[edit] Issues with article

This article has several issues with it. First off, it mentions that Etrog is Hebrew, when it fact it is Aramaic. The correct Hebrew word is Tapuach (commonly but mistakenly translated as Apple). See Shir Hashirim 7:9, Targum on Tapuchim is Etroga. Also see מסכת שבת דף פח א תוס פריו, and Beer Mayim Chayim - Sdeh Tapuchim on Rashi Kerayach Sdeh on Bereshith 27:27. Furthermore, the Tapuach being the Citron is not universally accepted, Yeminites use a different type of fruit.

• • Yeminites use a different type of fruit for what? Ortho 03:35, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Ortho: Yeminities use a fruit that isn't a Citron for fullfilling their obligation to take a Pri Etz Hadar on Succoth. Nachman - 217.132.15.38 17:56, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

• • Nachman, I'm very familiar with the "Etrog Temany" (Yemenite Etrog). What is it if not a type of Citron? Ortho 00:10, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] relation to ingredient for bakery ?

Can anyone confirm that this fruit is used to produce the ingredient for bakery called "Sukkade" in german (translated by 'candied peel' by [1]) ?

if so, it would be nice to put a link on the corresponding wiki page [2], where there is no word found about it so far. I was quite ignorant about any possible relation between bakery and a jewish festivity, and think I am not the only ignorant one ;)

You can see that Etrog is Hebrew for citron which would turnout in German for [3]

[edit] Ancient Fruit

Why is the Yemenite more ancient than others? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.113.246.69 (talk) 14:47, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

This page should not have the {{taxobox}} infobox, but should instead have the cultivar infobox. The taxobox gives one the impression that this article is for the species Citrus medica when it's really for a cultivar of that species. --Rkitko ^(talk) 17:08, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Etrog

Hey, the source you requested is there. If you think anything else is not accurate you may request sources, but please note that not everything you didn't hear of means it is not correct. - CitricAsset (talk) 04:15, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Just a glance at the "diagram" of an etrog's "anatomy" that you introduced is enough to show that you don't have a clue. The terms are "oketz" and "hotam" - not "uketz" and "hotem." The English is also substandard. My attempts were to make the article sound more professional. If you insist on making it sound idiotic, be my guest.--Gilabrand (talk) 05:46, 27 February 2008 (UTC)--Gilabrand (talk) 06:15, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

I tried to fulfill your request, any other issues? - CitricAsset (talk) 05:02, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

You fixed the diagram, but not the text of the article. Also, a blog is not a valid source, and the English needs serious editing.--Gilabrand (talk) 05:54, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

(User:CitricAsset) made a great job doing a digest from important rabbinical sources, he shouldn't get regreted, but appreciated. If the grammar is bad, it is not so difficult to correct it. I'll give a try soon.
