- I suppose this is indirectly a way to get answers here
but generally people wish to keep discussion all in one place, which is what these "talkback" notifications are for.
- If you want to get help here directly, you can add {{help me}} followed by a question and someone will come by. Anon126 (talk - contribs) 17:48, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, Anon126 and David. The problem with the article on beadwork is that modern mainstream beadwork has not reached the level of a peer reviewed science yet. There are a few journals and a quickly growing number of books, but as far as I know they concentrate on specific tutorials, patterns and techniques rather than on any overview like it would be nice to have on a wiki page. I believe to be fairly knowledgable in the field, I know a number of teachers but of no schools, other than a fairly ridiculous attempt to make money by conferring expensive but meaningless diplomas. I was apalled by the misrepresentation in the wikipedia article on beadwork and was hoping to find consent for my correction. Geometricjewels (talk) 21:22, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
