Talk:List of cooperatives

message: As we could not hope to list all the hundreds of thousands of co-operatives that exist, surely we need some criteria for inclusion in this list that are more prescise than "someone has heard of it"? Not that I object to co-ops being promoted, of course. TobyJ 15:22, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
