Talk:Ugli fruit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ugli fruit's second edit removed details (description of the fruit), links (to citrus, Jamaica, etc), and NPOV (went from describing the physical appearance of the fruit to talking about its taste (So sweet and juicy! And easy to peel!).
Reverted to earlier version, with one caveat: both versions of the page included text stating that the fruit was available throughout the winter and the spring, without clarifying the region with respect to which the seasons were relevant.
This was a greater problem with the second page than the first, since the second page emphasized sales over North America and Europe, while the first only mentioned the source, Jamaica, allowing the presumption that the seasons were relative to Jamaica.
It might be prudent to replace this with the actual months of availability, as more generally applicable, and requiring less thought on the part of a reader.
The second page did make the point that UGLI (R) is a registered trademark of Cabel Hall Citrus Ltd., and this should probably be incorporated into the article.
The second page also bears considerable similarity to text from http://www.ugli.com/home.html , though not to the extent of being a complete copy/paste (unless it was from an earlier version of the page).
I did take the step of informing the original author of the page regarding the changes.
Found a page http://whatscookingamerica.net/UgliFruit.htm that gives the actual months of availability, as I suggested above. The site also claims that the fruit is seedless, so I am including that.
http://eat.epicurious.com/dictionary/food/index.ssf?DEF_ID=4359 claims that pomelo may be the other half w/the tangerine, which is also implied by the exotic tangelo labeling given the fruit by the distributor.
http://www.internationalrecipesonline.com/recipes/dictionary.pl?7096 makes the same claim with identical text : looks like Wikipedia isn't the only aggregator that ought to be on a more careful lookout for copyvio, though I suppose they could be single-sourced legitimately.
i just ate an ugli fruit, and it definitely has seeds!
