According to a Wikipedia article about Dalton, Georgia, 90% of the world’s functional carpet today is made in the United States: specifically in northwest Georgia using a cottage technique invented as a cottage industry in that region in the early twentieth century. Yet not only is that seemingly important topic passed over, but the carpet industry in the United States is ignored entirely in this article. John1054 ( talk) 16:35, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

"Carpet" and "Rug" tends to be used interchangeably colloquially. In actuality, however, they are different and I feel the difference should be clarified. Within the text we have now, is a good explanation of the difference."Wall-to-wall carpet is distinguished from rugs or mats, which are loose-laid floor coverings, as wall-to-wall carpet is fixed to the floor and covers a much larger area." Carpet There is a commonality in both; they are fiber-based woven flooring materials. To the consumer, they are interchangeable, but in construction, the types of materials to make these products, how they are designed, manufactured, installation materials and labor, is entirely different. I feel comfortable making the distinctions, editing the text, but I'd like to hold hands with somebody who seems responsible before/during. Or is that this that Be Bold thing they are talking about?

A fair bit of the text in the section on Axminster sounds like blurb from a marketing leaflet. In particular, in an internationally available encyclopedia, the phrase "The traditional domain of rugs from faraway continents" sounds jarring - continents far away from where? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.171.59.177 ( talk) 15:38, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
