PederM ( talk) 20:33, 17 March 2014 (UTC) I can't be right that "Even earlier Stone Age finds, such as the excavations on the island of Öland at Alby, Sweden, reveal objects such as bone needle cases dating to 60,000 BC." I must be 6.000 BC.
The wikipedia article on Oland states "Archaeological evidence indicates the island of Öland was settled about 8000 BC" with a reference, so the entry here is clearly incorrect. I am removing the statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.81.81.84 ( talk) 18:35, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
The article on Sibudu Cave states that the artifacts such as a bone needle and possible arrowhead are from 61,000 before present, while this article blithely quotes it as 61,000 before common era. Equivalent dates would be 61,000 BP and 59,000 BCE or 63,000 BP and 61,000 BCE. Which is it? I suspect it's a careless copying error from there to here but I don't know. Research is needed.

Studley "was one of the earliest centres of the local industry of needlemaking . . . Though the centre of the industry has now shifted to Redditch, there are still two large needle-mills here and several smaller concerns which produce fishing tackle." ( Victoria County History - Warwickshire: Volume 3, Barlichway Hundred Parishes: Studley Pages 175-187. There is a needle museum in Redditch. Vernon White . . . Talk 20:43, 26 December 2014 (UTC) There's a little book on the Internet Archive, which may help in the development of this article: History and description of Needlemaking (1862) by Michael T Morrall - 42 pages Vernon White . . .

I added a section talking about the different parts of a sewing needle. I know there are more parts then what I mentioned, but those six parts are the main parts to know. I made some small correction to some spelling mistakes. Boo 135 ( talk) 17:54, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
Move all the needle articles (that is, Hypodermic needle, Sewing needle, Surgical needle, Tuohy needle, Trussing needle, Upholstery needle, and Acupuncture needle) into one "Needle" article. All these objects are related (they are all thin, metal objects) and are all considered "needles". A westman ( talk) 15:17, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
