Talk:Offensive realism

message: I agree with both the points of view represented.  Offensive Realism is a complex philosophy that deserves a page to itself where the assumptions and implications of the theory can be explained in-depth.  However, it would also be useful to have a broad outline of all types of realism in one page.  Someone new to the subject should only have to go to one page to get a basic education in human nature and structural realism (including both the offensive and defensive schools).

Talk:Tree onion

message: Hi,
Just wanted to point out that there are two different wikipedia articles on Tree Onion and Tree onion. I have no knowledge of the topic, but it seems problematic that the two titles differ only in capitalization! Cpastern (talk) 14:37, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tree Onion vs. Tree onion 

message: Top setting onions are sometimes preferred in dry climates as being less demanding of water than other onions. In such locations a bulb near the roots might not be produced in a long hot growing season, even when irrigation is provided. The young green leaves may be the intended crop, and the top sets can be more reliable for propagation than seed producing onions that might not flower in the climate. Top setting onions can be found thriving in locations where other onions don't survive.  Astrojed (talk) 00:19, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Allium drummondii

message: This article has no references. The source of the "Uses" information, particularly in reference to the large amount of inulin in Allium drummondii, is needed.  Natural sources of inulin include garlic, a relative, but Wikipedia inulin article does not reference Drummond's onion( Allium drummondii ). Somebody slipped...
This statement, " a non-reducing sugar that humans cannot digest. " may be accurate but leads to incorrect conclusion that Drummond's onion is not edible in raw form.  Not true.  Inulin is metabolized in the colon and, consequently, can cause flatulence.  IOW, eat it raw and one might stink up the air as much as this article does.
No information is better than *bad* information. Articles that claim X &|R Y *must* have references of at least some inestimable quality.  If references cannot be found, I suggest removing the article or, at least, the entire "Uses" block. ( and yes I looked but did not find any reference indicating any truth to the claims.)

Talk:Allium ampeloprasum

message: The section "Vernacular names" conflates two issues: the various cultivated vegetables (cultivars?) and the vernacular names. The raises the question of, e.g., whether இராகூச்சிட்டம் is a different cultivar from the leek, elephant garlic, pearl onion, and kurrat, or simply a local name for one of those. I would suggest perhaps renaming the section to "Cultivated vegetables and vernacular names", reducing the number of bullets in this list to the four (?) common cultivars, and putting the local vernacular names within those list items. If iraakuuccittam is a different cultivar, then an article in English should call it that, with the Tamil script in parentheses, not the other way around. My comment applies to all of the names that are in non-Latin scripts: they should be transliterated for easy readability by English speakers.
