Red yeast rice ref?
I am willing to believe that red yeast rice is/was used in cooking in the Philippines - as angkak - but page 163 of the reference you provided mentions fermenting fish and rice without any description of it being red yeast rice or for that matter, mention of coloring being switched to achuete seeds. Can you find a different reference? If not, please delete. I have nominated this article for a Good Article review, and want to be sure that the references are valid. David notMD (talk) 12:01, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Wrong ref. I was just quickly copying a sourced sentence from another article, since I noticed the article does not seem to mention the Philippines at all. I've changed the wording and the references. But yes, angkak is traditional in Filipino cuisine, along with achuete, as the two main pre-modern sources of red food coloring. I'll leave it up to you whether to mention achuete or not, or change the wording further, but angkak was and still is most definitely used traditionally in the Philippines. It's also used in other SE Asian countries for similar fermented dishes (Cambodia, Vietnam, etc.), which you might want to address for the GA nom.-- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  13:01, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * My own expertise is on the dietary supplement side rather than culinary. In USA an interesting regulatory situation - legal to sell if does not contain the fermentation product that lowers cholesterol synthesis AND no claims are made that the supplement lowers cholesterol. People buy it because older versions contained monacolins and lowered cholesterol and were marketed as such. David notMD (talk) 16:37, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh wow. I didn't even read the rest of the article until now. Heh. It's weird to know that something ordinarily associated with fermented food here in most of East/SE Asia is being used as a drug/dietary supplement elsewhere. -- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  00:23, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Poor-faith comment
It’s fine to revert and then cite other sources that support what you say. It’s not fine to justify your original bad edit by falsely claiming another editor didn’t do due diligence. The “entire paper” says nothing like what you claim in your reversion comment. Please reconsider your behavior. If I have somehow missed the reference, then provide a page and quote. Strebe (talk) 04:37, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Tell me exactly which of my original changes were "not in the source"? I didn't change any information, I merely clarified two things. First the usage of the term "Malay Archipelago", which is an older term and a bit misleading as it is ethnocentric to the Malay people who are obviously only found in Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, and Indonesia, not the entirety of Island Southeast Asia. They are synonyms in this usage, so I don't understand what the problem is. The term Malesia would have worked too. They're the same terms. Only clearer in meaning.


 * Secondly, I clarified that the populations in the Mediterranean are not native and arrived there via ancient trade routes, as the original text simply said that they "existed there for centuries" with no explanation as to how they got there in the first place. This is in the original source, if you actually read past the abstract. The paper fully discusses how each species likely reached the Mediterranean and their origins.


 * I'm impatient with assumptions of poor faith, which is what your original revert was. I'm sure you're aware that reverting itself can be taken as assuming bad faith (see WP:REVEXP). That includes your most recent unnecessary revert which also does not make sense. I removed the CE from the dates, and you reverted it saying "do not use CE or AD unless required". So which is it? Use it or not use it? I'm not exactly a new editor, and wikilawyering is one of my pet peeves.


 * My expansion is unrelated to my original edit. Drama notwithstanding, my edit was clearly in good faith. Leave it at that. -- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  05:16, 12 April 2019 (UTC)


 * These were entirely my errors. Apologies. I think I need a rest. Too high a fraction of my time on Wikipedia is beating back entropy. Entropy becomes the presumption and then it just turns into seeing things. Strebe (talk) 05:51, 12 April 2019 (UTC)


 * I was snappy and impatient as well. I do hope I don't cause a Wikibreak. I'm in the same boat. Just took a chunk out of my morning to expand that article, so I wasn't exactly in the best of moods. I apologize. -- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  05:57, 12 April 2019 (UTC)


 * You were fine, really. I would have been cross in your place. Cheers. Strebe (talk) 06:25, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Coconut sprout?
Hi there, I saw that you had created the article coconut sprout but the article is only concerned with the sponge-like substance inside the coconut itself and mentions nothing about the shoot from which leaves form. The latter is what is usually viewed as being the sprout and is also known as heart of palm. Wouldn't it be better to use another word for this sponge-like substance? The word "sprout" is fairly ambiguous in this instance as it could mean both this spongy substance as well as the shoots that come out of it. One of the sources that you added in the article haustorium mentions "coconut apple" (see https://marketlessmondays.wordpress.com/tag/choosing-coconut/) which can only mean the spongy inside without the shoots. - Takeaway (talk) 13:21, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I am using the common name from the sources (e.g., ) which is also fairly accurate since it refers to the cotyledon of a sprouting coconut. Google seaching "coconut sprout" also results in this usage, not heart of palm.


 * I have considered the other names, but in my opinion, they're all less suitable. "Coconut apple" is too ambiguous (it can refer to flavor combinations of coconut and apple). "Coconut pearl" is taken by the hoax/legendary coconut pearl. "Coconut cotyledon" and "Coconut haustorium" are accurate, but too technical for laymen. "Coconut embryo" is incorrect.


 * "Shoots" is not a synonym of "sprouts" either. Heart of palm is a completely different product created from the center of the apical leaf buds of palms. They are extracted from mature palms or palm seedlings that are wide enough to have harvestable cores (at least 1 to 2 years old), so the word "sprout" doesn't apply to them anymore. More importantly, I can not see any sources where heart of palm from coconuts is referred to as "coconut sprout". The closest I can see are palmyra sprouts (which really do come from sprouting palmyras).


