Talk:Banded mail

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article has no sources stated to support its claims, and the picture illustration is from the Dungeons and Dragons Third Edition game book, which I don't believe is in line with Wikipedia's view on acceptable sources.

I'm not making an attack, just an observation.

I also came here to point out that the image is not in the public domain, unless the person who posted it knows something I don't. Greyscale 04:24, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I took the article from a quasi-wikipedia website which also displayed the image. Perhaps I misunderstand the image policy because I was under the impression that it was fair use. Really my only intention was to create a short and rather ephemeral stub that would quickly be replaced with better information.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 09:25, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't think the picture is even that accurate or helpful since you can't tell what is supposed to be the banded mail or even if its accurate. Dalassa 04:30, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

This article appears to describe "banded mail" that only exists in the third edition of Dungeons and Dragons. It is a simplification of the various types of armor that actually existed and filled a gap in gameplay mechanics. It either needs to be edited to make this obvious and link to what inspired this "simplification" or should be deleted. I deleted the image as it is very much not public domain in any way, as its part of a copyrighted book. 69.232.219.203 20:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit]

is it the same as laminar armour (like lorica segmentata) or not?

No. --Eyrian 17:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
