categorized by its function, and the other is a chain categorized by its link shape and size. I have the sense that this article should be about a narrower sense of what "chain" is, or should have at least two major sections, perhaps one the functional applications of chain and two the various physical structures of chain. I am also noting that the article has only one reference, and that is to an Internet page, which makes me think the topic is too broad. In any case, the pastiche approach doesn't seem to be doing the subject any good.

The way this article currently stands, it appears to be mostly a list of expressions and concepts in English that have the word "chain" in them, with no organization of them other than alphabetical. But a "lavatory chain" and a "rolo chain" aren't different "types" of chain: one is a chain

I find it very inapropriate to put an image of a monkey on a chain here. It has nothing to do with the topic. It should be removed.

We need a bit more than that. It doesn't say where this took place. Is this chain in China, Europe or where?
