I've done a little work on the article, but there's still work to be done. I may do more later. I work at a small specialty wire harness plant, and will attempt to take some pictures for the article later this week. ~ Wakanda's Black Panther! ( contribs) 01:43, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Nice one! The article still needs references. A clean up was definitely required. I believe it was originally translated from the German article. TINY MARK 01:50, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
I know. I've been looking for some references on Google, but I can't seem to find anything. Maybe I'll try some other search engines. On a side note, what do you think about merging that advantages list into the second paragraph? ~ Wakanda's Black Panther! ( contribs) 02:04, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
This is a good article, but it will be hard to add references. As a wire harness engineer, I do not disagree with anything written. I would like to see more detail about components used as well as pictures. It is difficult to do because each OEM has their own requirements and standard which we cannot reference here.

As a long-time electrical engineer who's designed and hand-assembled a few wire harnesses in person, I've noticed that the term "wiring loom" seems to be exclusively used by the automotive industry. As far as I'm concerned, it's a misnomer, because a loom is the machine on which a textile is woven, not the product of the machine. Moreover, wire harnesses are not made on a loom at all, because they don't lend themselves to weaving technology. I've added a footnote to that effect in the article. If we were to follow the tortured logic of the auto industry, we'd be wearing "clothing looms", or some such silliness. — Quicksilver T @ 16:35, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
"Cable harnesses are usually digitally according to geometric and electrical requirements"
Huh?

I've started to compile a comparison page as I could not find a single place that does this. /info/en/?search=Draft:Initial_list_-_very_incomplete This is my first Wikipedia edit so be kind
All the sources are WP:Linkspam except the Japanese source which is a link to a collection of links. It is not a reliable source. So, I removed them all and the article returns to referenced. Lest someone plead that spam links are the best we can do, that is not a good argument. At the very least there should be articles in trade journals that can serve as sources without being spam.
