thread_title:  Taste? 

message: "Even though Tomatillos are sometimes called "green tomatoes", they should never be confused with green, unripe tomatoes, because these could be poisonous because of their content of solanine."
Which is poisonous? The tomatillo or green, unripe tomatoes? Grammatically, the sentence implies that it is green tomatoes. However, since the next few sentences talk about the tomatillo plant having mostly toxic and inedible parts, this should be clarified. Also, checking this on the tomatoe article does not confirm this. There is mention of toxicity, but only as a MYTH or URBAN LEGEND. There is nothing stating that tomatoes, in their green and unripe form, are toxic. There is, however, talk of an old belief that tomatoes were poisonous. Hmmm. Coincidently, fried-green tomatoes is a well-known dish and the article on that item also has no mention of toxicity or anything. This should be cleared up.

message: The Names section includes the following:
"In Tamil its called "MaNn Thakkali" (a is silent in Mann) - soil tomato. Its traditionally used for treating sour mouth, ulcer in South India."
I'm pretty sure Mann Thakkali is actually the Tamil name for Black Nightshade (Solanum Nigrum), a related but different plant with its own entry. 
If this can be confirmed this reference should probably be removed.

thread_title:  Photo formatting issue 

message: A recent edit removed links to commercial sites describing various varieties of tomatillo, with the edit summary "Varieties: rv commercial sources per WP:PROMO". I don't believe those links count as PROMO, as the linked-to pages include useful descriptions and photos of the varieties. And without those pages, what WP:RS do we have for the existence and characteristics of the varieties? WP:EL explicitly allows links to e-commerce sites (WP:ELPOINTS) in footnotes when they have useful, complementary information. It seems to me that we should restore those links. --Macrakis (talk) 18:59, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I do understand that good sources for tomatillo varieties are rare, but there are some, such as this and this. I think we should avoid commercial sites because they tend to emphasize seed sales on their pages, a case of WP:PROMO. --Zefr (talk) 19:17, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The WP WP:PROMO policy doesn't say we shouldn't link to pages that promote sales. It says that we shouldn't use external links in order to promote sales. If the best source of information about something is a commercial page, that's fine. If you can find better sources, even better! --Macrakis (talk) 20:04, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
