The article seems to be getting longer and more cluttered than it needs to be. Some of the areas I think need looked at are number and quality of images, reduction in numbers of list items where possible and some technical detail on how the parts of the kite help it to fly. Does anyone have suggestions for improvement, whether in general or for specifc parts of the article? [[User:Beechhouse|Beechhouse]] ([[User talk:Beechhouse|talk]]) 11:04, 19 February 2009 (UTC) |

Archive 1 created
I have copied the entire talk page to Archive 1 to clear some space. If there's anything ongoing which shouldn't have been moved, please cut and paste it back to this page. Beechhouse (talk) 15:00, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Broken Link
Reference No. 4 - which leads to an article in the Kitelife Magazine, is a 404. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.19.28.2 (talk) 05:34, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- I have fixed the link. Beechhouse (talk) 23:09, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Disambig?
What do you call the thing that many orienteers call a "kite"? Eg, the orange and white thing in Image:Tajfuto.jpg? --Una Smith (talk) 21:33, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- A control point, flag or marker. I think you would need to show that the phrase is in general use to add it to the disambiguation page. Beechhouse (talk) 22:57, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- Not all control points use a prism-shaped hanging thing and, when they do, the hanging thing is a component of the control point. I can find sources showing notability of names I already know; what I am looking for is additional names. Where am I going with this? Some home owners hang kite-like, windsock-like things outside their home, that spin or swing in the wind. What are those things called? --Una Smith (talk) 02:34, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism!!!!
There's some obvious vandalism on this article, look at the last two sections before see also. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.144.44.83 (talk) 20:08, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
- I have just tidied the Kite types section and split into 'Kite designs' and 'Kite types' to keep things getting cluttered. Beechhouse (talk) 16:08, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Article improvements
The article seems to be getting longer and more cluttered than it needs to be. Some of the areas I think need looked at are number and quality of images, reduction in numbers of list items where possible and some technical detail on how the parts of the kite help it to fly.
