Muffin as a euphemism

"Bluffin' with my muffin", anyone? 174.95.227.232 (talk) 07:49, 13 November 2011 (UTC) muffins are a yummy thing to eat you can eat them — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.82.100.10 (talk) 22:21, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Table of nutrients

The table of nutrients only has the nutrients for a blueberry muffin ,Shouldn't it also have the nutrients for other forms of muffins? ACEOREVIVED (talk) 16:46, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Derpy Hooves

Why is Derpy listed? She isn't of significant importance to muffins. 99.178.171.244 (talk) 18:34, 3 May 2012 (UTC)SilverStar[reply]

You know, I just noticed that. The character is associated with muffins because in the series and fanon she has been known to like them. Silly bronies, always trying to ponify things... 65.60.157.98 (talk) 10:54, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"American English"

Article starts with "A muffin is an American English name for a type of quick bread that is baked in small portions." While the word, or that particular meaning of it, may well have begun in the US, it is no longer exclusively American, and I don't think it is right to identify it as such in the first sentence. In Australia, people eat muffins regularly (quite similar to the American ones) - and even though they may be ultimately of American origin, I don't think that occurs to most people. ZackMartin (talk) 12:37, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd guess that the purpose is to stop the complaints from a small proportion of people in the UK who can't believe that the article called (plain) "muffin" isn't about the yeast bread version (called English muffins in much of the world). WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:27, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Somewhat belittling and unfounded comment. The proportion may be large, and maybe made of people beyond the UK who on all issues want to ensure that Wikipedia is just an American bias. for shame on them! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.152.9 (talk) 21:05, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

Muffin → Muffin (American-style) – The word "muffin" (used on its own, i.e. without the phrase "American-style" or "English" preceding it) means different things to English speakers around the world. In the U.K. it will be interpreted to mean an English muffin, and in the U.S. it will be interpreted to mean an American-style muffin. Therefore the logical thing to do is move this page to "Muffin (American-style)" and have a disambiguation page for the page "Muffin" pointing to the various types of bun available. (An analogous case is the page "Football" which doesn't point to either American football, Soccer, or any other style of football, but talks about the various kinds of football in general.)
