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://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jewellery&oldid=674849557 (2015-08-06).

I guess the first translation into Japanese might be by https://en.wikipedia.org/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)

Proposed merge of Jewellery of Tamil Nadu into Jewellery

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)

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)

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-parity}^time 10:24, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

@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)

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)

Masonic use of Jewelry?

The "Masonic" section seems out of place, and I think it should be removed or combined with the "Modern" section. The Freemason's use of Jewelry should not be given the same weight as "Modern" use of Jewelry and "Body Modification." Dekadoka (talk) 23:32, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

Move several images

... to Gallery of gold art and artefacts. I mean, just how many pictures of gold jewellery are appropriate for this article? --Smokefoot (talk) 17:11, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

Result: Delisted. splains (💬/📝) 07:39, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

After doing some digging, it turns out this article was listed as a GA and was removed by an editor who could not find the review. It was demoted from A-class to GA class, and now this article is in an extremely sorry state. Paragraphs of uncited sections, and this article definitely needs copyediting. Nothing more than a Start-class article. splains (💬/📝) 09:47, 22 July 2026 (UTC)

• Delist for the reasons given. Bgsu98 (Talk) 21:57, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
• Delist now. This is very sad given how integral this article is to humanity in general. It needs immediate attention. Wreaderick (talk) 07:54, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
• Delist. Entire paragraphs are uncited, and there is a {{Quantify}} template in "Most". A good article is supposed to be cited well and not have cleanup tags. Z. Patterson (talk) 03:39, 1 August 2026 (UTC)
• Delist. This was never properly a GA in the first place, and it just further proves my point that the "A-class" distinction is way too granular and should be deprecated (but that's a discussion for another time).

• Delist Nowhere near being an actual GA. I always thought A class was below GA,but maybe it wasn't in 2007 - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=100266907
