[edit] Bombay Sapphire?

Something's not right. The Bombay Sapphire article says it was introduced in 1987. What's the 1761 date refer to? Original Bombay Gin? Did that have cubeb as well? —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 21:12, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I am kinda puzzled as well. One ad says: "In the hottest cocktail bars, Bombay Sapphire is the first choice of many of the world's top mixologists. Based on a secret recipe which dates back to 1761, Bombay Sapphire's distinctive taste is unexpectedly clean, crisp and yet subtle,..." I suppose this 1761 recipe refers to Bombay Gin. The Bombay Sapphire site doesn't yield much further than the 1761 recipe did include cubeb berries along with juniper berries, et cetera. Please let me know if your further research tells otherwise. --BorgQueen 21:24, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arabic interlude

The following message has been copied from my talk page —

== كبابة and not كبابه == Hi BQueen! Sorry for the late reply! Anyway, this can serve for not only this case but for any other case related to Arabic. كبابه is more a spoken language than كبابة, which is more Modern Standard Arabic or Fusha, if you want. Academically speaking, كبابة is the right thing though I don't believe Cubeb got a lot of thing to do with Arabic. Anyway, and for personal reasons, you can compare MSA with Fusha (language) and Literary Arabic. Szvest 22:34, 9 January 2006 (UTC) Wiki me up™

I am making changes to the article accordingly... --BorgQueen 15:49, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article

Good content for the subject, well cited overall. I don't feel it's good enough yet to be featured, but good enough for good article status. Unless someone removes it, congrats.
