Editing

I assume this isnt done and the creator would not like me editing? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Poseygirl (talk • contribs).

Most Wikipedia articles are never "done". Feel free to edit the article by adding new, verifiable information, adding free images, or improving the structure or quality of current content. --Eyrian 01:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As the 'primary' author I can say: Eyrian is right, it ain't done and if you have something to contribute than please do so. Mercutio.Wilder 12:18, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DnD aside, I'm not sure there IS such a thing as 'splint armor'. Plates riveted to a cloth 'fronting' make brigandine, but I've never seen splints on anything but fore-arms and (rarely) legs. They seem to have fulfilled a role similar to greaves or Persian/Indian Bazubands. Theblindsage (talk) 01:12, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
