Chartered Florists

Searching the web does not give any further information on the Chartered Florists Order. Can Eddy Mars or anyone else elaborate on this subject? Bouwhuise (talk) 15:13, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

• I agree that 'Chartered Florists' is an unrecognized group. With no response after 5 months, I am deleting that section. Camillia (talk) 02:36, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Arrangement Vs. Arranging

Just a question.100110100 21:23, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Just made some big changes

Hope you all like it! Please add/change more if you want.

Also, I would like help with moving the bulk of the intro into the contents. I think it is far too long and drawn out, and should be divided up.

Please add more styles of floristry! Off the top of my head I could only think of descriptions for the three.

One more thing! I was thinking that it would be really great to have more photos. That one 'MUM' photo really doesn't give a good example of floral arranging. It would be neat for each style mentioned to have it's own photo. Eddie mars 18:28, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

It's coming together!

Thanks to whomever put up the 'shorten this intro' tag. I removed it because I think the intro looks pretty short after I got a good hold of it. It's funny, after seeing nigh a change to this damn page, I decided just to do it all myself. I hate to feel like a hog, but it had to be done. I even created a Gift basket page so that there wouldn't be a broken link going on. That Gift basket page is a stub, so if any of you folks feel like expanding it, that would be greatly appreciated!

Add more stuff! Let's get this ugly duckling on 'Today's Featured Article'! Eddie mars 05:49, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

External link appropriateness?

The external links include "popular australian florist" (something called primrose). Is this such a large one as to merit the link on an international resource, or is it advertising? --Abought 01:30, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

• Hmm... which link is this I wonder. Yes, it sounds like an advertisement, but I frankly do not like clicking on links so I don't know which link is the bad one.Eddie mars 06:16, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Supermarket Flowers

CliffC, don't you have any better to do than see each of my edit? And after that you are saying that you have no COI? What I added is a common sense and everyday experience of every shopper in North America. Floralexpert (talk) 03:01, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

When a new editor shows signs of not wanting to learn, or of deliberately ignoring, Wikipedia policies — as you have done consistently in Bloomex and Talk:Bloomex — experienced editors will take a close look at his contributions to be sure the encyclopedia isn't being harmed. I didn't revert your other floral industry article edits; although you do have an admitted conflict of interest in editing these articles, I'll leave it up to the admins here to decide what to do about them. Let's talk about this article. In your edit here to the "Supermarket flowers" section, you changed

Cut flowers are widely sold in supermarkets and gas stations. Unlike a florist, these outlets offer a limited range usually in the form of mixed bunches.

to

Porduct selection is limited to frsh cut bouquets, consumer bunches, roses and plants. Supermarket flowers are usually cheaper the the same product from florists.

I reverted that edit, with the summary "rm unclear edit by contributor with apparent COI - please bring it to the talk page, do not edit the article". Here's why your edit is unclear : the word "cheap" has several meanings in the English language. Do you mean "inexpensive", or do you mean "of poor quality"? There's a difference. Finally, what is "Porduct"? What is "frsh"? What about "the the"? Don't rely on other editors to fix your spelling and typing errors, show some respect by proofreading what you've written and use a dictionary when in doubt.

When you say "What I added is a common sense and everyday experience of every shopper in North America", that means nothing, Wikipedia requires a published, reliable source to say so, no matter how much of an expert you may be in your field. I'll let the regular editors of this article decide what to do with your changes. --CliffC (talk) 00:15, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

plants.rs ?

I was reading the article and saw this: cultivation of flowers and plants.rs and plants

plants.rs a typo? doesn't look legitimate to me. Possibly an attempt to spam a legitimate link to a domain. .rs is Serbia. Maybe an authority can correct or remove. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ralphdaugherty (talk • contribs) 20:21, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
