England?

"Candying is done mainly in England, France and the United States" - does this actually MEAN "England" specifically, or is it just the careless use of the word when "United Kingdom" is meant? 86.132.138.205 16:30, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Dubious

"In Swedish the citron is named Suckatcitron, - the citron of Succoth"

This is probably just a coincidence (or a folk etymology). According to the entry suckat (succade) in the etymological dictionary of the Swedish Academy (SAOB) the word is loanword from Italian where the word zuccata means candied pumpkin (zucca). The word zucca, in its turn, is connected to an Indo-european root meaning "dry". /78.69.59.235 (talk) 20:40, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

See the references at Succade, that this word too, was possibly derived from it's Jewish ritual use. Personnaly, I think that this is not right, but the explanation fits still better for the Swedish name.Critisizer (talk) 19:00, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Seems far-fetched to me. At least the Academy begs to differ, and they are supposed to be the authority on Swedish language, aren't they?. /78.69.59.235 (talk) 14:23, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Ludicrous Contradiction

The first section, the summary prior to the ToC, states the etymology of the name has nothing to do with medicine. The first section after the ToC explains how and why the fruit's use was mainly medicinal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leegee23 (talk • contribs) 10:10, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Origin and distribution

Surely it is not correct to describe Yemen as being in the Far East, is it? Dawright12 (talk) 11:42, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
