Early shoots
They do stink! I've been there! But how do you call plants taht flower before "normal" trees get their leaves? --Yak 00:24, Feb 20, 2004 (UTC) I changed "Wild Onions" to "Ramsons" because it wasn't even clear that the sentance was about the same thing. Also wikipedia thinks Wild Onion is something else A Geek Tragedy 22:52, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Chicago name from garlic?
This blog says that these are the same as the wild onions that gave Chicago its name - called chi-ga-ga in the first inhabitants' language. Can anyone confirm this? --Lijil (talk) 09:56, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of distinguish advisory
Deleted "distinguish" advisory. The words and concepts of "Ransom" (wild garlic), "Samson" (a Biblical muscle man), "Transom" (a part of the stern of a boat), and "Damson" (a plum) are simply not close enough or confused with one another often enough to warrant such a disambiguation. They are neither homonyms, homophones, or anything even close.

Distinguishing "Ransoms" and "Ramps", one wild garlic, the other wild leek, that would make more sense. It is done, however, in the body of those articles.Wikiuser100 (talk) 15:27, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Ramson or Ramsons?
Why the occasional terminal "s"? Is it "Ransom" or "Ransoms"? And, should there be a cross-reference to Bärlauch (see, for example, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A4rlauch )? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.32.225.111 (talk) 19:08, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Healing properties
I have now been looking at several plants in the English Wikipedia now, including this one. The healing properties are never mentionned. The german version explains for nearly every wild plant the healing properties. Why not here too? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:EB:9BD4:1600:8C42:8D95:539E:7170 (talk) 13:35, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Is this actually true?
This statement in the article seems weird to me: "if Bears once feasted on them; today only farmed Cows love to eat them". we're sure about that? bears don't eat this plant any more? Okayjg (talk) 18:00, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
