[edit] Names
DanielCD, respectfully, because I know you do a lot of good work, I would like to ask why you moved the list of names to the "uses" section. It does not seem like an improvement to me, and I have reverted it, while retaining some other parts of your edit. — Pekinensis 22:07, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
I moved it there because it doesn't seem to make a good opening para. and the bold type is distracting. That's all. Didn't mean for it to be "uses", just moved it to the end where I usually put alternate name lists. I do a lot of plant edits and sometimes I make a blooper. whoops. I do like to put the sci. name cats first though. You can revert it if you disagree. --DanielCD 13:43, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lead poisoning
Apparently in Vietnam it has been poisoned with lead, and many people no longer eat it for that reason, believing it to be unsafe. Are there any sources in Vietnamese? Badagnani 06:47, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] How does it taste?
I read the entire article but there's no mention of it. I remember eating something that looked pretty much like this plant and it had an obnoxious, acrid taste somewhat reminiscent of rotten eggs (well, that's an exaggeration). It would be helpful if someone added a sentence like "Ipomoea aquatica is valued for its ___ taste" or something. Lysis rationale 03:17, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
