Original Title in catalan
editTitle changed to Chronology of bladed weapons: Title of original article in catalan (https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q11916205&oldid=31040745)--Mcapdevila (talk) 14:13, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
Arguments against the fusion with sword
editThat chronology it's a compilation that includes diverse and relatively uneven documents about different families of bladed weapons: swords, dress-swords, sabers, rapiers, foils, machetes, daggers, knives, arrowheads, etc..., with the sword references being the most numerous but not the unique among the other listed references of the rest of bladed weapons. The reason to group them into a single list responds to a goal for simplification.. instead of making a different chronology article for each type of bladed weapon.
- Some of the facts included.. not directly linked with sword
- 1146. Earliest clear references to naginata, which is not a sword
- 1540. "Pirotechnia", work of Vannoccio Biringuccio, armourer of Siena. Among other topics it deals with some iron mines and the reduction of the mass in a forge with bellows.
- 1742. "Dictionnaire Universel De Commerce", Jacques Savary des Bruslons, Philémon-Louis Savary. French name of the composite leaves with iron core and steel exterior ("lame de ettofe").[54]
- 1750. News about the "varnished iron" or "iron" mines of Mondragón.[55]
- 1760. Carlos III of Spain orders to Luis de Urbina, infantry colonel, a report on the bladed weapons factories of Toledo, Valencia, Zaragoza and Barcelona
- 1772. Rules for Californian presidios. Soldado de cuera. Cutting arms. Broad sword and lance characteristics
- At the time of this writing it's linked (called) as a sub-article from the history paragraph of the following articles
This can be thought of as layering inverted pyramids where the reader is first shown the lead section for a topic, and within its article any section may have a {{Main|<subpage name>}} hatnote or similar link to a full article about the subtopic summarized in that section. For example, Yosemite National Park#History and History of the Yosemite area are two such related featured articles. Thus, by navigational choices, several different types of readers each get the amount of details they want.--Mcapdevila (talk) 14:59, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
Samsamah Sword
editUnder the section on the Samsamah Sword, the reference to "Greek" does not refer to Greece, it refers to the Byzantine empire. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Droopyfeathers (talk • contribs) 20:07, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
- Yes you are right, but could you give an example of some greek of the today called "Byzantine empire" calling their state "Byzantine empire"?--Mcapdevila (talk) 16:17, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
