Talk:Province of Cuneo

message: I have removed Province of Cuneo from the category Wine regions of Italy. Only a very small proportion of the province is a wine region, namely Roero and the lower part of the Langhe. Because both Roero and Langhe belong to the category Wine regions of Italy, the presence of Province of Cuneo there is both misleading and redundant.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Piedmont (talk • contribs) 12:11, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I read in a travel book about Tenerife (spanish island): The Dwarf Cavendish variety cannot be exported due to EU export regulations  - can someone explain why???
it says majority bananas are taken by Spain?. - does this mean that this banana can be exported from the canary island to mainland spain, but not beyond the EU?

Talk:Musella lasiocarpa

message: Ensete lasiocarpum (as Musa lasiocarpa) was described in 1889; the Bananas: An American History reference is about 1841. So was this the same species, or just some (possibly unknown) species with a similar common/commercial name? (unsigned comment by User:Hamamelis,  11:34, 9 March 2013‎)
:Firstly Ensete lasiocarpum (syn. Musella lasiocarpa) does not produce edible bananas; only a couple of Musa species and a hybrid do so. Ensete buds and roots are eaten, not the fruits, which are full of seeds. So this species could not be called a "cooking-banana".
:Secondly, there is a cultivar 'Dwarf Williams' which is also known as 'Dwarf Chinese'; it's one of the Cavendish banana cultivars. However, 1841 seems to be rather early for its introduction to Florida.

message: I marked the statement as dubious because I have loved mangos for decades now, and particularly an offshoot variety of the Tommy Atkins that I can get imported up in Philadelphia from Mexico once a year.  This is a huge region of the USA, by itself probably close to the 20% figure (Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, southern Jersey combined has got to be over 30m), and I doubt the rest of the USA is completely without the option to buy other cultivars. I'd like to see a current and authoritative source that says they are sold in 80% of the usa and the uk outside of the growing regions of florida and hawaii. Actually, I almost wouldnt, because all that would do is prove the source unreliable. This was possibly true in the 1980s, but certainly not today. (Here, the common ones are Bombays. Other fairly common ones are like tiny tommies, and the best ones I can get except the once a year ones from mexico are the molgoba-types from peru, mexico, and other places .. and a really sweet one from india that sells for $5 a pop.) --— robbie page talk 00:39, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Leopold Tyrmand

message: I removed the part about his Jewish ancestry. It's a fact, but at this stage of article development, by itself it seems non-notable. There might be some sources out there which dwell upon the subject but I'm not sure if there's any reliable ones that bother with it.
As another aside, I recall reading an interview with Zbigniew Herbert somewhere where he's being very critical of pretty much all kinds of Polish intellectuals and writers (God bless that cynical Mr. Cogito) but also says that Tyrmand was the only writer/intellectual of that period he ever respected, even though when they were emigres, Tyrmand kept messing with Herbert by insisting that Poland'd be better off as a Soviet republic (tongue in cheek of course, given that Tyrmand was probably more anti-communist than Herbert himself). Anyway, "Zly" needs an article (especially since it's one of the few Polish literature classics that has been adequately translated into English) and this article needs serious expansion.

message: More than 90% of the focus of this page is on fighting between the English colonists in America and the Native Americans.  While this is of course an important part of Native American history, it seems reasonable to point out that there was clearly much more that occurred in history, world-wide, during this entire year; and yet nothing of it is mentioned.
It seems pretty obvious that the article is intentionally-biased in a way to emphasize only the fighting in the colonies which occurred at that time involving the Native Americans.

I know for a fact the the G80 is an automatic locker (approx. 6mph difference fly-weight activated finger that swings up and latches both spider gears together).  I have the G80 code, and I've had my rear and appart and it's not a LSD, its a true locker.  In fact, the G80 rear end isn't even a rare option among most chevy trucks.  I have owned 3 ZR2s myself and they all had G80 lockers, and if you visit zr2usa.com and read through the drivetrain section, you will find that ALL ZR2s got the G80 locker.

message: This is what the article said, 
Common names include box (majority of English-speaking countries) or boxwood (North America).Only the wood as a material is "boxwood" in British English
I could find no reference to either of the two assertions of where the two names are used. I checked three dictionaries, and all of them give both "box" and "boxwood" as names for the plant. The Oxford English Dictionary (1888), Merrium-Webster's (1934), and Random House (1966), all agree. All three will mark words, either "chiefly British" or "chiefly U.S." The absence of such a designation means they all three are asserting "boxwood" is used in British English to name the plant.
