Talk:Ghost pepper/Archive 2

Help Me?

Hello, I intend to edit this article to make it more cohesive and to make it flow better. I am taking out parts that are not relevant to the article. I am also going to try and make it more user-friendly and easy to understand by changing some headings. I am adding wikilinks, as well. I am also adding information (from previously referenced sources) that I believe will be interested in reading. Any suggestions for areas I could improve would be wonderful. My sandbox is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:JustAcscStudent/sandbox and my talk page where you can leave any suggestions is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:JustAcscStudent/sandbox — Preceding unsigned comment added by JustAcscStudent (talk • contribs) 02:35, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Naga Viper seems to be a hoax

Naga Viper seems to be a hoax. Cross-breeding 3 chilli varieties successfully will inadvertently take a minimum of 6 years.

Naga Morich is not a synonym for Bhut Jolokia

A line in the etymology section reads: "...The chili is also known as Naga morich in Bangladesh (morich meaning "pepper")...." with this reference. The reference doesn't say that. It says only "...Naga Morich, hailing from Bangladesh. This mental spice is a close cousin of Bhut Jolokia...". There are other refs to support it being its own variety. I will therefore turn the redirect into a stub. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:52, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

bhut

'bhut' भूत् is Hindi for 'ghost', deriving from the Sanskrit भूत bhūta 'being'. Perhaps this is where the confusion comes from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.26.1.194 (talk) 06:16, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

bhot

Actually in Assamese it is called Bhot Jolokiya ভোট জলকীয়া which means from Bhutan or surrounding areas. 218.155.158.132 (talk) 13:40, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Chile Pepper Institute

I am pleased to correct the misspelling Chili to Chile regarding the UNM Chile Pepper Institute and not have to deal with those of you around the world who insist on spelling Chile the incorrect way. You cannot edit it back because the name of the institution is spelled Chile. If only the rest of the wiki editors would correct their wrong ways, we could all learn what we (in the new world) know: Chile is a fruit, Chili is a dish. --Jsderwin (talk) 02:48, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Bangladesh

The sources clearly and prominently say "Bangladesh." What's the problem? --Ronz (talk) 14:57, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Rewrite of etymology

If nothing else, it's extremely poorly done [1]. The removal of sources without explanation is always problematic. I've reverted it. Hopefully, the edits we just rushed and can be explained here or someone can go through them carefully and figure out the intention and demonstrate it has merits. --Ronz (talk) 15:04, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Agreed, was fixing to say something similar. The lede needs to be improved/fixed badly. Tomato expert1 (talk) 09:42, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Origin

As peppers originate in south america, it would be useful to include a section explaining how this pepper arrived in India and was bred to it's current form. Drn8 (talk) 13:56, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Scoville rating?

The infobox on this page lists the Scoville rating as "330,000–1,032,310" but in the article there are citations for ratings as high as 1,598,227. Similarly, if the BBC rating is discounted, there is a proper rating for 1,041,427, which is ~9,000 points higher on the Scoville scale. Is there a reason for the 1,032,310 number?
