[edit] De-stubbed

This article appears to be of an appropriate length for the subject matter under discussion. It is also appropriately categorized and wikified.

By nature, stubbing and tagging articles devalues them, giving them an aura of unreliability and making them seem less credible. As part of my personal campaign to free up articles that have been stubbed and tagged without cause, this article has been disenstubified.

If any editor disagrees, and would rather re-stub it than improve it by adding actual content, please discuss here. The Editrix 21:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

This article can and should be a lot longer to be a decent encyclopedia article about the topic. — Matt Crypto 16:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kanga vs Kikoy

My wife informs me that a kikoys is a little different to a kikoy in that a kanga usually has a printed proverb, and a kikoy is worn by men. We currently equate them in the article. We should try and find a reliable source to cite, one way or the other. — Matt Crypto 21:05, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

As it is, this article is not about the kanga, but about a number of common Eastern African garments. Is it a good idea to move it to East African garments, and to have a more extensive article on the kanga here? — mark ✎ 07:35, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

In fact I just moved it. Ultimately, it would be better to have distinct articles on all three types of garments. — mark ✎ 07:57, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
