This article has been June 2004: "Untitled David Williamson column". The Western Mail. June 1, 2004. This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

There is a request, submitted by Catfurball, for an audio version of this article to be created. For further information, see WikiProject Spoken Misplaced Pages. The rationale behind the request is: "Important".

Semi-protected edit request on 12 November 2021

Near the bottom of the article, under "Etymology," we have:

"The name diamond is derived from the ancient Greek Ancient Greek: ἀδάμας (adámas), 'proper, unalterable, unbreakable, untamed'"

The first instance of "ancient Greek" (the one that is not a hyperlink) should be removed to avoid repetition. 93.41.2.30 (talk) 07:39, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Done. --Kent G. Budge (talk) 15:23, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Image not in english

The image showcasing major diamond mining countries is in French and not in English, despite of being on the English version of the page. 117.194.52.236 (talk) 11:54, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your concern. I'm not aware of any policy that says that images in this Misplaced Pages have to be in English. Of course, it is preferable, so I did a quick search for an alternative and didn't find one. If you're able to find or make one yourself, you're welcome to substitute it. But for now, I think the text is easy for an English speaker to understand, and of course it's reinforced by the map itself. RockMagnetist(talk) 16:48, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Agreed. One of the biggest challenges for Misplaced Pages is finding suitable images on acceptable licensing terms to illustrate concepts in articles. For this reason, the rules governing images are more relaxed than those for contributed text (except for copyright, which is strictly enforced.) It's a necessity one hopes is temporary. --Kent G. Budge (talk) 17:25, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Synthetic diamonds.

Who is the world leader? How advanced is the technology of production?Neo Zweite (talk) 17:02, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Day .

Do you mean technology for diamonds Sintes ? Where is the largest diamond sintezator? In my opinion - somewhere in Russia. Somewhere near Moskva. Plus . In Space . On space station "Soyuz".Patrug Dritte (talk) 16:12, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

apropo:

"Those potentially synthetic diamonds require more investigation in a specialized lab. Examples of commercial screening devices are D-Screen (WTOCD / HRD Antwerp), Alpha Diamond Analyzer (Bruker / HRD Antwerp), and D-Secure (DRC Techno).

Exports treemap

The caption below the graph of exporting countries says: "Diamond exports by country (2014) from Harvard Atlas of Economic Complexity"

However when I click on this link I see totally different data, for instance 14.71% for the US instead of 5% on our image. I played with the settings (e.g., "Diamonds, industrial, unworked", "SITC rev.2 (1962-2020)", "Net" instead of "Gross", other years, etc.) but I couldn't generate an identical tree map.

Should we remove this image?

We could also replace it by the 2020 data but I'm not even sure the data makes sense for readers as the tree map seems to merge worked diamonds and unworked diamonds. a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 13:11, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

"Incandescent lighting will not cause a diamond to fluoresce."

Shouldn't it say "visible light," since there are incandescent ultraviolet lights? And shouldn't "Ultraviolet" in the preceding sentence be lowercase? 67.180.143.89 (talk) 15:55, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
