The lack of information in the "lemons in culture" section requires immediate action. Lemons have become the ubiquitous symbol of sour, such as calling someone with a sour attitude a "lemon", comparing artificial flavours to lemons through marketing and using them to represent leaving a bad taste in someone's mouth through the simile of "like biting into a lemon." The cultural impact of the lemon is vital to the continued existence of society and it is important that you modify this article to embody this. 49.199.95.31 (talk) 05:51, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
Not done - According to the template, an edit request "must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it," and should be supported with a WP:RS source. This guidance was not followed. Zefr (talk) 06:38, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
Grammatical Error edit
Quote: 'The lemon (Citrus × limon) is a species of small evergreen tree'. It should clarify that it refers to the lemon tree, and not the lemon fruit. 2403:4800:35DE:5415:B175:C082:4786:F8C1 (talk) 03:54, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
Link on 'Fruit' edit
Description: Quote "The lemon tree produces an ellipsoidal yellow fruit.". The link for fruit leads to the article 'Hesperidium' instead of the article 'Fruit'. This should be changed. 2403:4800:35DE:5415:15DA:4B44:DB55:EF6D (talk) 04:59, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- I disagree. Hesperidium is a more specific article than fruit, and there is no requirement that wikilinks only go to articles that match the name exactly. –CWenger (^ • @) 11:35, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
