message: The caption on the first picture of artichokes in the article says 
"the deathly artichokes that killed 5 hundred innocent people in zimbabwe."
The image itself doesn't have any comment relating to zimbabwe or foodborne illness, and to me it just looks like a nice picture of some artichokes. I don't know anything about such a thing, and I'm leaving it alone right now, but someone may want to look into that / supply more info.

message: Why is there medical info for an artichoke?  It's a food!
:I agree that it's very odd looking with terms like "dosage".  However, listing ingredients, benefits, and potential allergic reactions is valuable info if it can be rewritten in a more food-appropriate way. StuRat 11:02, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It must refer to a substance found in artichokes.  250-750mg of artichoke would not do much, and people normally eat a lot more than that. Matt13 20:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I have replaced the link to the Artichoke page of Mrs. Grieve's "Modern Herbal" (1931), which I think minimally informative or useful, with one to the Artichokes page of a site (that, in full disclosure, I maintain) on growing varieties of vegetables, herbs, and fruits of particular interest to the home gardener owing to their superior eating qualities.  It has detailed growing information, but is especially focussed on cultivar selection.
While I was at it, I somewhat cleaned the Links section, annotating links, correcting changed targets, and adding a couple of new ones.

message: I'm sceptical regarding the medicinal claims for artichokes. Firstly, "tonic for convalecense" is meaningless.  Artichoke's use to treat gallstones seems to run against warnings I see at some Web sites such as
:In addition, because artichoke leaf is believed to stimulate gallbladder contraction, individuals with gallstones or other forms of gallbladder disease could be put at risk by using this herb. Such individuals should use artichoke leaf only under the supervision of a physician. It is possible that increased gallbladder contraction could lead to obstruction of ducts or even rupture of the gallbladder.
This study casts doubt on the cholesterol-lowering benefits of artichokes and recommends further studies to  establish their validity. 
So, I'll remove all beneficial claims in the text and just keep the one about it increasing bile flow.  We don't want to make people want to medicate themselves with remedies that have not been approved by health authorities. --InfoCan (talk) 20:50, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

message: A significant portion (around half) of the information in the "Cultivation" section is about the history of the cultivation of the artichoke. Perhaps this could be split from the "Cultivation" section and combined with other historical information (see the 'From "artichoke"' section of this talk page) to form a separate "History" section.
A rework of the paragraphs' wording and phrasing may be necessary to improve the flow after the split.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.173.109.104 (talk) 12:29, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

message: "The Dutch introduced artichokes to England, where they grew in Henry VIII's garden at Newhall in 1530."
The link to Newhall goes to a disambiguation page. None of the choices is particularly enlightening. Presumably Henry VIII's garden was in just one of the English villages. 86.14.225.35 (talk) 17:49, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello,
I wanted to add some languages to the list (eg. dutch, https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artisjok , however I always get an error that this language is already in use => Could not save due to an error.
The link nlwiki:Artisjok is already used by item Q134609. You may remove it from Q134609 if it does not belong there or merge the items if they are about the exact same topic.
But what does this mean? I do not see the language in the options on the artichoke page? And Q134609, no idea what that even means, the page, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134609 is just some information, but it is not the wiki? 
I do not understand this.
How can I or others add more languages to the artichoke page?
It is really weird because I looked for artichoke in the dutch wiki, found it, but then realized there is no link on the dutch page to the english page! (there is a link to the simple english one, but not the regular english one?

message: I've reverted this recent edit to the Etymology section. It kept the paragraph that talked of the English names and traced them to Arabic, and removed the two paragraphs about the reborrowing of the Western name into Arabic and about the apparently widespread re-analysis of the names for artichokes in Romance languages.
Now, I sympathise with the view that we shouldn't go at great lengths into content about words as such. However, if it is judged that we should have content about the origin of the English word from Arabic, then I can't envisage an argument that we shouldn't have content about the origin of the Arabic word from English. It's precisely because we're not a dictionary that we should aim for encyclopedically relevant content regardless of the language it's about. The stories around the artichoke's names are well-known, and their coverage in a general work like Rosenhouse and Howner's is an indication that they're not only of a narrowly lexicographical interest. – Uanfala (talk) 23:50, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

message: A brief note, maybe a sentence alone, should mention why California is the sole growing region for the US.  This is discussed in some sources related to Half Moon Bay, where it was once exclusively grown.  I can't recall the exact reasons (I would have to go back to the sources), but it could be due to climate and soil alone.  However, it is unusual that attempts to recreate these conditions elsewhere in the US have failed.  I'm curious if another reason behind the regional focus is a particular state or federal subsidy.
