Move

Why were the

Bush cashew nut
Queensland almond
Yellow walnut

removed ? Also, other nuts not mentioned are: Macrozamia communis, Macrozamia miquellii, Macrozamia spiralis, Endiandra palmerstonii, Hicksbeachia pinnatifolia, Pygeum turneratum, Sterculia quadrifida, Terminalia grandiflora —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.182.173.51 (talk) 18:38, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bush cashew nut is listed under Australian cashew nut to align with the linked referenced article.
Queensland almond, Yellow nut - no link or source was provided to show that these are culinary nuts
Hicksbeachia pinnatifolia is listed under Red Bopple Nut
The Macrozamia species are grouped as Burawang Nuts under the subtitle "Nut-like gymnosperm seeds"
Any new entries should cite a reference, or link to a referenced article that demonstrates that the entry qualifies to be on this list.--Melburnian (talk) 09:14, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reorganization and cleanup

I've reorganized and cleaned up the article. In the process, I noticed that the classification of a few of the culinary nuts in the article are either absent or questionable. I've marked the section containing them. Would someone who's more knowledgeable please take a look? Thanks! Waitak (talk) 23:10, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This has been resolved, thanks to participation by some plants-savy editors. Waitak (talk) 18:21, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Biblical Disagreement

Pistachio lists three types of nuts that are present in the Bible, whereas this article only points to two. The Pistachio article lacks a reference but some research points to this being a difference of translation -- Song of Solomon 6:11 is sometimes translated to refer to walnuts specifically, and in other cases is just "nuts." Not sure how this ought to be resolved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.33.34.221 (talk) 06:43, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Drupes and seeds

This is a great article-- just the other day I was wondering about the confusion/distinction between hazelnuts and filberts, so I appreciate that answer here! Thanks for your work on this Waitak-- nice model for an annotated list.

I think defining a drupe as a "fleshy fruit" leaves it a little unclear that the part considered the "culinary nut" is the actual seed inside. Simple fix: "Some of these seeds are considered culinary nuts as well." Also I'm not sure why--or how--you should distinguish the "nut-like drupe seeds" from the "nut-like angiosperm seeds"... Is there anything on the former list that isn't an angiosperm? Maybe the drupe part could be a subsection of "nut-like angiosperm seeds"??

Lastly, my understanding was (also back in the Pleistocene) that cashew was an aril attached, I guess, to a drupe fruit, but actually kind of a whole different animal. Er, "nut". But then, the memory ain't what it once was. They certainly look like seeds. Araucana (talk) 22:43, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be absolutely delight to have more input into what categories these things belong in. I've certainly appreciated the input from more plant-savvy editors to date, but the article definitely would benefit from more.

While I'm here, maybe you'd consider voting for this as a featured list? The discussion is about a week in at this point. Waitak (talk) 23:02, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On my way as you spoke, and now done. At least, I contributed to the discussion; is there something else I should do? Araucana (talk) 23:18, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think the categorisation should be 1a) nuts 1b) nutlets 2a) kernels of drupes 2b) kernels of drupelets 3) seeds Lavateraguy (talk) 19:28, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Images

I just looked at the gallery, and thought a nice addition would be a Brazil nut in its other "shell"-- and there is one at Brazilnut. Araucana (talk) 23:24, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See also Araucaria angustifolia and especially the photo of the basket of cones. Araucana (talk) 23:57, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I've added a couple of images, and an entry for Araucaria angustifolia. Waitak (talk) 00:18, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
