[edit] Explanation required
- Needs to have an actual explanation of rug-making, including a history of the procedure. Maybe working from the first rugs up to modern made machine rugs. The intro also has to change because it says nothing about what rug-making is, just that rag-rug making was common up until mid-20th century. Basically MAJOR editing is needed.

Rag rugs can be woven (I've never done one but I know the trick). Is there a non-woven variety, or should they just be listed under woven? [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 01:09, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Merger of categories
There are two categories relating to rugs: 1. Category:Rugs which is a sub-category of Category:Textile arts which is a sub category of the Categories: Artistic techniques | Art media | Textiles | Crafts | Arts and crafts and 2. Category:Rugs and carpets which is a sub-category of Category:Textiles
I propose to merge Category:Rugs into Category:Rugs and carpets. Please see discussion at Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion#Category:Rugs_to_Category:Rugs_and_carpets --A Y Arktos 21:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Advertisement?
The section about hooked rugs does not appear to meet the criteria for neutral P.O.V. and appears to be an endorsement of a particular company, Grenfell Handicrafts. I move that this material be stricken from the article. Also, I note that Traditional_Rug_Hooking has similar content. Should we merge Traditional_Rug_Hooking into this article when the Grenfell stuff is removed, or does Traditional_Rug_Hooking deserve its own article? Would "hooked rugs" or "rug hooking" be a better name than "traditional rug hooking"? Alison Chaiken 04:04, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- Rug hooking would seem a better name. However Wikipedia:Naming conventions (verbs) suggests do not use a verb when there is a more appropriate teitle. Perhaps it should then be called Hoooked rugs. I think the topic deserves its own article.--A Y Arktos 19:32, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
I removed the link to an online rug store as it provided no informational added value The real bicky 15:28, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merger of Carpet and Rug making articles
- Oppose - they seem well-enoough developed articles in their own right. Please explain why they should be merged.--A Y Arktos 19:32, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. Each article has enough potential to stay as it is. --A bit iffy 11:55, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
- Note: The main discussion about the merger proposal is at Talk:Carpet. --A bit iffy 08:58, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Proposal for external link
