Talk:Nålebinding

The history section says this: "The oldest known samples of single-needle knitting include a found in Judea (6500 BCE), Danemark (4500 BCE)"

I'm going to disregard the lack of refs, and even the fact that the Judean item predates the Danish item by a full 2000 years, and not a year more or less, but at least decide already on what the Judean item actually is, and please write it in. "A" is just not enough! 67.206.184.51 (talk) 01:37, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Why 1024 variations?
The over/under bit says there are 1024 variations, which is obviously 2^10, suggesting an upper bound of 10 "stitches", this is surely arbitrary? It was not cited.

Different terms/abbreviations for eras
This article uses "AD", "CE", "BCE" and "ACE". Shouldn't it stick to one spelling? 81.173.178.66 (talk) 08:50, 9 October 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't even know what ACE is. I resolved the disparity for a consistent nomenclature.Skingski (talk) 16:57, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Synonyms
No one has ever really agreed on the English word, and the list of possibilities is somewhat long. However, using the Danish spelling as the main title is annoying to link to and not something any English speaker is going to be able to type easily. In addition, not listing any of the other languages in the "also" list means those who have heard of it as Nadelbinden (German) or Naalbinden (Dutch? or possibly anglified Dutch) do not find this article at all when searching. That is a problem. Perhaps a list of and/or history of names from different regions and times would be appropriate. Any ideas or opinions? Elriana (talk) 21:41, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Disciplinary specialists haven't managed to agree on an English name for this craft either with a native coinage or a loanword, despite decades of focused effort. It's difficult to see how WP editors can rectify this, although a battery of redirects could certainly make the article more easily locatable (assuming this hasn't already been implemented).
