Talk:Flokati rug

Latest comment: 16 years ago by 67.119.2.186

I removed the first part of the second paragraph, which was probably a copy&paste copyright violation from http://www.flokati.com. Compare http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Flokati_Rug&diff=169206783&oldid=162812272 and http://web.archive.org/web/20070328002659/www.flokati.com/flokati.php (which is from an earlier date).
The text in question was:

The Vlachs were sheep and goat herders, producing dairy products sold during the winter in the plains of Trikala, Thessaly, Macedonia and as far away as Odessa. In the Spring, the Vlach women would weave flokati rugs for use primarily as clothing and bedding for their tents, keeping them warm during the long winter months. They would also sell flokati rugs at bazaars during the winter. This tradition continued for centuries and didn’t cease until the early 1960s. From http://www.flokati.com/flokati.php

Feel free to replace it with a new text. --Rubik's Cube (talk) 21:12, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply




Are the two links to commercial websites appropriate for wikipedia? TheFlyingGerbil 21:13, 19 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Probably not... --Rubik's Cube (talk) 21:12, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
The whole article sounds like an advertisement. 67.119.2.186 (talk) 07:00, 9 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
