thread_title:  "Dragee" = "coated tablet" 

message: I am sure I am not the only one to come to this article because of Tchaikovsky's Danse de la Fee-Dragée. The usual modern translation is "sugar plum". Were sugared plums dragees too? Only if dipped in a hard enough coating? Would be nice to see the holiday confection at least mentioned, if anyone has information to share about it. TaigaBridge (talk) 00:09, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

message: The claim about "dragati" originating in Rome comes from a candy website with zero citations. 24.18.226.231 (talk) 01:57, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I've looked up the name "Julius Dragatus" in the PW:RE (a classical encyclopaedia which contains near enough *all* ancient Romans of *any* note whatsoever, even those mentioned one time in only one extant text), and found nothing. Likewise, I've searched the root "dragat"- in the PHI and TLG (corpuses of nearly all latin and greek ancient texts), and found nothing. I've also searched "julius dragatus" in a database of academic articles (SOLO - the Bodleian library search tool), and again found zero references. I don't think the claim about Julius Dragatus is true (and if it *is*, it needs a much better source). 86.8.30.107 (talk) 21:41, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poor quality sources 

message: I'm an Arab and I've never heard this in my life. Just to double check, I tried searching for Arabic sources mentioning this and could find nothing. I could only find this claim in English language blog-style websites without any citation, all using the same vague phrasing. It feels like a factoid that just got repeated round and round in circles. Could we get a better source for this? Something more academic, or specific (where in the Middle East? Turkey? Iran? the Levant? among Bedouins, villagers, or urban dwellers?) or just something from a Middle-Eastern-language source showing that this belief actually IS known within the region. It's possible that I missed something in Farsi or Turkish. Cheers! Lordesdentist (talk) 16:34, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
