message: It seems like there's undue emphasis on hardtack being eaten during The Civil War but not The Revolutionary War.  I once saw on Chronicle that hardtack was a main part of colonist's and soldier's diets during that time period.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.211.247.174 (talk) 21:17, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

message: The Canada section of the article includes: “Canada is one Canadian maker of traditional hardtack.” This does not make sense to me. It used to say “Canawa” rather than “Canada” until the edit .  However, I’m not reverting that because I’m not sure that “Canawa” is right either. It is not cited and I find very little info about Canawa on the Web so it does not seem worth listing as the first thing in the Canada section. 2001:999:60:B2D7:3153:1CF9:2A4E:4AD7 (talk) 20:58, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

message: Cocket bread is a one-line permastub about which all that seems to be known is that it seems to be a kind of hardtack. BD2412 T 02:35, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Another possibility, if any action at all is to be deemed appropriate, could be to merge the contents of Cocket bread back into Cocket (the article from whence it came, according to the page history). Jim Grisham (talk) 17:18, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

text: Two thoughts on that. First, I have proposed for Cocket itself to be merged to Seal (emblem), as it is merely a type of seal. Second, the only relationship between Cocket and Cocket bread is that the bread is apparently stamped with a seal. The bread itself is bread, and specifically a kind of hardtack.

message: I see 3 or more different things in the photos. A cracker (US Civil War photo), a cookie (circa 1852) and bread (Purity). Hard to tell exactly what the Japanese and Lithuanian things are. Are these different things that all just happen to be called "hardtack". Nurg (talk) 05:24, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hard tack generically refers to a hard bread made to be a dense, long lasting, form of calories for rough times with many variations of attributes, recipes, and looks so yes they can be considered hard tack. Woolmadj (talk) 16:54, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

message: Good morning Wikipedians,
I've gone through the page and updated a few things that I think are pretty important to the quality of this page. I'll probably run through the page thoroughly to update things once I find more primary and secondary sources. I updated Reference 1 to link to an article on hardtack from Encyclopedia Virginia, an affiliate of the University of Virginia. While it technically only references the civil war version of the biscuit, it does give a description of what hardtack is from a secondary source, rather than the perplexing website that it previously led to which I can only assume to be someone's ancient blog. 
I've also updated the section talking about victualing hardtack in the British Navy to include the proper year Samuel Pepys was actually appointed to victual rations for the Royal Navy, with primary sources from the Oxford Dictionary National Biography on Pepys and secondary sources from the Royal Museums Greenwich. 
I'm planning on updating the info on the G.H. Bent Company, as it does not currently operate anymore, the original building being converted into a mixed office space (sad, I know). The building still physically stands, but as of at least 2023 and at the earliest 2016 (the time the article sourced was written), Bent's no longer exists the building is owned by Falconi Companies.

message: A section on the methods and history of production might be good to add, even if it's only a paragraph or two. I know Wikipedia is not a cookbook but a non-recipe summary would be nice to have. rtrb (talk) 17:01, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
