[edit] Image
Onco_p53 — nice taxobox, and the image looks quite handsome along the left like that, but you seem unsure about the identity. (I am strictly a land animal and have no idea myself.) I think the image should only be here if we're confident enough to label it as dulse. What do you think? — Pekinensis 22:05, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
- Well, I didnt add the image, and if you go to the external link to algaeBASE I added the picture there is totally different. I'll remove it. Onco p53 00:28, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
- OK my mistake. I did add the image by mistake when I was coping some of the taxbox code. Sorry. Onco p53 00:38, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Sourcing, and need for a re-write
The article cited as the basis for this article is from the Grand Manan Tourism Association, Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club: http://www.grandmanannb.com/dulse.htm
However, that article seems to be cribbed from this one from Elements Online Environmental Magazine: http://www.elements.nb.ca/theme/ethnobotany/dulse/dulse.htm
The second one seems more detailed. I would re-write, but I know nothing about dulse (other than that it is red, salty, tasty, and sometimes spelled dulce). Does anyone know enough about this substance to re-write with some authority? Epastore 00:01, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I am trying to rewrite it, however it would probably be better to completely rewrit it that improve the quality of the English! However I'll try. Osborne 16:22, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Name
Does its name come from the Latin word for sweet?
- A good guess... it sounds like the Spanish and Italian dulce. But Merriam-Webster and American Heritage say it is from the Scottish Gaelic duileasg, akin to Old Irish duilesc and Welsh delysg, which apparently mean... dulse. :) Epastore 00:38, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
