Ugly fruit
You have changed the ugly fruit article from a redirect (ugli fruit) to a full-blown article, arguing that you are writing about "the generic fruit" rather than the trademarked item. Unfortunately, there is no fruit that is generically known as an ugly fruit in the same way that there is no generic bandage called a band-aid. The trademark ugli fruit applies to a variety of tangelo cultivated in Jamaica, and anything that you call an ugly (or ugli) fruit refers to that same object. Creating a new article about it is just a content fork. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:53, 22 February 2012 (UTC)


 * As per the above comment, there simply is no such thing as a fruit generically known as "ugly fruit", and the references you added don't support the claim that there is; every last one of them refers exclusively to either "ugli" or "uniq" fruit. Rather, the generic term is tangelo, and "ugly fruit" exists only as a misspelling of the trademarked name ugli fruit. Accordingly, please stop adding inaccurate information to Wikipedia.
