Needs Improvement
[edit]This article is all over the place! --69.61.215.129 (talk) 05:07, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
Name
[edit]Where does the name come from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.146.192.38 (talk) 22:58, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
- While it seems like the english word is derived from lanière I'm looking forward to someone confirming/quoting this and work it into the article itself. moliate (talk) 20:09, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
Lanyards in fashion
[edit]The lanyard has a place in contemporary teen fashion in the form of hooking the lanyard to either a wallet or back belt loop and left dangling from the waist. This is partially helped by the use of IDs in schools which requires a lanyard, where students will place their ID in their wallet or wallet pocket before and after school to be more appealing and less "in the way." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.25.44.70 (talk) 00:21, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Saya
[edit]Might be worth including 'saya', the cord attached to Japanese swords. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.150.177.244 (talk) 13:15, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
Fall Arrest Lanyards
[edit]I'm surprised to visit this page, and see nothing mentioned on lanyards used in fall arrest systems. I will consider contributing to this article, though it may take some time, as there are many different types. Also finding public domain images might be a bit difficult as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.126.12.220 (talk) 21:10, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
Link to Polish wiki
[edit]When describing lanyard in function of identity card holder it is called pl:Smycz. Current link to pl:Felcech is related with military origin and it is almost not known or used as word by most of Poles. -217.67.201.162 (talk) 14:31, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
Need for clarity
[edit]THe last paragraph needs both clarity and a citation.
Use for identification
[edit]As lanyards have become required in many areas of life, from employee ID to student ID even in primary schools, there is some backlash against this requirement due to feelings of objectification. This would be a good topic to pick up on in the carticle.
