Proposed deletion of page
[edit]Hey, can we strike the whole page? This was clearly written by a private company trying to protect its trademark. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.105.72.33 (talk) 22:15, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
- If there's a band named after it and other people singing about it, I would accept that as being notable enough to be here. As there's a picture of the bottle, I am going to remove the image requested tag. Egmason (talk) 07:09, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
Ingredients
[edit]To add to article: substantive discussion of this sauce's ingredients and flavor profile. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 15:07, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
Yeah, "similar to a barbecue sauce but sweet and tangy." Um...that's like "similar to a ham sandwich but made of ham and two slices of bread." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.111.236.64 (talk) 17:36, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
Comma
[edit]@Belbury: Hello! About this edit, why should there be a comma after "Washington, D.C."? Is it because it's the name of a place, or is something different about this particular place name? We wouldn't say, "... a condiment developed and popularized in Dublin, Ireland, take-out restaurants," would we? It seems to me that the comma should be removed. — Mudwater (Talk) 11:07, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- Wikipedia MOS is to treat the commas as parenthetical, so there does need to be one there. See MOS:GEOCOMMA. Belbury (talk) 11:13, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Belbury: Thanks for the link. Yes, the MOS does seem to say that the comma should be there. Interesting. Another approach would be to avoid the issue and change the sentence to say, "Mumbo sauce or mambo sauce is a condiment developed and popularized by take-out restaurants in Washington, D.C." That wording is a bit better anyway, in my opinion. — Mudwater (Talk) 11:52, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- Sure, good idea! Belbury (talk) 12:19, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
