[edit] Information sources

I removed these from the article's link section. Information from sources should be incorporated into and cited in the article. Editors wishing to use these sources can access them from here; they should not be added back to the article as just links. Ham Pastrami (talk) 10:55, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

• Olive oil "acts like painkiller."

[edit] Remaining extlinks

I am removing these links since there has been no comment. Ham Pastrami (talk) 04:37, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Museum links

I'm not sure why these are here. Do these websites offer information about olive oil that cannot be found in other sources? If so, put the information in the article and cite them. If not, they shouldn't be linked to. If the museums themselves are of interest, they should be discussed in the article in some way, not simply promoted with links.

[edit] unctad.org

I can't even tell what this site is for. Ham Pastrami (talk) 11:00, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Main producing countries

The section "Global market: The main producing countries are:" lists countries whose production stats are given as nil. Can this be clarified, or corrected. 217.44.210.7 (talk) 13:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Good point. Those countries do have significant consumption, and I have changed the text above the table to reflect that. Grafen (talk) 21:52, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
