title

Error in the title, which I cannot correct. The melon is the Santa Claus melon. The title is "Santa clause melon", with the spelling as shown. Should be corrected. Body text has correct name Montereyham 18:23, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved it. --Auric 19:08, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This should be combined with the article on Piel de Sapo melon. Docclabo (talk) 22:00, 29 July 2011 (UTC)docclabo[reply]

The article contradicts itself. It says: "This melon was named in recognition of its long keeping qualities...until Christmas." but it then says: "Even though it is a very good keeper, this holiday melon was actually named because its peak season is in December." Which is it? I'm not sure. If it is the latter however then some clarification is needed because it also says in the article that it is harvested from June to October, not December. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.136.192.1 (talk) 14:28, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"health benefits"

I deleted the sentence on "health benefits" because it was unsourced, and the sugar in fruit is not a "bad point". Look under the conclusions here: http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.cz/2012/02/is-sugar-fattening.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.142.238.105 (talk) 14:58, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
