Citation style
This has just been tagged for an improper citation style, yet no comment was given. Just what's wrong with it? Andy Dingley (talk) 10:18, 2 June 2013 (UTC)


 * It had a harvnb being used inline, outside of a citation, which didn't even work properly. Upon closer inspection, that was the only citation of that type, so I've gone and fixed it. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 11:34, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Unintelligable
When reading this article I hoped to understand what ring spinning is. At the end I had no better idea than when I started. The syntax is fine, but the explanation does not make sense for someone who is new to this subject. Older forms of spinning are included but without any explanation of the difference between the mechanisms or their relationship to ring spinning. It would be useful to explain concepts rather than just referring to them. The article would benefit from some planning work, eg The concept of ring spinning, followed by explanations of the different mechanisms to implement the concept.

This sentence does not appear to make sense
"The wage cost per spindle is higher for ring spinning. In the states, where cotton staple was cheap, the additional labour costs of running mules could be absorbed,"

It needs to either say ring spinning or mule spinning costs more, but not both at either end of the sentence. I think mule spinning has always been more labour intensive and therefore costs more in wages, but will try to find a source. Anecdotally (information provided by Yorkshire Industrial Museums, mule spinning is still used to produce some high quality yarns but (see A critical review on recent developments and solutions in the high-speed ring spinning process - A Abdkader, M Hossain, 2023 (sagepub.com)(https://doi.org/10.1177/00405175231194793) ring spinning is now a low labour, continuous processes used to make all kinds of yarns. 2.26.85.209 (talk) 23:03, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
