Talk:Mayhaw

message: The following information used to be included on this page and needs to be placed on the individual species pages that it refers to:
:Mayhaw is the name given to the fruit of three species of hawthorn that are common in wetlands throughout the southern United States.
:Mayhaws grow in moist soil in river and creek bottoms under hardwood trees. 
:The fruit ripens in late April through May, thus the name mayhaw. The fruit is also found in bayous surrounding lakes, such as Caddo Lake on the Texas/Louisiana border. Mayhaws are often collected out of the water from boats to be used to make jelly. Mayhaw jelly is considered by some to be among the finest jellies in the world. 
:Families used to go on outings to collect mayhaws and create stockpiles of the jelly to last throughout the year, but the tradition has declined as with the increasing urbanization of the South and the destruction of the mayhaw's native habitat. The fruit has also been cultivated to grow outside of wetlands and this is increasing the source of the jelly. 
:As a celebrated delicacy of Southern U.S. cuisine, many communities associate themselves with the fruit: for example, Colquitt, Georgia, is considered the Mayhaw capital of the world, and El Dorado, Arkansas, celebrates a mayhaw festival each May.

message: Increasingly, the black chokeberry (aronia melanocarpa) is referred to as an aronia berry and that's how it's marketed when sold as a food product or dietary supplement due to its high antioxidant properties (which were discovered in 2004).
Should there be a separate page just for these aronia berries? If not, how can we make this page clearer?
Ketinker (talk) 03:49, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. In general, every species is given its own page, so Aronia melanocarpa would be that page, changed from the redirect that it now is. The reason it doesn't exist is probably due to some confusion about whether there are two or three species in the genus, but there is plenty of information about that species for making a page.

Talk:Johnny Indrisano

message: The information about Joan Vardaro McMillan's forthcoming memoir, The Strega's Story, is highly
important to Indrisano's life and career, as it contains a great deal of biographical information
not currently in the public domain about him.  A version of McMillan's book is already available through ProQuest
and via the San Jose Public Library system (under the title La Storia di la Strega: The Strega's Story), as it was her MFA thesis, and is thus a legitimate published source of information about Indrisano.

Talk:Malus sieversii

message: "For many years, there was a debate about whether M. domestica evolved from chance hybridization among various wild species. Recent DNA analysis has indicated, however, that the hybridization theory is probably false.[3] Instead, it appears that a single species still growing in the Ili Valley, on the northern slopes of the Tien Shan mountains at the border of northwest China and Kazakhstan, is the progenitor of the apples we eat today. Leaves taken from trees in this area were analyzed for DNA composition, which showed them all to belong to the species M. sieversii, with some genetic sequences common to M. domestica.
However, another recent DNA analysis[4] showed that Malus sylvestris has also contributed to the genome of M. domestica. A third species that has been thought to have made contributions to the genome of the domestic apples is Malus baccata, but there is no hard evidence for this in older apple cultivars."
This is a contradiction. The article contradicts itself. 71.162.99.236 (talk) 00:19, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

message: There appears to be some confusion about who scored England's goals in the match against Wales on 29 March 1886.
TheFA.com and www.englandstats.com both credit the goals to George Brann, Fred Dewhurst & Andrew Amos.

www.englandfootballonline.com, however,  refers to Tinsley Lindley scoring in nine consecutive England matches between 13 March 1886 and 7 April 1888 which would imply that he scored in the Wales match.
Finally the match report at   refers to the scorers as Lindley, Dewhurst & Charles Bambridge

message: The article currently states that honeycrisps have larger cells, producing more juice because more cells are ruptured..  but basic geometry would insist that in order to have larger cells in the same volume, you must have fewer cells within the given area. It also follows that larger, fewer cells means a smaller ratio of cell-wall-matter (cellulose and all that) to juice (unless those cells had thicker walls or something), which would be what causes the additional juiciness.

Perhaps today a large company could take a rare heirloom and begin selling it through large distribution channels -- in this event, it would make sense to speak of its "introduction". But in 1813?
