replies: text: Muffin →  – The word "muffin" means different things to English speakers around the world. In the U.K. it will normally be interpreted to mean an English muffin, and in the U.S. it will be normally interpreted to mean an American-style muffin. Therefore the logical thing to do is move this page to "Muffin (cupcake)" and have a disambiguation page for the page "Muffin" pointing to the various types of bun available. This proposal is in response to some of the comments above, so I am putting this proposal forward as well. Note that I have also suggested that "English muffin" be moved to "Muffin (bread)". I would also like to point out, in response to comments that American-style muffins are now more common than English muffins, that (speaking as someone from the UK) American-style muffins are most often seen in American coffee-shops such as Starbucks, so I would hardly call this as indicative of English culture, even if the presence of so many American coffee companies in the UK obviously has an effect on our culture in the long term. Obviously, context is also important, so in a coffee-shop (in the UK) such as Starbucks, when a British person says the word "muffin" there isn't a need to explain which kind of muffin is being talked about, but again, this isn't really representative of English culture in general, considering Starbucks is an American company.

text: Two people above mentioned that the parenthetical part "American-style" was not suitable, and one person suggested "cupcake" instead. I wanted to put forward an alternative proposal and get a vote for that as well (considering the voting eventually just boils down to "Yes" or "No"). This seems logical, and reasonable. Your own contributions, on the other hand, have so far been to point out that "words can have different meanings", and then to tell someone to get lost ("if reading comprehension is an issue for you, maybe you shouldn't be chiming in here"), and then to name call (i.e. calling me a "troll" and so on).Betrand russell 0 (talk) 15:43, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't say that the bready sort of muffins are rarely seen in the UK. Down my local supermarket I find the Chocolate muffins and blueberry muffins on a shelf next to the buns and other cakes, if I turn 180 degrees I see (next to the crumpets) the bread muffins - value muffins, all butter muffins, cheese & onion muffins, and cinnamon & sultana muffins.GraemeLeggett (talk) 22:48, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

message: In view of this page being semi-protected, I'm suggesting a re-write rather than just doing the BOLD thing. I feel the current distinction here between “muffins” and “English muffins” may work in the US, but not elsewhere; so I suggest re-organizing the page with a more neutral division between flatbread and quickbread varieties. If there are no objections I will do that in a couple of days. Moonraker12 (talk) 10:34, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

message: Quote: The word "muffin" is thought to derive from the German mouffin.
This comes from me being a native German: "mouffin" is not a german word. Written that way I'd not even know how to pronounce it. Looks french to me. Please add "citation needed" or remove that sentence.
Check these German dictionary resources:
https://de.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?search=mouffin&title=Spezial%3ASuche&go=Seite&ns0=1
quote "Zu deiner Suchanfrage wurden keine Ergebnisse gefunden." meaning "There have been no results to your search query."

quote "mouffin liefert keine Ergebnisse." meaning "mouffin doesn't yield any results."

replies: text: For edit requests, you generally need to make a precise request.  In this case, though, I simply removed this statement as dubious – there's already a better etymology given earlier in the article with which it conflicted anyway.  –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 02:46, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

message: While part of me finds it difficult to imagine such a thing as an official state muffin, it surely exists as a category. Which leads me to ask, are there more than just those three official state muffins (Massachusetts, Minnesota and New York) for which links to Wikipedia articles are provided? And if so, would some enterprising Wikipedian be sufficiently motivated to start a page called Official State Muffin?

thread_title:  Official State Muffin 

message: It's obvious to me from looking at the previous discussions, as well as even the first revision of this page created all the way back in 2003, that this article is intended to be about the American-style muffins. The problem is that this article has become a sort of "catch all" page now that talks about both the US and UK variety of muffins, even while there is already a dedicated English muffin article for that specific variety. There's now an ongoing discussion about merging the poppyseed muffin article into this one, so while that's going on, I was thinking about using this opportunity to be WP:BOLD and move all of the UK variety content from this article into the existing English muffin article but then I figured I'd start a discussion here before doing so in case anyone wants to object first. --TheSameGuy (talk) 05:36, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I support the proposed split. It's a similar problem as what faces Biscuit and Biscuit (bread). There probably needs to be a move discussion about the final titles for each page but the split can be implemented in the meantime. Ibadibam (talk) 05:32, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

text: Support, makes sense.  --Lord Belbury (talk) 13:58, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

text: No, I disagree. It is obvious to me, looking at the same discussions (here and in the archive, and at the other talk page) and over the (looong!) edit histories of both these pages, that the issue of what to call these things is pretty divisive. I think the current arrangement, which gives information on both products in a way that avoids labelling them English or American, or (as with the present proposal) simply appropriating the term for one particular style, presents the subject in what is, I hope, a neutral and non-judgemental manner. If it is anomalous that we have a separate page on the English Muffin, then the better thing to do would be to merge it to here, and redirect that title to the flatbread section of this article. Any thoughts on that? Moonraker12 (talk) 17:54, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

text: I agree with ; I am not at all in favour of the balkanization of articles, which practice is like a plague here, sometimes with ludicrous result. English as a language has an affinity for using single words to describe multiple (usually two), at times diverse things but with a thread of a connection, and there's no reason why we shouldn't have articles that cover the different senses of these words, like biscuit or muffin. The individual senses can have their own subarticles too, with more detail in their main articles. There seem to be a common misguided notion that not a sentence of content may be duplicated on this encyclopaedia, and that just isn't so. Overlapped content between articles is good. It is entire articles' content showing up in multiple places that should be kept at minimum. 2600:1702:4960:1DE0:10BA:9558:7F4:32F (talk) 13:08, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

text: Also, there shouldn't be any pushing of the idea, implicit or otherwise, that the word "muffin" has different meaning in England and America. Both kinds are called muffins in both countries;  the one kind may be called "English" muffins in America, but every other type of muffin also requires some descriptor - there's no such thing as a "plain muffin" (unless it's a plain English muffin). 2600:1702:4960:1DE0:10BA:9558:7F4:32F (talk) 13:25, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Split English muffin content out of this article? 

message: Can somebody please edit the first paragraph to read “a quickbread” instead of “an quickbread”? The sentence should read correctly absent the parenthetical. It’s actually preferable to remove the parentheses, they’re really not necessary. 2601:183:C180:9F0:8C38:C5AF:43E5:D8C6 (talk) 12:47, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
