:: Agreed. One of the biggest challenges for Wikipedia is finding suitable images on acceptable licensing terms to illustrate concepts in articles. For this reason, the rules governing images are more relaxed than those for contributed text (except for copyright, which is strictly enforced.)

There is a request, submitted by Catfurball, for an audio version of this article to be created. For further information, see WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia. The rationale behind the request is: "Important". |
Semi-protected edit request on 12 November 2021
Near the bottom of the article, under "Etymology," we have:
"The name diamond is derived from the ancient Greek Ancient Greek: ἀδάμας (adámas), 'proper, unalterable, unbreakable, untamed'"
The first instance of "ancient Greek" (the one that is not a hyperlink) should be removed to avoid repetition. 93.41.2.30 (talk) 07:39, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Done. --Kent G. Budge (talk) 15:23, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
Image not in english
The image showcasing major diamond mining countries is in French and not in English, despite of being on the English version of the page. 117.194.52.236 (talk) 11:54, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Synthetic diamonds.

Exports treemap
The caption below the graph of exporting countries says: "Diamond exports by country (2014) from Harvard Atlas of Economic Complexity"
However when I click on this link I see totally different data, for instance 14.71% for the US instead of 5% on our image. I played with the settings (e.g., "Diamonds, industrial, unworked", "SITC rev.2 (1962-2020)", "Net" instead of "Gross", other years, etc.) but I couldn't generate an identical tree map.
Should we remove this image?
We could also replace it by the 2020 data but I'm not even sure the data makes sense for readers as the tree map seems to merge worked diamonds and unworked diamonds. a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 13:11, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
