The claim about the Nigerian Armed Forces strikes me as rather improbable. At [[Talk:Nigeria]] I have asked if anyone can confirm or deny it. [[User:Securiger|Securiger]] 00:38, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

== Why is in the "American inventions" category? ==

OK, I have moved this from the article:

:''The [[Military of Nigeria|Nigerian Armed Forces]] have been reviewing the possibility of using the Machete as their standard weapon in their new conscript army of 5,000,000 troops.''

The machete existed before the US was a thing. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Last edited by:|Last edited by:]] ([[User talk:Last edited by:#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Last edited by:|contribs]]) 03:36, 9 June 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

I can find no support for it anywhere, it sounds like someone denigrating Nigeria (which actually has a pretty well equipped army for Equatorial Africa), and this, if true, would represent a nearly ten-fold increase in the size of the Army. In short, I think it's bogus. [[User:Securiger|Securiger]] 17:14, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

== Please redirect ==

There is a section in this article about machetes made by the Collins company. This is not needed and should be redirected. Please do so. [[Special:Contributions/49.192.44.178|49.192.44.178]] ([[User talk:49.192.44.178|talk]]) 11:50, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

== variety's ==

there isnt just a single machete theres hundreds of styles and types for diffrent things so can a section be dedicated to all the main styles with a sub page with the rest [[User:Notreallyyoungforthis|Notreallyyoungforthis]] ([[User talk:Notreallyyoungforthis|talk]]) 13:22, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
