Talk:Cranberry

Explanation please

Under Cultivation - Geography and bog method it states "Beds are frequently drained with socked tile...". As I can't find any explanation of this in Wikipedia, could someone add a few words to explain what socked tile is, please.

I have a similar query for the reference to the "water reel type harvesters" in the Harvesting section.

Urinary tract infections

Dear Community,
Since the content of the section „Urinary tract infections“ is not up to date I would like suggest some improvement. Please include the results found by Kevin C Maki, Kerrie L Kaspar,Christina Khoo,Linda H Derrig, Arianne L Schild, and Kalpana Gupta “Consumption of a cranberry juice beverage lowered the number of clinical urinary tract infection episodes in women with a recent history” Am J Clin Nutr 2016;103:1434–42.
Unfortunately I am not familiar with editing the article and therefore I would be very happy if someone else might add this additional note + reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.250.193.33 (talk) 20:26, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

That is a limited clinical study paid for and conducted by Ocean Spray, so is WP:COI. References 16 and 17 have taken a wider view of all clinical studies to date on UTI, and concluded there is no effect. This is what the article states and should remain. --Zefr (talk) 21:00, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Reference 16 (EFSA review of CranMax, in case numbering changes in future) was a not-enough-evidence finding on the proposed health claim for a specific dietary supplement, and should be identified as such rather than used as a generalized no-benefits reference. Ref 17 (Cochrane) is a high quality review reference of multiple types of cranberry products, and as of April 2017, is still the most recent meta-analysis.

Combining two History subsection in single History section

I noticed two places talking about history, first in Entymology, second in Marketing. I am moving content to a new History section, after Entymology.User-duck (talk) 18:39, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Citation-needed tags and better sources needed

I've been asked to discuss these edits here on the talk page. Fair enough; let's get some discussion going on how these edits are objectionable. I applied citation-needed tags to large swathes of text that assert claims without even hinting at any source for them, let alone a valid source. And speaking of valid sources, I don't think copy-pasting text directly from a commercial entity's own website and then citing that website counts as such -- hence why I removed the "citation". 173.180.13.37 (talk) 21:32, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for starting the discussion. I flagged your edit because there are marketing sources readily available, such as this and this, among others. Rather than tagging so much content, it would be more constructive to find sources and rewrite the section. Zefr (talk) 01:36, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

History section

I’m very suspicious of the sentence on James White Norwood in 1550 referring to Native American use of cranberries. Footnote 13 is on something entirely different. Unless some can at at least show there was a JWN in the 16th century, I suggest deleting this sentence.
