Talk:Tangelo

message: That's gotta be the *worst* photo on all of wikipedia.  Next time you have a tangelo, someone snap a photo.  (We don't get them here or I would do it.)
:I was thinking the same thing. I'll be getting some in a couple months; if there's still no better picture (and I remember!) I'll try to get a good one. 69.175.141.106 13:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Why does Minneola redirect to Tangelo, yet the Minneola is not even mentioned once in the article?  Badagnani 04:51, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minneola 

message: I remember an episode of the TV show "Wings" where Helen, when listing things that drive her crazy about Joe, mentions how he always buys "those mutant orange things." Joe later explains that they're tangelos, and describes what he likes about them. I don't remember the episode, or even the season--I think it's one of the later seasons when they're married, but I can't say for sure. Does anyone else remember this? Does anyone know the reference? --12.154.39.254 21:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia addition 

message: The mentioning of the grapefruit as one of the hybrid sources and then going on to the possible origin of the Tangelo in Southeast Asia over 3,500 years ago does not tally. Citation needed, yes, I understand. The grapefruit originated in the 18th century in Barbados, it says elsewhere. If the Tangelo is a lot older in Southeast Asia, then the grapefruit does not belong there. It seems, however, that the '3,500 years ago' do not belong there. This credible source lists the grapfruit as hybrid source, which makes the tangelo less than 200 years old.

I think, the 3,500 years should probably be deleted.

message: An IP editor suggested the following...
Tangelo is also a term for a Polynesian male's testicles from the Pertutu tribe in South East Asia
I thought that it was too funny to leave in the article without any reference, or to simply delete. Unfortunately google has nothing on the Pertutu tribe; so I'll leave it here for you to ponder. Saayiit (talk) 04:39, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

message: The infobox says this page may need additional citations, but all of the information seems well-sourced. I know tangelos are an extremely hot-button issue </sarcasm>, but everything seems accounted for. Can we remove the box? Fred.Pendleton (talk) 02:19, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: According to the article, a tangelo is:
a citrus fruit hybrid of a Citrus reticulata variety, such as mandarin orange or tangerine, and a Citrus maxima variety, such as a pomelo or grapefruit.
Okay, fair enough, but keep reading:
They generally have loose skin and are easier to peel than oranges, readily distinguished from them by a characteristic "nipple" at the stem.
Now if you know the first thing about citrus taxonomy, the warning lights should be flashing. Why? Because oranges are a cross between mandarin oranges and pomelo. Yes, according to the definition given for "tangelo", all oranges are tangelos. Yet the article does not mention it, and even contradicts it by explaining how they are "different".
Here's the first few words from our own article on the sweet orange:
Citrus × aurantium f. aurantium (Syn: Citrus × sinensis), a hybrid between pomelo (Citrus maxima) and mandarin (Citrus reticulata), also known as the sweet orange OivinF (talk) 19:59, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
