Original Title in catalan[edit]

Title changed to Chronology of bladed weapons: Title of original article in catalan (https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q11916205&oldid=31040745)--Mcapdevila (talk) 14:13, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Arguments against the fusion with sword[edit]

That chronology it's a compilation that includes diverse and relatively uneven documents about different families of bladed weapons: swords, dress-swords, sabers, rapiers, foils, machetes, daggers, knives, arrowheads, etc..., with the sword references being the most numerous but not the unique among the other listed references of the rest of bladed weapons. The reason to group them into a single list responds to a goal for simplification.. instead of making a different chronology article for each type of bladed weapon.

Some of the facts included.. not directly linked with sword

1146. Earliest clear references to naginata, which is not a sword
1540. "Pirotechnia", work of Vannoccio Biringuccio, armourer of Siena. Among other topics it deals with some iron mines and the reduction of the mass in a forge with bellows.
1742. "Dictionnaire Universel De Commerce", Jacques Savary des Bruslons, Philémon-Louis Savary. French name of the composite leaves with iron core and steel exterior ("lame de ettofe").^[54]
1750. News about the "varnished iron" or "iron" mines of Mondragón.^[55]
1760. Carlos III of Spain orders to Luis de Urbina, infantry colonel, a report on the bladed weapons factories of Toledo, Valencia, Zaragoza and Barcelona
1772. Rules for Californian presidios. Soldado de cuera. Cutting arms. Broad sword and lance characteristics

At the time of this writing it's linked (called) as a sub-article from the history paragraph of the following articles

Wikipedia talk:Summary style#Multiple mains

This can be thought of as layering inverted pyramids where the reader is first shown the lead section for a topic, and within its article any section may have a {{Main|<subpage name>}} hatnote or similar link to a full article about the subtopic summarized in that section. For example, Yosemite National Park#History and History of the Yosemite area are two such related featured articles. Thus, by navigational choices, several different types of readers each get the amount of details they want.--Mcapdevila (talk) 14:59, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Samsamah Sword[edit]

Under the section on the Samsamah Sword, the reference to "Greek" does not refer to Greece, it refers to the Byzantine empire. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Droopyfeathers (talk • contribs) 20:07, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you are right, but could you give an example of some greek of the today called "Byzantine empire" calling their state "Byzantine empire"?--Mcapdevila (talk) 16:17, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
