==Definition==
Fiber or fibre (from the Latin fibra[1]) is a '''flexible''', cylindrically shaped, natural or synthetic substance whose length is significantly greater than its base. Because of its flexibility it is often combined mechanically with other fibers to produce threads for a wide variety of uses in many industries. Various substances are used to produce material of different strengths and textures.

==Fiber and fibre==
Artificial fibers are cheaper and lower quality meaning they do not have longevity. The process in which these fibers are made is harmful for the environment. [[User:Aguerrero13|Aguerrero13]] ([[User talk:Aguerrero13|talk]]) 03:01, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Re "Fiber (American English) or fibre (British English)": I would prefer to see "Fiber (often spelt fibre)". 'British' English is not just British: it is used also in many countries apart from Britain or the UK, and I dont believe it is entirely closed to use of 'American' spellings.

===Commonwealth===
I don't know where people get the idea that outside America English is only used in the commonwealth. Ireland for example has the same spellings as the UK but is not in the commonwealth. The truth is that the international spelling is fibre and the American spelling is Fiber.

so what is the difference, in last line of the paragraph both spellings are same..

==Correct Spelling==

As far as I know, "Fibre" is used in more english-speaking countries than "Fiber". Wikipedia should not be Amero-centric and should reflect the more popular spelling. Therefore I think this page should be changed to Fibre. --[[Special:Contributions/75.130.54.14|75.130.54.14]] ([[User talk:75.130.54.14|talk]]) 14:58, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

The spelling, fiber, used in the the first edition of the article will stay, period. This isn't arguable.

Says the guy who does not sign his comment (even though underneath the 'save page' button it indicates to do so, and in bold). I concur with 75.130.54.14 and the person who created the section 'Commonwealth', considering the words Latin origin, 'fibra'. Actually, I would argue that the vast majority of people whose first language is derived from Latin spell it with the vowel ('e' or 'a') after the 'r' (Spain, France, Italy and Portugal). It would be purely logical to title the article as 'Fibre' (and as an extension, list 'fiber' as an alternative form), and you would be irrational to think otherwise.

==Bamboo Is Missing From "Natural Fibres" List==
Bamboo is missing from the natural fibres list. Just thought I'd mention that.[[Special:Contributions/24.83.148.131|24.83.148.131]] ([[User talk:24.83.148.131|talk]]) 11:44, 17 July 2008 (UTC)BeeCIer

I think we need to be careful here. Some bamboo fibre is made by extracting the fibre and softening it, either mechanically or chemically, and as such qualifies as a natural fibre. But most (??) so-called bamboo fibre is actually a reconstituted cellulosic, an artificial fibre like rayon or viscose - and thus NOT a natural fibre. [[User:Natural fibre|Natural fibre]] ([[User talk:Natural fibre|talk]]) 22:09, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

== Human-Made (??) Man-made Synthetics ==

Can someone help sort out the terminology here - I do not have sufficient knowledge to do it. It is my understanding that man-made (artificial) cellulosic fibres such as rayon are not generally classified as synthetic. Under human-made fibres (is that term too ugly to use?) synthetics should (I think) be listed as a separate category to cellulosic fibres. [[User:Natural fibre|Natural fibre]] ([[User talk:Natural fibre|talk]]) 22:06, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
: According to [[Encyclopædia Britannica]], [http://global.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/578682/synthetic-fibre synthetic fibre] is a subset of [http://global.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/361113/man-made-fibre man-made fibre]. I edited the article to reflect it.

– Simply put, the current setup does not seem to be helpful for readers when [[Dietary fiber]] gets almost 66% more page views than [[Fiber]], and [[Optical fiber]] gets almost literally twice as many views as [[Dietary fiber]] ([[Optical fiber]] gets about 233% more page views than [[Fiber]].) With these statics, I would almost say that [[Optical fiber]] should be the [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC|primary topic]], but since it has been determined to be a subtopic of the broad concept article at [[Fiber]], it may be inappropriate to deem it so, especially considering that optical fibers do not have as much historical importance as the other two articles. However, the subject of [[Dietary fiber]] is not a subtopic of [[Fiber]] (the fact that [[Dietary fiber]] is mentioned in [[Fiber]] is misleading since the former is not a material used to make items.) With that being said (specifically the comparison of [[Fiber]] vs. [[Dietary fiber]]), it is probably best to move the disambiguation page to the base title so that the reader can decide which topic the are trying to locate when searching for the term "fiber".

*'''Oppose'''. The current [[fiber]] article is a [[WP:CONCEPTDAB|CONCEPTDAB]] that sufficiently covers the various types of fiber with links to the sub-articles.

