why is there nothing on the uses of lemon juice in skin care? 2001:8003:1620:6700:BD1D:F314:7703:8AF0 (talk) 03:05, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for asking. The goal is to cover "the main points". This does seem to be a minor use. Chiswick Chap (talk) 05:44, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

no offense but skin care is a big part of lemons 38.178.146.116 (talk) 04:03, 5 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

We can't cite blogs, forums, wikis, or medical claims from commercial skin clinics, as those are not reliable sources. We can't cite primary medical research, per WP:MEDRS, either; I have yet to see any systematic review of high-quality peer-reviewed research that we could use.

ok I was confused for a second ~2026-23882-9 (talk) 07:33, 1 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

wait actually I am confused again ~2026-23882-9 (talk) 07:34, 1 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Please read the WP:RS and WP:MEDRS policies on suitable sources; you can't use talk pages as therapy. If you can find a suitable source, we can certainly use it. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:15, 1 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

if the lemon was first bred in 1st century BC in India, why is there an Egyptian painting from 15th century BC? something isn't correct Thomas.Osman (talk) 23:51, 20 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

First millennium BC, not century. Chiswick Chap (talk) 04:55, 21 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
