message: I don't think this fruit is related to this genus. The inside looks more like an Anona. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.143.106.185 (talk) 12:50, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

message: ITIS still use Psidium cattleianum as the valid name, stating P. littorale (and others) as being a synonym:What's the real deal here? Tommy Kronkvist talk contribs 08:36, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Simple: ITIS is obsolete, much of the information in it has not been updated in the last decade. Bottom line: only use ITIS if there is no other source available. And do not use ITIS entries where no revision date is given at all. And do not use ITIS whenever you have doubt that all taxa are listed (often, it lists North American taxa only).

message: Is it true that the Hindi word "amrood" comes from guava? It's a surprising claim. 206.208.105.129 (talk) 18:50, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Although it is true that people in Hawaii eat the guava with soy sauce and spices, it is also true that they also eat it plain which I think should be noted in the article. I think it would also be interesting to note in the article that Hawaii manufactures guava jelly and jam. I'll include these points in the article after approval from a second opinion.

message: From the article:
"The most frequently encountered species, and the one often simply referred to as "the guava", is the Apple Guava (Psidium guajava).[citation needed]"
This claim surely can't be universally true.  I'm sure it's true in some places.  I live in NZ and we have heaps of guava trees here; but I've never seen an apple guava, so it's not "the most frequently encountered".  Perhaps someone could modify this by saying where the apple guava is most commonly encountered?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.216.30.112 (talk) 00:19, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

message: The wide variation and distribution of guava warrants different names which can be better collected here. The article should not be burdened by lists of all possible non-English terms. --Zefr (talk) 14:26, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

message: It says the word comes from Arawak guayabo, but the Arawak article doesn't list g in the 'phonology' or 'writing system' sections. Anybody who knows Arawak and can clarify this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.26.147.201 (talk) 08:42, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Guava's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 23:50, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
