[edit] Great Wallachia/Thessalian Wallachia in picture?
The article purports that Great Wallachia is synonymous with the Wallachia in Thessaly, however the map in the accompanying image shows otherwise, labeling the Romanian Wallachia as "Great Wallachia" while the Wallachia in Thessaly is noted differently. This is inconsistent with the information in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.167.87.248 (talk) 14:45, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- That is what I was thinking, maybe this article should be moved to Wallachian Thessalay? Rcduggan (talk) 16:29, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Sources

That book states that Great Wallachia was east of Hungary, the map on the article says no such thing. The map clearly states that Great Wallachia is where the Principality of Wallachia is, not Wallachian Thessaly. This article should be moved to the correct title, or changed to reflect the correct geographic location. Rcduggan (talk) 22:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Just make a Google search with the term "Great Wallachia". In most cases, it will refer to the state in Greece. Not only that, but its contemporary name was also "Great Wallachia" (in Greek, Megali Vlachia). The term "Wallachian Thessaly" is more descriptive, but not historical. Since Wallachia proper is usually referred to as such (i.e. without the prefix "Great"), no danger of confusion normally exists. I will however address the issue by adding a disambiguation notice on top of the article. Regards, Cplakidas (talk) 00:15, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] please remove this article from WikiProject Greece
Great wallachia was aromnanian and has nothing to do with greeks. Please never ever say aromanians have the same history with greeks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Camaradianis (talk • contribs) 15:56, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
