  • Symbol question.svghook length and facts check. Article newness and length are good. Not sure about the reliability of the "Plants for the Future" website though.--Kevmin § 04:55, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
  • I'm not quite convinced the sources for the medical claims reach WP:MEDRS. 86.139.213.143 (talk) 03:25, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg I made several edits to the article, including adding a sourced statement that there are no established medical uses. I think the resulting article is OK w/r/t MEDRS. However, I don't like any of the hooks, as worded. It stretches the sourcing to say it is "used for medicine"; the article does not suggest it is delicious; the word "intoxicating" is misleading as it implies an effect like alcoholic beverages but in fact means "toxic"; and the words "not life threatening" do not equate to "non-threatening". How about trying ALT3?

Symbol redirect vote4.png I'm fine with ALT3 if it's verified properly; also, I scrapped out my hooks. Let's wait for a reviewer. By the way, how can a bot credit Orlady? --George Ho (talk) 18:52, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Pictogram voting keep.svgI'm good with the alt 3 hook, and adjustments made to the article re:medical claims. I will agf the jams and jellies reference. --Kevmin § 23:30, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
