Support The present Textile industry article is a rather poor one. This is quite comprehensive, but there may be something in the other that could usefully be added to this one. There is also a wider-ranging article Textiles, which should remain. Peterkingiron 22:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
I see this article as more of how textiles are actually made, while textile industry has the possiblity of talking more about how the industry has changed over time, what it entails, and less on the how the actual manufacture of textiles is done. Loggie 22:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

It is good to have a good general article and that is what this must become. It is has a good title. The textile processing article cannot be saved. It contains material paraphrased from its reference site that is written in broken English. It does not cover textile processing in anything but a technical sense- ie the processes between weaving and fabrication. It was a brave attempt by a newby. So Lets look in more detail at this article which needs to be the introduction to 4 groups of industrial processes on four/three classes of fibres.
The lead starts well:
“ | Textile manufacturing is one of the oldest human industries. The oldest known textiles date back to about 5000 B.C. In order to make textiles, the first requirement is a source of fiber from which a yarn can be made, primarily by spinning. The yarn is processed by knitting or weaving, which turns yarn into cloth. The machine used for weaving is the loom. For decoration, the process of coloring yarn or the finished material is dyeing.
Typical textile processing includes 4 stages: yarn formation, fabric formation, wet processing, and fabrication. |
” |
The next paragraph is crucial and confused. The lead sums up the intention of the article so this must be done right. It says:
Should it say:
That being established we have the framework for the article. It is not what we see below.
Contents
* 1 Hand processing: yarn formation o 1.1 Wool o 1.2 Flax * 2 Machine Processing: yarn formation o 2.1 Cotton + 2.1.1 Cotton Gin + 2.1.2 Picking + 2.1.3 Carding + 2.1.4 Combining the Slivers + 2.1.5 Spinning + 2.1.6 Plying o 2.2 Yucca + 2.2.1 Leaf to Rolag * 3 Hand Processing- Fabric Formation o 3.1 Knitting o 3.2 Crochet o 3.3 Lace o 3.4 Weaving + 3.4.1 Loom + 3.4.2 Process * 4 Machine processing: fabric formation o 4.1 Knitting o 4.2 Lace o 4.3 Weaving * 5 Decoration o 5.1 Dyeing o 5.2 Bleaching o 5.3 Embroidery * 6 See also * 7 External links
Firstly we declutter- by removing manual processes and build a second article. Textiles (manual methods)
But the problems don't stop there. Look at cotton 2.1.1: picking carding etc are processes as they should be, but a Cotton Gin is a machine. I am mocking up a page on Cotton manufacturing, where I have used some of the data from this page and verified it by finding references. Its headings are
Even in just concentrating on cotton: I have learnt:
I am missing chunks on wet processes, and fabrication- as I said it is a draft.
I would suggest that the framework we need to be use. Could be:
Nobodys work has been disregarded- just redirected. At every spot we leave links to existing articles and provide references. History is deliberately separated from this article which is about process.I still have to integrate statistical tables showing volume of production and provide links for events that have a strong causal link to mechanised fabric production: Cotton famine, Slavery, Child labour apprentice houses.
Then we cut and paste the following ito the new article Textiles (manual methods)
o 1.1 Wool o 1.2 Flax o 2.2 Yucca + 2.2.1 Leaf to Rolag
o 3.1 Knitting o 3.2 Crochet o 3.3 Lace o 3.4 Weaving + 3.4.1 Loom + 3.4.2 Process

I fully support your proposal. I would suggest that you continue doing this in your sandbox (as for Cotton). I just wonder whether there may be a better title for your 1750-1850 article, perhaps History of textile manufacturing in mills. My reason for saying this is that industrialisation did not happen all at once: it was a gradual process, with weaving continuing to be largely manual into the 19th century, whereas cotton spinning rapidly industrialised in the 1780s, followed by flax and worsted from the 1790s. Some sections may need to be shortened with the detail forked off into separate articles. It may be useful to retain the present article (though much abbreviated) as a parent to them all, providing a general overview of the whole subject, but it will be necessary to defend this against those who will seek to add detail to it that does not belong.

According to the Standard Specifications Performance it is impossible to achieve 100% specification conformance as human error can greatly affect the specifications of custom orders such as:
In such specific requirements these percentages of error can be as much as 15 - 18%. This is deemed to be acceptable in the fabric and textile manufacturing industry. The set textile standards provide the specifications and test methods for the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of textiles, fabrics, and cloths, as well as the natural and artificial fibers that constitute them. The textiles covered by these standards are commonly formed by weaving, knitting, or spinning together fibers such as glass fiber strands, wool and other animal fibers, cotton and other plant-derived fibers, yarn, sewing threads, and mohair, to name a few. These textile standards help fabric and cloth designers and manufacturers in testing textiles to ensure acceptable characteristics towards proper end-use.

Looking at the lead section of textile manufacturing
Textile manufacturing is a major industry. It is based on the conversion of three types of fibre into yarn, then fabric, then textiles. These are then fabricated into clothes or other artefacts.
and textile industry
The textile industry or apparel industry is primarily concerned with the production of yarn, and cloth and the subsequent design or manufacture of clothing and their distribution. The raw material may be natural, or synthetic using products of the chemical industry.
the two sound quite the same.
Looking at the section
textile industry#The industrial processes one can see the intention that
textile manufacturing should be more about the production process, but this is not reflected in the lead section text.

I would say the content of the article is solid, however the structuring and syntax needs some work.
For example, in the first sentence it should read: Textile manufacturing is a major industry based in the processing of fiber into fabric. There are more instances throughout the article I think could use better wording such as this.
I also think that the title of the article maybe a little misleading based on the information you have provided. This page seems to lead into the textile engineering page and could potentially be combined with said page. Many items discussed here fit into the engineering article and I think either a change in direction on this page or a combination of the articles could be viable.
Your lists are well formed and comprehensive which is good. I think the repetition of the lists throughout the page gives a clarity and ease of viewing for the information that many other pages do not have.
I also think the amount of referencing to other articles adds a high level of transparency with your information
