[edit] Picture
Do we have any better pictures of any of the national variants of dumplings beside the picture of somebody's kid that is currently featured? I know people love posting personal photos to Wikipedia, but you can hardly see the dumplings in that picture. -Pravit (talk) 19:29, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Nothing from South America/Mexico on here...depending on how you classify them. Tamales, for one. Both corn husk and banana leaves are used as wrappings. Empanadas... Also pasties from Cornwall, UK. OK, can't think of any others off of the top of my head.
Are there any African dumplings?
[edit] Dumpling vs Pie
What is the difference between a dumpling and a pie? My understanding is that a pie is baked and dumpling is boiled. Should the distinction be reflected in the article? --GS 14:12, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
- There are other distinctions. For example, a pie is always constructed of a crust and a filling, while many dumplings are either pure dough, or have the filling mixed fairly evenly throughout the dough. Haeleth 20:22, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
I have to say that dumplings can be baked sometimes, as to achieve a crispiness, rather than the usual softness.
20:22, March 22, 2006 (GMT)
However, if you read the article, the common content and dough form of a dumbling is different to that of a pie. For example, you get steak and kidney pie yet you do not get a dumpling filled with this same matter. Dumblings are more centralized around vegetables than pies, although they do often contain both.(from EBD) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.185.125 (talk) 16:56, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Merge?
A user has suggested that a specific kind of dumpling be merged into this article. I would point out that several other types have there own articles already adn oppose this merge. Rmhermen 22:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge.
I would argue that Karanji will likely never grow to be more than a stub. I vote to merge and add a comment in the discussion section that, if a considerable amount of additional information is found, it should become a separate article. --67.140.54.241 02:36, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unreferenced
I added the "unreferenced" tag to this article because it does not have a single reference. There are many assertions of fact here that need to be supported by a reference. Also, there are sentences which are not really written in encyclopedic tone. An example is:
- Savoury dumplings made from balls of dough are part of traditional British cuisine, and make up a filling meal in winter.
It's a lovely sentence for a cook-book as it conjures up a nice image of sitting by a roaring fire, with snow falling outside... but it is not really relevant to an encyclopedia. Surely the dumplings are just as filling in the summer? I'm no expert on dumplings, so I trust that more regular contributors to this article will be able to provide some references and clean-up far more easily that I.

- It's been almost a year now. I'm tempted to put this article up for deletion. Shinobu (talk) 17:08, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup tag
I have added a clean up tag for more or less the same reasons the unreferenced tag is on the article. Leaderofearth 09:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
The german word Klöße is exactly the same as the english word dumpling, there is no difference at all. So you should merge that article about german dumplings with this article, there is no reason für a separate article. Dinah from Germany --217.87.231.25 (talk) 11:29, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
