I'll begin proofreading for Japanese link

Please kindly note that I am roofreading Japanese link: https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=アンティーク・ジュエリー&oldid=56542424 (2015-8-17), based on https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Jewellery&oldid=674849557 (2015-08-06).

I guess the first translation into Japanese might be by https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Jewellery&oldid=79764674 (2006-10-06), while no indication in the headline sofar. --Omotecho (talk) 19:10, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Jewellery of Tamil Nadu into Jewellery

WITHDRAWN

The result is not merged as I have withdrawn this proposal. WP:MERGECLOSE allows for WP:involved closes. ~ Aseleste_{charge-parity}^time 20:26, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

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#Indian subcontinent. If this is not the case, I am open to deletion. ~ Ase1este_{charge-parity}^time 13:14, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like this can merge per WP:SILENCE, but I am quite sure how to merge it. Help merging if you can. ~ Ase1este_{charge-parity}^time 14:51, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Looks like I somehow missed this message on my watchlist...

I will reply later. ~ Ase1este_{charge-parity}^time 10:24, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnbod: 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-parity}^time 20:19, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
