I added a note that most wheat grown these days is semi-dwarf wheat, but a troll, with the Wikipedia name of Meters, deleted it within 10 minutes, and claimed I didn't have an adequate source. My source was the article on Norman Borlaug. He claimed I didn't have an adequate source. I guess an extensive WikiPedia article doesn't count as an adequate source. Understandable, but on can consult primary references given in that article. This article, as it is, gives no warning that most wheat grown today was developed by Borlaug.

Fair enough, I suppose. I hope somebody who cares about Wikipedia much anymore will do it for me. I am unenthusiastic about spending time researching things only to have armies of trolls revert my work, rather than allow Wikipedia pages to include politically incorrect things. It's happened to me more than a few times before. If nobody else gets around to it, I'll give it a try (that I am not hopeful about) when my schedule clears up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.76.46.95 (talk) 19:10, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
Dear colleagues-
In the interests of both clarity and verifiablilty, it seems that the statement that "World trade in wheat is greater than for all other crops combined.[5]" (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat) paragraph 3, sentence 2.
Was that the amount, or the value?
Is that still the case in 2018?
The data in the introductory section, concerning relative trade of wheat compared to other crops, appears to be in conflict with other wikipedia artlcles (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_valuable_crops_and_livestock_products; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice) as well as articles from other sources (see: https://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?datasetcode=HIGH_AGLINK_2017; https://www.businessinsider.com/10-crops-that-feed-the-world-2011-9#2-wheat-9), although supported by one source (see: http://www.fao.org/docs/eims/upload/306175/Briefing%20Paper%20(3)-Wheat%20Initative%20-%20H%C3%A9l%C3%A8ne%20Lucas.pdf)

This page does not have an interlanguage link to the Italian WP, specifically to the article it:Triticum. When I tried to add it to the Wikidata page relative to this page, it fails because the Italian page results already linked to the item "Triticum". How can this be solved? --Ritchie92 (talk) 00:48, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
The vitamin A value for sweet potato in the nutrition table on this page is plainly incorrect. I don't know what the correct value is, but this page states that 100g of sweet potato provides 14,187 IU of vitamin A. The adult male RDA is just 3,000 IU and 10,000 IU is considered unhealthy. But of course a moderate 100g portion of sweet potato is not normally considered a dangerous quantity to consume.
Someone with the appropriate skill and data sources should probably review the entire table for accuracy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.184.142.155 (talk) 06:08, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
I wondered if the discrepancy between values for raw and cooked forms, mentioned in the text introducing the table, could possibly be part of the issue. Could raw sweet potato be dripping with vitamin A? But now the table tells us that 100g of raw sweet potato provides a much less frightening 961 IU of vitamin A. The hoped-for review must have happened. Jdickinson (talk) 06:52, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
I don't see in the article any substantial explanation of the planting/harvesting cycles for wheat generally, nor any comparison of the cycles for spring and winter wheats. A few questions readily come to mind. Do the names refer to planting times or harvesting times or what? Can the same plot of land grow two crops (wheat or other) per year? When are the two kinds planted and harvested? If there is crop rotation, does that mean rotation over years or rotation within a year? Are there genetic differences between spring and winter wheats, or do the names just refer to the planting or harvesting times? It would seem that these and similar basic questions should get some serious treatment in either the Farming Techniques or Agronomy sections. Apparently the knowledgable editors aren't much aware that these questions are not common knowledge. Please pitch in if you can answer any of these questions. Thanks.
I asked a similar question here on 13 June 2012, and nothing happened--no discussion, no relevant edit--until four years later when the section was removed, presumably by some mindless bot. So it would be good if that kind of thing could be avoided somehow. I have also placed a related clarify request in the Farming Techniques section. Please don't remove it, as it's not at all obvious that the present talk-page section is going to have any effect. Thanks.CountMacula (talk) 23:28, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

This edit from 2010 accidentally said 300,000 instead of 30,000. This was only just found a few days ago here. Just thought others might be as impressed as I was. Invasive Spices (talk) 19:22, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
