Talk:Kinnikinnick (disambiguation)

Kinnikinick redirect
Currently, Kinnikinnick redirects to Bearberry but around where I live, we call the Red Osier Dogwood as "kinnikinnick" and bearberry as something that is added to the "kinnikinnick." Is this a pure regionalism or should this redirect instead go to a disambiguation page and from the disambiguation to the various uses of this word? CJLippert 23:37, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Or should the redirect instead go to the Red Osier Dogwood instead and not here at Bearberry? CJLippert 20:51, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I would still hold that the Red Osier Dogwood use is a minority (local) use of the word. But does this mean that we should have an article on kinnikinnick as a smoking mixture? I still find knnikinnick used most often for bearberry.  Even the Minnesota source cited in the bearberry article admits the inclusion of bearberry in the mixture. --Bejnar (talk) 23:13, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Bearberry is by far the most common, but Red Osier Dogwood is common as well, but not as common as Bearberry. Calling other plants Kinnikinnick is even more rare. I came across yet another plant called Kinnikinick, and it too is used in a smoking mixture (no surprise). I agree, we may need an article on a smoking mixture, as not all Kinnikinick recipies calls for either Bearberry or Red Osier Dogwood, and what can go into the mixture varies by region as well.

 * This page is now Kinnikinnick (disambiguation) while the article on the smoking product is Kinnikinnick. CJLippert (talk) 21:43, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
