message: I'm not very apt with editing yet, but I noticed that there was a part about uses in food that needed citations. Skruf Snus (a snuff brand) has a homepage, http://skruf.se/index2.htm where bergamot is mentioned in the description of the different kinds of snuff (the descriptions are in English even though it's a .sv site) It is also mentioned in these product descriptions on a site belonging to General snus (http://www.svensktsnus.se/sv/produkter/General/ - in swedish this time though I think they have an English site as well). All of the snuffs are describes as having "distinct hints of bergamot". Hope this is of some help. --Aryllia (talk) 12:50, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

I can find no references, anywhere, of Bergamot oranges used in "Calabrian witchraft". I do find mention of its use in Calabrian indigenous (plant) healing. I'd like to update this section accordingly, along with a proper citation. --4wajzkd02 (talk) 23:09, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The article says, "...is the size of an orange, with a yellow color similar to a lemon..."  however all the photos on the English version are, um, green.  Greener than any lemon I've seen that was ripe enough to pick.  Anyone else have trouble with this inconsistancy?  Are there any free/gpl photos of this thing when it's actually yellow?  Claimed yellow, looks green, and called an orange :)  80.101.162.155 (talk) 13:06, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The second para of the article states "The bergamot orange is unrelated to the herbs of the same name, Monarda didyma and Monarda fistulosa, which are in the mint family." I do not understand what is meant by the "same name." Nowhere in the article is the name Monarda mentioned except for in this section which just states the obvious that the bergamot orange is not related to these herbs. Is something missing? Is Monarda a synonym for the bergamot orange? If so, something to this effect should be added, but if not, this sentence can be deleted.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by AlanSiegrist (talk • contribs) 23:44, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I understand now. The herbs go by the common names "bergamot" and "wild bergamot" so that sentence is intended to avoid confusion. Perhaps the names of the Wikipedia articles on those herbs were previously "bergamot" and "wild bergamot," respectively, so those names may have previously appeared here.

thread_title:  Same Name? 

message: The whole article appears to be suspect in lacking accuracy. With a little digging into the background it becomes apparent that these citrus fruit were cultivated by the ancient Greeks in Pergamon. The letter P becomes B when translated into Turkish from older Greek words.  Very false and incomplete encyclopedia entry.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.252.7.200 (talk) 05:34, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
