Edit warring over inconclusive history

This and several other edits today by Aziz.N1987 are unconstructive edit warring, now exceeding WP:3RR. Four editors have reverted the Aziz history edit, based on this source, which is inconclusive at best, leads to speculation, and is not a WP:SCIRS review. The edits have not improved the History and cultivation section, but rather made it vague with disrupted style and poorly written grammar. Further, the Aziz edits are unformatted and break WP:MOS, for which the editor has been warned. Best if this editor pauses with editing, discusses changes here, and stops the persistent edit warring.

Walnut reference?

I found this section peculiar:

Pairs of walnuts are sometimes sold in their green husks for a form of gambling known as ''du qing pi''.[https://www.academia.edu/25307556/Asian_Anthropology_Nuts_Beijing_folk_art_connoisseurship_in_the_age_of_marketization]

Surely it is meant to be a reference, or is it something else? Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 03:08, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Drupe or Nut

The article seems to be confused about whether the walnut is a drupe or a true botanical nut 173.226.237.130 (talk) 00:29, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

The Nut article has this statement: The general and original usage of the term is less restrictive, and many nuts (in the culinary sense), such as almonds, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, and Brazil nuts, are not nuts in a botanical sense. So wikipedia, which is it? 2601:840:4300:1480:459B:5150:28B0:D83 (talk) 01:09, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Ditto with the drupe article, which asserts walnuts are drupes. Mairinade (talk) 03:58, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Walnut allergic reactions

The article on Walnuts ignores the very important allergic reaction some people have to walnuts, butternuts and their relatives. This is often moderately severe to very severe and life threatening allergic reaction to these nuts. It is one of the more severe tree nut allergic reactions because of severity and frequency of the reaction in humans. Failure to discuss or acknowledge this characteristic of walnuts and its related species is a major disservice to Wikipedia readers. 2603:8080:FC05:2100:C099:7CE4:89FE:2302 (talk) 07:03, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

Where are walnuts grown around the world?

The article in its present form does not describe the worldwide distribution of walnut trees. Clearly, they are found in many places. I hope that some knowledgeable editors will add useful data on this topic.

The production data in the article are for the leading countries, but further country data can be viewed via the picklists from the UN source given in the table. How can this be better discussed for the article? Zefr (talk) 21:09, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
