message: "... trellis gates or fences, or made ...". Two "or"s within a list is not grammatically correct. If you have it there to have a difference between "gates or fences", might as well just go with gates, seeing as trellis fences are just lined up gates, which isn't really a fence, just a positioning. End Result: "... trellis gates, or made ..." 65.116.31.66 (talk) 01:28, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

message: The etymology refers to reliable dictionaries, and also to Think Baby Names.  The latter claims that the name comes from Old French "jasmin".  OED supports neither this spelling in Old French, nor the derivation from Old French, so I've removed the claim. Groogle (talk) 00:22, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Etymology

message: "The etymology refers to reliable dictionaries" -- whatever the text says, just take a look at truly reliable dictionaries in both languages and you'll find what they give for the flower: 
Arabic ياسمين ‎(yāsmīn), from the Fārsi ياسمين ‎(yāsmin), not this yâsmînâ, that is more or less the derived female name Yāsmīna in Arabic and Yāsminā in Fārsi. And "Think Baby Names" is not that reliable outside the English, typically French and perhaps 95% of the Hebrew fields. 193.253.141.83 (talk) 22:05, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, you are wrong, Yasmin is used in Persian and other Persian forms of this word. in fact, Yasmin entered Arabic without any change.It seems that you are not familiar with the Arabic language at all, because this word is also used in the form of Yasmin in Arabic.

text: Yes, in Farsi, Yasmina Nair is used in a newer form, maybe a century ago, which is one of the many Persian forms of this Persian word, considering that the letter "A" was always used at the end of words in Farsi, it was not a strange thing.  .  English origin?!  Hebrew root?!  French roots?!  This word entered French in the form of Jadmin and later entered English and... the modern Persian forms that even use this word have nothing to do with languages ​​other than Persian itself.

thread_title:  In popular culture 

message: "Jasmine tea is consumed in China, where it is called jasmine-flower tea (茉莉花茶; pinyin: mò lì huā chá). Jasminum sambac flowers are also used to make jasmine tea..."
Several issues here...jasmine tea is also "consumed" in Japan.  I have no idea which country first flavored their tea with jasmine, but there it is.  
Second, the statement I quoted from the text (see above) is a mess.  Apparently, Jasminum sambac is different from the aforementioned jasmine tea as "consumed" in China since the author says "are also used."  Therefore, it needs to state which variety is used in the tea made in China.
I grew up drinking jasmine tea in the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.  That jasmine tea was distinctly different from many kinds now available, definitely a different variety of jasmine.  The quoted text is not really informative but only raises questions.
I personally would like to know the varieties of jasmine used in the various teas, and I'm sure that others who are fans of jasmine tea would like that information as well.  This needs to be fixed because Jasminum sambac is not the only variety used.  Zlama (talk) 08:46, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Uses of the fruit?? 

message: The small picture on the right of the page labelled 'common jasmine' is certainly NOT that. It has large simple leaves, while common jasmine, Jasminum officinale. has pinnate leaves. The one in the picture could perhaps be J. elongatum, but I am no taxonomist! Perhaps someone who feels responsible for this page could fix it? 2A01:CB1D:2E:3500:C5BD:1B5B:1092:DAA7 (talk) 04:59, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
