thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This entire section of the article has many date inaccuracies. For example, it states "By the 15th century AD, cauliflower had developed leading also to the emergence of broccoli in Italy about 100 years later" however broccoli was cultivated in Italy over 2,000 years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broccoli and cauliflower was cultivated well before the 15th century https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauliflower.  It also states "Further selection in Belgium in lateral bud led to the Brussels sprout in the 18th century" which is also inaccurate as they were cultivated in the 13th century https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels_sprout.  The citation for this section leads to a dead link. Div750 (talk) 06:36, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Impact of preference 

message: I think the way this section is worded can be a bit misleading as it doesn't clarify how a plant that is not native to the Americas came to be used in "traditional" Native American medicine.  More information about when the plant was brought to the Americas and when it became part of Lumbee tradition is needed.  This plant has been used medicinally by many people for thousands of years, and it would be good to see this section fleshed out with a more complete history.  For example, in ancient times Galen and Cato the Elder wrote about the medicinal uses of broccoli. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-13190376 Div750 (talk) 08:18, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  The name: "wild mustard"? 

message: The section tagged "dubious" in the "Genetics in relation to taste" section contains two minor inaccuracies. First, "brassica" can refer to either the genus Brassica or the family Brassicaceae, so it's not incorrect to say "the brassica family." Second, the statement that "chemical compounds do not resemble each other" is patently false. The entire concept of the pharmacophore is based on molecules being similar enough to endogenous ligands that they activate the same receptors, so in this way two different chemicals can certainly resemble each other in the sense meant here.
