This article doesn't say what an ice cream sundae is! It just talks about the circumstances surrounding its introduction.

Fixed. --Arteitle 07:27, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)

And what about the pronuntiation? ['sΛndI]?

Ok, so I tried to clean this thing up somewhat. For the time being, I've removed the link to Geek Trivia: Sweetness and lies as it doesn't actually quote or say where Mencken admitted to his hoax. (Michael Turback's site gives part of a quote, but doesn't actually point to where Mencken said it, either.) -- User:MrBula 01:30, 27 July 2006

[edit] restoring information from The Ithaca Journal > not a POV source

While it may be a newspaper in Ithaca, it is still a legitmate news source, and the data in that story was not from an op-ed page, but from a news article. I have restored it. Cornell Rockey 18:39, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

It's a "community interest" piece about two schoolgirls speculating about dates, printed in a newspaper that is overwhelmingly likely to be POV regarding this issue. When citing claims in controversial sources, the usual solution is to attribute the claim to the person making it. I've rewritten your addition in this style, and stated the facts without the speculation. Anomie 19:18, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah, a much better solution than deleting information. Well done! Cornell Rockey 19:21, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is it anything new

Don't kill the messenger, but isn't sundae just a different name for type of ice cream presentation? I suspect that it was around for a long time outside around the world before people started calling it "sundae". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.188.93.138 (talk) 21:38, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
