[edit] "Hot" under the photo of the coffee cup

Coffee is not a beverage served just hot, by any stretch of the imagination. 66.26.95.207 (talk) 17:08, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Reise in die Morgenländer - Rauwolf

A passage from Reise in die Morgenländer (1582) by Leonhard Rauwolf is quoted, possibly in translation (the book also appeared in English and Dutch versions). This section of text appears online in several places (not WP:RS, but may be sufficient for someone to verify the translation). Here's the reported German text from one such site for comparison:

Unter anderen habens ein gut getränck, welliches sie hoch halten, Chaube von jenen genennet: das ist gar nahe wie Dinten so schwarz und in gebresten sonderlich des magens gar dienstlich. Dieses pflegens am Morgen frü, auch an offnen orten .. . zu trinken, aus irdenen und Porcellanischen tiefen Schälein, so warm, alß seis könden erleiden...

[edit] Table at the bottom of Caffeine Content

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee#Caffeine_content There are no measurements just a series of #s. What is it that is being described? 96.52.182.81 (talk) 16:49, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

There is a citation to "Verlengia F, Rigitano A, Nery JP, Tosello A. Variations of the caffeine content in coffee beverages. ASIC, 2nd Int Sci Colloq Green and Roasted Coffee Chem. 1965, 106-114." in the preceding sentence. Anyone have access to that to know what it says? DMacks (talk) 18:05, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Spam type thing under Etymology

it looks like there is something odd under etymology but I don't know how to fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.116.23.233 (talkcontribs) 18:52, 20 February 2012‎ (UTC)

It has already been removed. Sometimes older edits can still be seen for a while until the cache has been updated. It is possible to purge the page to make it go away faster. jonkerz ♠talk 19:00, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] 3rd Paragraph under Cultivation Vandalized

The 3rd Paragraph under Cultivation appears to have been vandalized. Excellent article until then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.196.17.230 (talk) 17:25, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

It was taken care of by a bot the same minute it happened. It, again, seems like the cache was slow to update. Thanks for pointing it out. jonkerz ♠talk 18:06, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