:*The issue with this is that the premise behind a [[WP:CONCEPTDAB]] being at the ambiguous title is that it is also supposed to act as a [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC|primary topic]] for the main topic for the most common use of its term, with subtopics included.

** This is ''not'' "commercial" fiber. Fibers exist in plants and animals and minerals regardless of whether they are commercially extracted or not.

*** I agree with the comment (from an anonymous user) in the sense that "(commercial)" may not be the best choice of words to convey the intent of this article. Considering that this article concerns only those fibers that are used by humans to make fabric, rope, etc, perhaps a better choice would be "Fiber (traditional)". Maybe someone knowledgeable in anthropology might seize upon the ''bon mot''. [[User:ArthurOgawa|ArthurOgawa]] ([[User talk:ArthurOgawa|talk]]) 16:25, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

* Following the move, I think that this article must be further edited. It need not refer to other articles that are on the disambiguation page: that function would be adequately taken care of by the [[WP:HATNOTE|hatnote]]. Therefore, the article should be edited to remove references to, e.g., "Dietary Fiber", "Nerve Fiber", and "Optical Fiber". [[User talk:AjaxSmack|AjaxSmack]] deems the aforementioned topics to be "sub-topics" of "Fiber". I would assert (with [[User talk:Steel1943|Steel1943]]) that they are not, that the word "Fiber" is simply extremely overloaded and possesses historical meanings that more recent, technical language has added to (this process is well known in linguistics). Note that metal wire and mineral (glass) fiber can be processed and utilized much the same ways (plied, woven, felted, used directly for sewing) as traditional (vegetable and resin) fibers, but for different purposes (rarely for, e.g., garments). This fact makes the topic difficult to treat in a coherent way. Some conundrums: what is the essential difference between a steel cable, rope, and thread? Between the fabric of a woven wool shirt and the Kevlar filling in a bulletproof vest? How do we classify a garment made of chainmail? [[User:ArthurOgawa|ArthurOgawa]] ([[User talk:ArthurOgawa|talk]]) 17:10, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

*'''Oppose''' per AjaxSmack ; just add dietary fibre to the hatnote. Optical fibres are a type of fibre, thus a subtopic of this current topic. -- [[Special:Contributions/70.51.202.113|70.51.202.113]] ([[User talk:70.51.202.113|talk]]) 04:55, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
** I disagree that Optical fibers are a sub-topic of this article: they are not woven, felted, matted, or used to sew things together, albeit they are customarily laid up in a cable. The use of the term "fiber" in that context is metaphorical. Given the way optical fibers are manufactured (by drawing), they could as well have been named "optical wires".

*** Many fibres are drawn or extruded. Low quality plastic optical fibres used in novelty lamps are extruded. Glass optical fibres are a type of glass fibre, another type being that found in glass wool, which is matted, woven, felted, etc. Hollow core glass fibres used in optical fibres are similar to hollow-cored insulating fibres used in clothing. Metal wires are turned into steel wool. And metal wire is woven into metal fabrics, such as the copper shielding in coaxial cable. Metal wire is braided into different gauge wire as well. -- [[Special:Contributions/70.51.202.113|70.51.202.113]] ([[User talk:70.51.202.113|talk]]) 05:19, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

::: Dietary fiber includes significantly cellulose. Cellulose is a stringy material composed of interweaved/bonded polymeric glucose.
::: Dietary fiber is an example of a fibre that happens to be a component in food. As I understand all the difficult/impossible to digest dietary fibres, they are all microscopic composite of molecular polymers of one kind or another.
::: I see the article [[dietary fibre]] speaks of "so-called dietary fiber are not actually fibrous", and that some organisations are inventing definitions weakening the fiber aspect and highlighting resistance to digestion.

This article is written in US American English, but nothing in the article is specific to the USA.

Why?

The spelling ''Fiber'' rather than ''Fibre'' is not even used generally in Canada.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.noslangues-ourlanguages.gc.ca/en/writing-tips-plus/fibre-fiber- |title=Writing Tips Plus: fibre, fiber |publisher=Government of Canada/Gouvernement du Canada: Translation Bureau |date=2020-02-28 |access-date=2023-03-12 }}</ref>

Other Wikipedia articles which are not about specifically US American items are written in [[Commonwealth English|international English]].

The best example to compare with is ''[[Aluminium]]'' which is used with the '''non''' US American spelling in all the articles I have found in Wikipedia, even though ''Aluminum'' is also used in Canada.
