[edit] White pepper redirect

White pepper currently points to an album, not the spice, which seems rather bizarre. I've suggested changing this on Talk:White Pepper, please comment. Jpatokal (talk) 10:44, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Wouldn't hurt to add that white pepper is used as a substitute for black pepper for people who cannot tolerate the burn. It's significantly milder, but has the same flavor & smell. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.17.134.7 (talk) 06:42, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] BC vs BCE

WP:MOS says "No preference is given to either style", "be consistent within the same article", and "do not change from one style to another unless there is substantial reason for the change, and consensus for the change with other editors." Version 427327099 says "It is possible that black pepper was known in China in the 2nd century BC," and uses BCE for all other instances. Revision 428808050 changes BCE to B.C., a step toward consistency within the article, and hence justified under MOS guideline. However, it did not quite get consistency because there were still B.C. with periods and BC without. I'm changing to all BCE, achieving full consistency with minimal change from the original version. --Dan Wylie-Sears 2 (talk) 21:37, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
