[edit] Attribution of authorship
The section on "How to handle rope" was originally written by User:210.48.17.238. It was merged into Rope from How to handle rope by Evil saltine. Just to let you know. -- Oliver P. 06:51, 8 Oct 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Cordage
This article is correct as far as it goes, but would be better titled by the more inclusive term cordage, which includes similar stranded objects such as twine, string, and thread. Or, perhaps, another article titled cordage should be produced. Too Old 00:23, 2005 Feb 12 (UTC)
[edit] Hawser
A hawser is a rope used for nautical purposes, specifically for mooring lines, regardless of thickness.
[edit] Request
I came here hoping to find a lead on what strength ratings are used to grade ropes - anyone got some material on that they could add? User:Adhib
- I'm planning to bring this article up to FA or at least GA status, and the materials I have accumulated so far include some information on that. Check back in the next few weeks. Mstroeck 16:49, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Plagiarism?
Some of the work in the "History" section seems to have been plagiarized; mainly the middle ages portion. The work in the wikipedia article is higly reminiscent to the work found on this website www.rope-maker.com(see third paragraph), which is well referenced by the way while the work here isn't. — Dorvaq (talk) 14:19, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
