Article Grading: The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit ยท refresh) I feel the quality of the external links on this page are considerably lower than were a little while ago and I am concerned at the editing of these. The 3 links that are on the page now are, in my opinion, fairly low quality - do people really think that these offer the best cross stitch resources available on the web???? I have re-added a link that used to be on this page 3 times recently and every time it has been removed within a couple of hours. I have found the page I was trying to link to very useful and informative and up until recently it had been part of the external links for many, many months. The link I added worked (I did check) and the page, a 'cross stitch a to z' is the highest ranked page on google for this search - so how can it not be worthy of inclusion???? I wonder who is doing this editing - I can only think that someone is trying to use the links section on this page to try to improve the visibility of their own website at the expense of the overall quality of the page! Is this another example, like DMOZ, of a good idea going bad????? |

[edit] New article
Since this fine article is about the embroidery style, I have started cross stitches to be a companion to chain stitch, satin stitch, couching (embroidery), and so on.
It will have a gallery of stitch diagrams like the others eventually. I see the two as being complementary, and do not recommend merging them. - PKM 01:56, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Point of View
I removed this section, which was under "Uses": "Cross-stitch is the most popular form of hobby embroidery in the western world. It lends itself well to recreational use, as it is easy to learn and very versatile." It seems to be primarily POV. Is there is a citation for the first sentence? writingjen 16:50, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
