like an advertisement. Jerodd 14:13, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Icons
What are the icons from the various OSs doing in an article barely related to them? --soum talk 07:23, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I see no reason to include the software icons in this article - which is exclusively about the paper / card folders. if no one argues otherwise, I shall delete the pictures in a couple of weeks Frank Walsh (1962) (talk) 14:28, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Acidicity and Archival qualities
Should be included on this.

I believe a manilla folder is around ph 5.5. I have, however, seen manilla used as a cheap binding material for leaflets. My understanding is because it's a strong paper like craft paper, it's a cheap way to make cardstock suitable for file folders. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.236.172.127 (talk) 20:38, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Consider that "file" is a verb.
The last paragraph in "Termonology" might be cleaned up if one recognizes "file" as a verb and "folder", certainly, as a noun. COnsider that the computer files are lined up in bits on a chip to be read by a processing program. Liberty5651 (talk) 21:14, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Sub-par sentence in lead
Files may also contain other things like magazines, cased in music CDs, etc. sometimes mostly not used for any official use, rather used as normal storage in a home.

I just fixed cd's to CDs, but it needs further work. &mdash; MaxEnt 21:39, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
