[edit] photo would benefit article
I created the article a few minutes ago. I think it could benefit from a picture, and I have one lined up. I'm waiting on a response from the photographer to get permission.

[edit] whole cloth
I intuit that "whole cloth" is the word I want to use in an essay, but I'm not sure so I go to wikipedia and the first article with that phrase is this one, with it in quotes, no less.
That tells me that "whole cloth" has some meaning, tho I'm not sure what. I think that "whole cloth" needs to be linked to an article on "whole cloth". However, I'm guessing that there is a style matter involved. Is it "whole cloth" or whole cloth or whole cloth with italics, bold, whatever?
Google reveals http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-who1.htm which says that originally it was "complete piece of cloth as it is first made" but evolved to include in the US the sense "wholly fabricated or a complete lie". (Be sure to note Michael Quinion's copyright.) Maybe the link should be to wiktonary? is that possible? But the evolution of the meaning sounds like it could be a nice essay.
