[edit] Coptic bookbinding?

Did ancient Copts invent this ancient (4th century?) for bookbinding? Were these people living in Ethiopia? Or Egypt? Or who were the inventors of this bookbinding exactly? African Christians?--Sonjaaa 18:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Review

This article has been reviewed against the good article criteria and has failed. I did have a whole in depth review for you but my computer just crashed and took with it the whole damned thing! Here is a truncated version:

You don't cite enough sources anywhere, especially in the sections which I have flagged up as needing references.
The language section needs to be expanded. Is the language widely spoken or is it only liturgical? Is it taught in schools, at home or at church? How many people speak it? Why don't I know this from reading the article?
The lead section needs a re-write, to pass both the Well Written and NPOV criteria. Get rid of the parentheses. The majority of whom? Does this mean that the majority of Copts are members of the Coptic Orthodox Church, or that the Coptic Orthodox Church is the biggest Coptic church in the world? Are the two the same? Just get rid of those parentheses! *Also, in your infobox you cite the estimate of the Coptic church. Both the Coptic Church and the Egyptian Government are bias sources, but you have in the CIA a neutral and disinterested third party - use their estimate for the infobox.
