Pictures?Zigzig20s 04:34, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is odd, the pictures that are there now aren't the traditional used I expeced to find. I was flooring for a good floor example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.181.253.68 (talk) 16:26, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed dubious origin of word flagstone

I added a reference to a dictionary definition of the words flag and flagstone and removed text that attributed the name flagstone to the town of Flagstaff in Arizona and a company (still in operation) that has supplied flagstone since about 1900. The name flag stone predates this by centuries and the text read like an attempt to introduce an American company name into an article about a generic, naturally occurring product that has been used in many countries for hundreds of years.

Anglo-Saxons

What is meant by the reference to Anglo-Saxons? There were no Anglo-Saxons building castles or any other type of building in the 13th century. I suspect it is an inaccurate shorthand for English and Scots, which will not please the Celtic population of the latter, in particular. Should be clarified or removed.
