[edit] DISAMBIGUATION

Instead of having a note at the top of the Yam vegetable page about Yam / Yaw (the Levantine god unrelated to vegetables), shouldn't we have a disambiguation page instead? - krnntp 17:36, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] French name

I think the corresponding fr: article should be fr:Igname for the genus rather than the current fr:Dioscoréacée, which is the family. A-giau 06:41, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Wild Yam

It would be nice to add some info about the pharmaceutical uses of Wild Yam.FreplySpang 22:45, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] moved recipe to WikiCookbook

I've moved "Lovie's yam recipe" out of this article into the WikiCookbook: [1]. FreplySpang (talk) 20:43, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Thank you! I am new at this. I am sure glad it did not get deleted. P.S. did you try 'em?

[edit] Making yam (vegetable) the primary topic

It seems that yam (vegetable) is easily the primary topic for all meanings of the term "yam". Is there any disagreement to moving "yam (vegetable)" to "yam", and moving this disambiguation page to "yam (disambiguation)"? Providing there is not, I will go ahead and move it. Not only will it aid in searching, but there will be fewer to no links to the disambiguation page. -- Natalya 18:43, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
