Please add to this section only companies notable enough to have their own Wikipedia articles. That means no external and no redlinks. Shinhan 17:07, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Shinhan - I think I understand your comment about external links and redlinks, however, how can a simple list not include a broader list of companies? If a company has to be publically traded or historically significant in order to have a listing and therefore appear in the list, do all editors work for large/publically traded companies? Not sure I understand the logic.
From your comment it is implied that only Hallmark and American Greetings are of a size to make them worthy of inclusion. I do not believe this is correct (they may be the current large ones in America … what about the rest of the world?). Go back many years into the 1800’s and you will find another set of important companies who I believe should be relevant to this page (eg Marcus Ward, Goodall ... plus many more). They may even been more important than Hallmark and American Greetings as they are the ones that started and created the whole mass produced greeting card industry. In general this page on greeting cards is very limited and only seems to focus on current greeting cards. I have added a small section on the history of greeting cards … I am sure others can add a lot more to this.-- Kgcolector 11:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Or throw them out?
Hello World !!!! From USA
There is another article, on Cardmaking, mentioned in the "See also" section. In my opinion, it should be merged. It was up for deletion at one point, and from the archived discussion, it seems like this page didn't exist at that point. Anyone else think so? -- Praesentius 00:31, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Maybe I'm old-school, but much of this article reads like an advertisement. 24.10.30.21 ( talk) 03:40, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
How about a little history? Where did the practice of giving cards come from? Who sent the first card? 69.248.65.105 05:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
I have added a small amount of history about greeting cards as I agree this is important to understanding greeting cards. This is such a wide and importaant subject but such a limited view of it in this article. -- Kgcolector 11:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
History needs to be updated. The history talks about all the inventions that influenced greeting cards since the 1400's and nothing is said about the internet? A lot has changed since 1980. I tried to add something but it got deleted. That's cool, all I'm saying is that something needs to be said about the invention of the internet and how it changed the history of greeting cards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EagleinATL ( talk • contribs) 20:31, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
