Pumpkin

Isn't a pumpkin a type of winter squash? Badagnani (talk) 00:29, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Think this is American usage. In Australia we would call all of these "pumpkins". Not sure about the UK. Making an initial edit on this. --75.111.49.194 (talk) 04:46, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then what's the specific Australian name for the orange, round one that jack o'lanterns are made from? Badagnani (talk) 16:29, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ihave a white squash that is big as a volleyball with a neck 18 inches long 6 inches across , also green stripes down the neck. Please identify. thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.22.185.31 (talk) 02:56, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Consistency ?

The pumpkin article says that in Australia these are called "pumpkin" so why wouldn't this article say the same ?

Of Queensland blue pumpkin ?
