Mango[edit]
When I found this article I cleaned it up a bit and added some information. I would like to know if there is anything that I missed or can add to help bring this article closer to FA status. Tarret 23:15, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
- Wow, I feel thoroughly educated on mangoes now! Looking at the diffs, that's some good work. I presume the references at the start of each section are to note that all the information in that section comes from that origin, but I think if it were to progress on to featured article candidacy it would need more specific referencing, even if that consists of multiple citations of the same reference. You touched on fair trade: does this mean that the bulk of mangoes are harvested by human labour? Given the height of the tree, how do they do it? And all the rest of the article was very clear, but I got a bit lost in the methods of eating them. The note about lemon-rolling passed me completely, because I don't know how one normally rolls a lemon (or why, come to think of it). --A newly-informed Telsa 18:46, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- The 'how to eat a mango' sections should be killed, IMHO; Wikipedia is not an instruction manual or a cookbook. I'm not clear on the relationship between cultivars and species: are all the listed cultivars types of M indica? Also the footnote references are odd- they should be after the point they are being used to support, not before. Mark1 15:25, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- Good point on the allocation of cvs to the species; I don't know the answer (if I did, I'd have put it in!). I suspect most will be derived from M. indica, but some may be derived from other species (the Filipino and Indonesian cultivars are obvious candidates for derivation from other species), and/or hybrids between different species. Useful info is hard to come by, though. The world trade figures need checking; does "approximately 326,000 tons" refer to metric tons (tonnes; 1000 kg, which is what we should be using), long tons (1016 kg), or short tons (907 kg)? - MPF 15:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
