Talk:Pot-holder

Please keep this article

There is much to write about pot-holders, enough to make an article. This is just a start. /Yvwv (talk) 14:29, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

You don't need to use the "hangon" tag - prods can be contested by anyone for any reason by removing the tag. Natalie (talk) 20:37, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Duplicate sources

Hello all, I am fairly new to Wikipedia, so I personally haven't figured out how to do this yet, but if someone could merge the duplicate sources on this page, that would be wonderful. Sources 4, 6, and 7 are identical to each other, as are 8, 9, and 11; 13, 14, and 16 also need to be merged. If I do figure out how to merge sources, I will do that at a later date. ~Komet (talk) 04:58, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

I think the Wool section needs a go-over

In the wool section it mentions wool as being able to withstand high temperatures, but twice later it says that wool has a low ignition temperature. Later it mentions an ignition temperature of 1000° Fahrenheit. My oven doesn't go that high! (Just checked, only 550° Fahrenheit.) Later the article mentions that the "char" forms a semi-liquid state. Is it actually semi-liquid, an actual semifluid, or would another descriptive term work better? I think this section needs to be gone over by someone that knows a lot about wool. -cyalknight@gmail.com 75.172.28.201 (talk) 22:32, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Conflicting information

Under style development it states "he earliest records of pot-holders in the United States stem from the early 1900s" but the image on the page is tagged "A mid-1800s abolitionist pot-holder, from the Smithsonian Museum of American History" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8001:4547:867B:B110:CBD2:DA3:A202 (talk) 20:03, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
