[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)

[edit] Synonyms

I got to this page by searching for 'rhodymenia': Rhodymenia palmata redirects here, but that name does not appear on the page except in the titles of some older references. I understand that this synonym (and the other forty or so listed here are now not used and should be replaced by the current taxonomic name. But if the older term gets me to the page, it is odd that it doesn't appear on the page. Is there an agreed way for handling synonyms on WP pages? --ColinFine 09:25, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Common name /Botanical name

I believe all algae should be entered under their botanical name inculuding Dulse which is well known. Do you all agree? what is your view. Osborne 20:09, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes agreed, can an admin please move this article to Dulse?--Sonjaaa (talk) 23:31, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

The botanical name of Dulse is Palmaria palmata. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Osborne (talk • contribs) 21:24, 22 November 2007 (UTC) You may be interested to see:- http://www.algaebase.org/search/species/detail/?species_id=1&-session=abv4:521DF4031b64f34106WrTJ7AC815
