message: Deleted "distinguish" advisory.  The words "Damson" (a plum) and "Ransom" (wild garlic) are simply not close enough or confused with one another often enough to warrant such a disambiguation.  They are neither homonyms, homophones, or anything even close.
Distinguishing "Ransoms" and "Ramps", one wild garlic, the other wild leek, that would make more sense.  It is done, however, in the body of those articles.Wikiuser100 (talk) 15:26, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But the UK term for Wild Garlic is RAMSON which is only one letter different.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.26.9.245 (talk) 19:55, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The damson is not Prunus x domestica but Prunus domestica L. subsp. insititia. See Sorting Prunus names, http://www.plantnames.unimelb.edu.au/Sorting/Prunus_Pt2.html. Thank you. Wikiuser100 (talk) 18:39, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Are we really sure the fruit in the picture are damsons? They look like some other variety of dessert plum to me. Damsons in the UK generally grow much smaller, thus seldom forming much of a cluster, and don't have that whitish covering, appearing a shiny green and turning a very distinctive dark, glossy purple when ripe. They are also a pretty regular ellipsoid, with only a very slight depression. Of course, they may vary a good deal in other countries, so I'm only checking. They are in season now, and I'm in the process of harvesting and processing them, so I can get a photo quickly if required. Sjwells53 (talk) 11:25, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

text: Another photo sounds like a good idea. If there is variation in how they look, that would be helpful to those of us who are confused about damsons, bullaces, mirabelles, prune plums, etc. Perhaps adding it to the Commons gallery linked at the bottom of the page would be a good idea.

message: I am not so sure if "Quetsche" is a French word. I am a German (from Berlin), and grew up using this word for plums. Also, look at the typical German "sch" inside the word "Quetsche". Some further research has to be done about the nationality of this word. SvenLittkowski (talk) 08:45, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
