[edit] Name

• Standardised capitalisation of botanic name. Should this article not be called Grape vine? - Imc 23:11, Dec 24, 2003 (UTC)
• Re name - Grape vine seems to link to an article about the genus, and this is just a particular grape vine, so no. Morwen 23:16, Dec 24, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review Comments

Do you have picture? ilya

I have a couple, but am waiting for permission to come in. Dbroadwell 16:31, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Please, take my comment in good faith because I mean no offense, but "sook" is not a word, aside from an Australian slang term which is inappropriate for the existing context in the 'Uses' section of the article. I can only assume you meant to use the irregular past tense of the word "seek," which is "sought", which fits the context much better; as a native English speaker I don't think this could be a casual mistake of a native English speaker, so I assume that you are not. Of course I am happy of any contribution of quality from any source, which yours surely is, so be sure you have my full support. I am wondering though, what is your background in terms of experience with viticulture, and what is your country of origin if you do not mind telling. I only ask out of curiosity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.144.16.61 (talk) 16:51, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

I removed the picture as it showed V. labrusca, not V. vinifera, as do all the pictures on the page grape. We need some more variety in our pictures. Rmhermen 01:47, Jul 4, 2004 (UTC)

I once again removed a picture. It showed 'Campbell Early', which is primarily a Vitis labrusca-derived hybrid. I'll see if I can track down a legitimate vinifera picture at some point. I also removed the word 'fickle', as it seemed to be used in appropriately. 'Fickle' suggests something which is highly changeable, which the demand for seedless grapes has not been: they have been overwhelmingly preferred for over a century in most countries, and there is a steady trend globally towards seedless cultivars.Elakazal 17:34, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
