Talk:Origins of carpets

Jim, good to see a new author on board. I have one suggestion/question/comment/whatever you want to call it. As I read this, the first thing I thought was that this might be better included in a general article about carpet and then if certain subsections grow large enough to warrant their own articles, we can go from there. You, however, appear to be the rug expert, so I could be wrong. :) --Todd Coles 15:32, 6 February 2008 (CST)

Thanks for the comments (and editing help). Yes, I have been 'playing' with this for some time and finally just threw it out there like it is. Perhaps now that my feet are wet I can expand on it like that. I question whether we need/want a couple of external links but one was created for this and readily returns to this page.

Typically we try to constrain external links to the external links subpage (We haven't set that up on this article yet) and within the article we wikilink the key words (putting brackets around a keyword that will link to another article on the wiki - for example, [[carpet]] will create a link for an article by that name. carpet). Forgive me if I am misunderstanding you or telling you something you already know. --Todd Coles 15:57, 6 February 2008 (CST)
