Wick

What was the wick made of? 58.168.96.165 (talk) 12:19, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's in the Kudlik#Description and use section, second paragraph. "The wick was mostly made of Arctic cottongrass, common cottongrass,[13] or dried moss (Inupiaq: peqaq)[11]" CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 22:57, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A matter for a logging editor or admin to look in on

Because I am not sure of the actual rules governing this, I do not actually know what to suggest with regard to the following.

The article, here, opens without clear reference or bolding of the title word. Instead it proceeds to present "qulliq" in bold. This I understand is how the Inuit render the title concept in English, and is how I came to find the article in the first place (because search of "qulliq" in WP redirects to the Kudlik article).

It seems to me some change is in order, depending on the rules that govern—perhaps that Kudlik be elevated in the text and made bold (so that the reader understands the relationship of the article-title to the article, immediately), or that the article be renamed to match the term "qulliq" (i.e., a to a actually recognizable by the people most interested in the article).

Thank for considering and attending to this, whoever come upon it. Cheers. 2601:246:C700:19D:503C:C120:7A2:6537 (talk) 03:42, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for seeing this. The kudlik spelling is the older style while qulliq is a newer, and generally prefered, version. I've moved it to the quillq spelling. I did a bit of updating but feel free to make any edits you think would improve it. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 16:31, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
