Talk:Calligraphy

In relation to items such as the Book of Kells, reference is made to the Celtic fringe. Many consider this term to be derogatory, as is mentioned in the article on Celtic nations. This term is often used to imply that the concerns of these peoples can be dismissed as being as politically peripheral as the regions they inhabit are geographically peripheral relative to the European landmass - a patently absurd and offensive equation.

Sorry if this seems nit-picking but what would be an appropriate temr with which to replace it? "Celtic nations"? The "insular Celts"?

I have changed the phrase "in what is now the British Isles and Ireland" in the Western section to say just "the British Isles". This is a geographic, not a political designation. The British Isles have become the British Isles on geological, not historical, timescales, so using the term "in what is now" is inappropriate in the context of this article. Distinguishing Ireland from the rest of the British Isles when talking about geography rather than politics is a misleading and inaccurate neologism that has arisen through a combination of casual misinformation and misguided partisan zeal. ≈ pclive ≈ you aren't being clear on why you changed it. please make your explanation more accessible, or revert the article.

I'm still new to the Wikipedia editing scene, but if somebody could, I think adding a section about Armenian calligraphy would be a great edition.

The modern calligraphy section seems to track only British calligraphic revival. I think it might be impossible to cover modern calligraphy all around the world, but as it is written, it seems to suggest modern calligraphy was revived by British men writing in English at the turn of the century.
