A fact from Big Max appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 31 October 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Big Max pumpkins are not really pumpkins?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/October.

I came here from that "fact" and am very disappointed if that represents the standard of interest in the WikiProject Agriculture. "Pumpkin" has absolutely no scientific meaning whatsoever. It is a word commonly used in some forms of English to refer to more or less spherical, more or less orange, edible cucurbit fruits that can belong to any one of five cucurbit species.

If mixing up realms of discourse floats your boat, great, but this "fact" has no place in a reference article. What next? Rhubarb is not a fruit? Tomato is not a vegetable? C'mon. JeremyCherfas (talk) 10:35, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This seemingly credible source suggests otherwise, but by all means feel free to improve the article. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:37, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
