Journal of Berry Research

Latest comment: 5 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I was wondering if it might be helpful to add reference to the Journal of Berry Research (https://journals.sagepub.com/home/ber) under the Research section. Aquaquaqu (talk) 20:07, 7 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

It is a low-quality publication not indexed in MEDLINE. Reviewing its publications over the past few months, there is considerable exaggeration and misinformation from lab research about the supposed health benefits of consuming berries. Like any food, berries supply a certain range of nutrients, but there is no clinical evidence that eating berries confers any special anti-disease or health effects. High-quality WP:MEDRS-level publications will not appear in this journal. Zefr (talk) 20:53, 7 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Separating common/culinary and botanical articles further

Latest comment: 5 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I like that there are separate articles for Berry and Berry (botany). I think this article still includes too much information about the botanical classification "berry", which is mostly irrelevant to culinary usage. I'd rather see this article go more in depth on cultural or culinary use of berries; referring to the botanical classification once and pointing in the direction of the article seems sufficient. —Jch thys 14:08, 21 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Layout error

Near the beginning of the page, the photos push some words into a long column on the left, at least on an IPhone. Could someone who has the ability to edit the page fix that? Crady19 (talk) 01:16, 8 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Adjusted to smaller images with Special:Diff/1358338300. Try reading from your phone in a sideways view. Zefr (talk) 02:39, 8 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
