for ALT0. Well long enough [16.67k chars.]; obviously within general policies (although e.g. no need to bold the Latin name, some odd grammar here and there, #Name and an anchor for #Etymology is better than naming the section Etymology, using the Wiktionary entry to extend the etymology beyond Old English, distinguishing that, no, beer is actually unrelated, and similar minor unnecessary tweaks of course come to mind); timely submission; earwig finds massive amounts of plagiarism but presumably all the other way; QPQ done-ish (I see now I should've QPQ'd that one instead); image out of copyright; image caption a bit flat (fixed but you're welcome to tweak it or change it back); ALT1 goes 0-60 in no time flat, "of course it's food" to "wtf that's NOT coffee", just inviting a flamewar over people annoyed that you called it coffee without sneerquotes or any hedging. I mean, sure, anger is a strong form of engagement but we don't really need excess here. ALT0 is a biiiit silly in the grand scheme of things: of course at the beginning of agriculture, the stuff being farmed was the primary medium of exchange. That said, it's unusual/weird enough now for most people to think about that it still works as a hook. (The really interesting bit is that it led directly to the shekel but, jeez, don't even get the internet started on that topic at the moment.) — LlywelynII21:03, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I checked the Earwig matches and the article history matches with the sources copying from Wikipedia. for instance the Flickr match was from 2016 and going back to the article's 2016 version shows that they copied. They also credit Wikipedia, same for the other matches. Good article. Lightburst (talk) 05:54, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
