[edit] Family
Welsh onion is grown for leaves too. What about leeks? are they in the same family? -- Oct 2002, Tarquin
- Welsh onions and leeks are in the same family, indeed the same genus, Allium. -- WormRunner | Talk 06:53, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Content problem
In the section History and Folklore in the first part it is said that Marco Polo brought chives from China to Europe. But later it is said that Romans (who lived some 1000 years before Marco Polo) believed that chives had this and that medical usage. So the content is self inconsistant.--Philopp 12:41, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
- I've removed the inconsistencies - MPF 15:18, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Japanese and Chinese cuisine
There was a paragraph about Japanese and Chinese cuisine in the article before i rewrote it, I couldn't find any references for that claim, all I found related to Chinese chives, which is a completely different species.