 * That said, I've moved the article to Sprouted coconut as the more common form of the name.-- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  18:03, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi. I'm glad an article inspired you to register, but I'm a bit confused. If you're referring to the article on Moringa oleifera, I did not write that, I did not contribute significantly to writing that, nor did I write about that topic anywhere else in the internet.

Austronesian languages - "Comparison charts"
Hi Obsidian Soul! I would like to invite you to have look at this discussion Talk:Austronesian languages, for your opinion as a Filipino, and as an active editor in Austronesian cultural subjects. –Austronesier (talk) 10:41, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Πτεροδάκτυλος
Dear Obsidian Soul, you have added the name πτεροδάκτυλος in this edit. I doubt however, whether this word is actually attested in ancient Greek. Did you found this name in a source for ancient Greek, or did you used a source for modern Greek? Modern Greek knows a lot of internationalisms that use Greek word elements, while the full compounds do not originate from Greece. Wimpus (talk) 20:48, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, that was incorrect. This was 8 years ago, back when I was still new to editing. Heh. I don't even remember making this edit. The bottom paragraph of that revision (which has since disappeared), gives the correct etymology which identifies the component words πτερόn and δάκτυλος, not the "scientific Greek" compound word. My bad.-- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  22:06, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your response. I will removed the compound. Wimpus (talk) 07:52, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Onuad
Onuad root is mentioned in the article Tapuy, to which you've made some fairly recent contributions. I've added a note but can't fully get to the bottom of it - have you any thoughts? Ingratis (talk) 17:22, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
 * It seems both are used, which doesn't seem that unlikely given both are edible asters and have very similar habits. And not just the roots either, but seeds, flowers, and leaves. I found these papers from early descriptions of tapuy during the American period of the Philippines:
 * This mentions that C. caudatus is "ónwâd" in a footnote in p.104
 * "Since writing the above, I have learned some further details with regard to the manufacture of this yeast. The most important plant used is called ónwâd, in Ifugao, and its scientific name is Cosmos caudatus HBK., Compositae. The other plants used have no value as yeast producers, and are used only for religious reasons. They are sacred plants, commonly used in many different religious ceremonies."

 * From the same journal, we also have:
 * This on the other hand, mentions B. pilosa is "anguad" or "in-wood" (either cognates or different transcriptions of onuad) or "lad-lad-king", in a footnote in p.102
 * "The rice is boiled and put in baskets to dry. When dry it is mixed with a small quantity of bubud, which is a mixture of powdered rice, or rice flour, the roots, leaves, seeds, and flowers of a plant called anguad, lad-lad-king, or in-wood. The whole is then made into a pasty ball with water, dried in the sun, and powdered. Jars are half filled with this mixture and set away to ferment. The beverage can be drunk after three days. It is sometimes diluted with water to reduce its strength."

 * What's intriguing to me is that both are introduced species from the Americas, which makes me wonder what plant they replaced prior to the Spanish colonization.-- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  21:00, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Austronesian skink?
Recently there has been talk about the distribution of the emerald tree skink (Lamprolepis smaragdina) matching the distribution of Austronesian languages very closely. Could the emerald tree skink have traveled along with the Austronesian voyagers? To the best of my knowledge, nothing about this has been published yet. But when this does get published, perhaps it would be a good idea to add this species to domesticated plants and animals of Austronesia? Sagotreespirit (talk) 15:13, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah we can't really add an entry without papers supporting it. In my opinion, it's probably not a commensal, since it is a very good swimmer after all. But yeah, if (when?) a study gets published, we can add it. The only commensal animal that I know of identified by studies I've read is the Pacific rat (not including human microflora and parasites like human lice, of course). There's also the water buffalo which was carried to a limited range by Austronesians. Both of those I haven't added since I ran out of time expanding before real life got busier.-- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  08:52, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Ah, you already added more. Thank you. -- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  08:58, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The question is how skinks would have sneaked onto Austronesian boats. Usually you would think of geckos, not tree skinks, as maritime stowaways. So I'm not sure if this is due to coincidence. Sagotreespirit (talk) 06:01, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Also I've put up a list of animals that are reconstructable in Oceanic or an Oceanic subgroup, or are at least present in the Oceanic-speaking world: User:Sagotreespirit/Oceanic animals. Sagotreespirit (talk) 06:03, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * True, but they never reached Far Oceania or Madagascar though. Only in relatively near islands in maritime Southeast Asia and Australasia, which is why I kinda doubt it. But we'll see if a study gets published. I am by no means an expert. -- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  14:23, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Tubho tea
The Barcelona (2003) reference I added to Tubho tea is the only non-blog one I can find that gives a scientific name; if you search for something like "tubho tea biflora" you get a lot of Wikipedia mirrors of our article. She uses Sphenomeris biflora and gives the synonym Davallia biflora, so it's clear that it's the species that the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World and Plants of the World Online call Odontosoria biflora, hence my creation of the article, which you noticed. Do you know of any other reliable references that identify the species used to make the tea? Peter coxhead (talk) 09:50, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hm. I think Barcelona was also my original source for the name (couldn't find any other source either), but somehow forgot to include it. The rest of the sources was me trying to find the updated correct name and ending up using the one from Flora Malesiana. I think they also updated it. I am not sure though. Either way, yours is probably more up-to-date.-- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  10:28, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
