This article is or was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Sarah Valvano (article contribs).

Hummus

The opening paragraph refers to hummus as a "food dip" (and where the dip page says dips are "condiments"). This is innaccurate. In a vast swath of the Levant and even into Africa, Hummus is most often eaten as the main course of a meal. Yes, it is traditionally eaten by dipping pita into it rather than with a spoon, but it forms the bulk of the meal. I ain't citin' any sources, cuz I don't need to, cuz it's just true. And this is non-controversial even in the Middle East: Arabs, Jews, and others, please come together long enough to have my back on this. 68.175.11.48 (talk) 19:53, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, our article on the Sky cites four sources to say that it's blue. WP:CITE and WP:Verifiability are taken very seriously around here. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:30, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

don't get distracted, my suggestion is an improvement to the article, you now know something true about hummus you never knew before. As to citations, the purported blueness of the sky NEEDS citation as the sky is not actually blue, it only appears to be blue from the surface of the planet during the day; its blueness disappears as you increase elevation or set the sun. Now you also know something about the sky. 68.175.11.48 (talk) 15:37, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Houmous

I would argue that the spelling houmous has become the predominant one in the UK, despite what the dictionaries say. All three major supermarkets use this spelling on their product packaging, as well as major restaurant chains like Nando's. Maxí (talk) 17:03, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed...another example of Americans ruining the original word. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.204.77.144 (talk) 04:20, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hertz revert

Hertz, you basically removed the only part of the text that was notable, and that is James Zogbys comment:https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hummus&action=historysubmit&type=revision&diff=817581783&oldid=817567254

You also removed it based on: "It's ridiculous to speak of stealing foods, rather than adopting them, and defamatory to label it as genocidal", thats your opinion, but this is James Zogbys opinion and it was a quote attributed to him, just because you dont like the quote does not give you the right to censor facts from wikipedia. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 16:00, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer the way Hertz1888 edited the statement as it now stands with a degree of neutrality. The previous edit by Supreme Deliciousness introduced inflammatory unencyclopedic language, even if via a tweet, per WP:SOAP and WP:NOTNEWS. --Zefr (talk) 17:37, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Without James Zogbys comment the entire text is completely non notable. You can probably find several chefs claiming Arab food is isareli, it non notable, what makes this situation notable is a widely known person like Zogby reacting to it. Please explain how having a quote by someone and attributing it to him is not neutral. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 23:15, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A culture section in a food article does not open the door to quoting defamatory political opinion (which SD confuses with fact in invoking censorship). Zefr is right to call it soapboxing. The remaining portion may be of some interest to illustrate a cultural clash, but as it is based on a tweet (and is likely non-notable as well) I will remove it per WP:SELFPUBLISH.

Change Swedish to German (language) in the captioned image of canned hummus. 2605:A601:42C6:AF00:BC08:50C8:E856:6CAC (talk) 07:11, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ToThAc (talk) 15:10, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I started to make the requested change, but I think I see both German and Swedish text on the label, as well as Arabic. Does the caption even need to mention a language? Just plain Bill (talk) 15:48, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kikärt dip is in Swedish. The two lines above are in German (or something close). Kichererbse is German for chickpea, and Kikärt is Swedish for chickpea. The top line is Arabic (and the bottom line is probably transliterated Arabic to English). The Rosetta Stone of Hummus.Icewhiz (talk) 16:13, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Quite correct. Btw, some of the translations for hummus are obviously not done by native speakers, this translation to Danish (the third from the top) is hilarious: "chick peas" → "hen farmer", "sesame paste" → "glue sesame" (!) "natural spices" → "spices, of course". And I don't think any Danish speaker knows what "Opmagasinere i en gold afræk opstille" means...LOL. (It reminds me of some chicken wings seen in a super marked in Egypt, marked: "100% vegetarian". Somehow you lose some trust of labels after that...)
