The spotty bowl is one of the main bowl types - surely there's a free image somewhere? 217.205.94.62 (talk) 07:23, 14 April 2009 (UTC)SBowlio[reply]
interwikis (interlanguage links) apart from Wikidata, for the (es:) one[edit]
You can see there was one here that linked to tazón. there's such an article, but at wikidata's you can see that links to another, this one : cuenco. When it is here, we cannot see the one from wikidata. I'm hiding it like a commentary, but you may remove it, if better. --PLA y Grande Covián (talk) 21:59, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There was a line at the end of the introductory paragraph, saying "In Nepali a bowl is also called Kachaura." Took it out. It was not connected to anything else, and seemed to contribute nothing besides the Nepali word for "bowl". If it was appropriate then we'd be mentioning the other 200 words for bowl in other languages... and Wikipedia is not a dictionary.
If there was some unique significance to Nepalese bowls, it should be rewritten to explain it.
I have just modified one external link on Bowl. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

I'm new to editing Wikipedia, so I had a noob question. Would it be appropriate to include a short snippet about the etymology of the word "bowl" on this page? I saw there was a an etymology section for the bowl entry on Wiktionary, but I wasn't sure about including it in Wikipedia. Is there a general policy on this?

Abowl is an open-top container used in many cultures to serve hot and cold food. Bowls are normally round but can be any shape including square or rectangular. Bowls are also used for drinking, as in the case of caffè latte. Bowls used for storing non-food items range from small bowls used for holding tips at a coffee shop to large bowls used for storing DVDs or CDs. Bowls are typically small and shallow, as in the case of bowls used for single servings of soup or cereal. Some bowls, such as punch bowls, serving bowls, fruit bowls and salad serving bowls, are larger and often intended to serve many people.
There are six sentences and each one begins with the word "bowl" or "bowls"; this is stylistically abominable: the repetitions make for dullness, and the information could be placed in fewer sentences with varied openings.
Bowls are round, or better, semi-spherical, period. If a container is square or rectangular, it is not—I repeat, NOT—a bowl. Women keep their jewelry in a jewelry box; you cook a meatloaf in a casserole dish. Bowls are semi-spherical to make it possible to move the food or liquid in certain ways, e.g., to stir or whip or whisk them; you cannot—I repeat, CANNOT—stir, whip, or whisk solids or liquids in a square or rectangular container. Square and rectangular containers are NOT BOWLS!
I will edit to remove the stylistic and logical defects.
As the name suggests, this item is considered to be a type of bowl. I understand that some may feel it to be an abomination to call it a "bowl", especially as many washing up bowls are not round but are as rectangular as the sinks that they dwell in. Nevertheless, should this type of bowl (and any other abominations, lol) be mentioned, if only as an exception? 92.25.47.124 (talk) 00:20, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
