Talk:Qurabiya

I have reverted these edits by an IP editor from New Zealand: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Qurabiya&diff=1006668613&oldid=1003449654], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Qurabiya&diff=1006790596&oldid=1006734307] due to several problems. The main problem is that no reliable source was cited for the information. Linking to another Wikipedia article is not sufficient, though in any case, the linked article doesn't offer any mention of or citations supporting the claim that Vanillekipferl is the same thing as Qurabiya. Also, the information was added in a way that makes it appear to be supported by existing sources (Davidson, Marks), but it is not - see WP:HIJACK. Much of the added text appears to be original research or reflections based on personal knowledge or analysis. Furthermore, there are issues with instructional or presumptuous language such as {{tq|it is worthwhile considering that the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.}} - see MOS:NOTED, with capitalization of section headers, and various other things. --IamNotU (talk) 23:43, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

:I agree that there are issues with the language and sourcing. Spudlace (talk) 00:10, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

:I have found, on Wikipedia, that vanillekipferl cookies are Australian, German, Swiss, Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian small, crescent-shaped biscuits. The only correlation between these two cookies, as found in many sources, like www.daringgourmet.com, Kourabiedes used to be shaped into crescents, just like vanillekipferl cookies used to be, because of the Ottoman influence.

Why is the title of the article spelt with a "q" and not "gh"? The Arabic letter that begins the word, "غ" (ghayn) is never Romanised to a "q", and the vast majority of mentions of the word in the article begin "gh". Would it not make more sense to change the title of the article to either "ghurabiya" or a Romanisation of the "neutral" MSA word? 5.186.121.223 (talk) 10:43, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

:It appears this might be how it's called in Persian, in which case it would be helpful if this is clarified. Turnopoems (talk) 11:18, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

{{re|Jiniperus}} please explain why you think that your edit is an improvement and seek consensus for it. M.Bitton (talk) 16:56, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

:The infobox singgled out a country that isnt once mentioned in the article. I haven't seen that in any other articles. I read Wikipedia more than I edit and maybe I am misinformed. I simply did not think anyone would mind if it was changed to a generic photo that fit the article content. Jiniperus (talk) 17:04, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

::Thank you for the explanation. The fact that Serbia is not mentioned in the article is indeed problematic. As for the other concern that you raised (regarding singling out a country), I don't see how that's avoidable.

::Is there a particular image that you think is more appropriate (as in one that doesn’t mention the country of origin)? M.Bitton (talk) 17:16, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

:::This was the only one I could find that does not mention country of origin

::::That's a random cookie. In case you missed what I wrote below (I edited the image's caption). M.Bitton (talk) 18:07, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
