Copyvio?

I have blanked most of the article as a suspected copy vio from [1] following this alert at the help desk. -- John of Reading (talk) 16:32, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's certainly a long-standing copyvio - details here. Ka renjc 18:01, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merging horehound candy article

I recently created an article on horehound candy. However, upon reflection, I've decided to merge it with this article as it feels like it is otherwise destined to be a permanent stub. WanderingWanda (talk) 03:30, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you find a good reference, maybe you can add to that section information about which part(s) of the plant the extract is extracted from. That would be a Good Thing for this article. 2601:200:C000:1A0:7D04:23B6:BA70:3DB5 (talk) 06:29, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Idiotic section

The first section after the introduction is Etymology and it begins as follows:

"The Oxford English Dictionary derives the word from Old English: hoar ("white," "light-colored," as in "hoarfrost") and "hune" (a word of unknown origin designating a class of herbs or plants). The second element was altered by folk etymology."

It never states what word it is referring to. The title of this article is "Marrubium vulgare", but that is not the word that this sentence is about.

The word is "horehound", and it is essential to state which word is being discussed instead of playing guessing games with readers. 2601:200:C000:1A0:7D04:23B6:BA70:3DB5 (talk) 06:24, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right. Fixed now. Nurg (talk) 23:32, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
