Proposed merge of Jewellery of Tamil Nadu into Jewellery
Jewellery of Tamil Nadu currently is mostly a listing, which is unencyclopedic. Apart from that, the article is badly sourced. However, the text here could be suitable in Jewellery. If this is not the case, I am open to deletion. ~ Ase1este charge-paritytime 13:14, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks like this can merge per WP:SILENCE, but I am quite sure how to merge it. Help merging if you can. ~  Ase1este charge-paritytime 14:51, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose The last thing we want is that list here. Otherwise there's not much. I'd leave it, & hope for improvement. Or a merge to Culture of Tamil Nadu. Johnbod (talk) 16:00, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks like I somehow missed this message on my watchlist...
 * I will reply later. ~ Ase1este charge-paritytime 10:24, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Re-evaluating, it looks like merging into this article is not the best idea. It looks like merging will give a disproportional weight to that specific culture.
 * As for merging to Tamil Nadu, it also looks like this will give a disproportional weight to it.
 * I think I will simply withdraw this proposal then. ~ Aseleste charge-paritytime 20:19, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Africa was missing, and needs more examples
As Africa was missing from the continental overviews, I have just added this continent and placed the jewellery of the Berber countries in North Africa under Ancient Egypt. Obviously, there should be more African traditions of jewellery added, but I will have to leave this to more competent editors. Munfarid1 (talk) 17:16, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
