Comments[edit]

In the "History" section, it mentions: In Old English, the term plūme was "from medieval Latin pruna, from Latin prunum, which equated to prune, followed by a citation. Where is the segment with quotation marks, beginning at "from medieval...", supposed to end?

I have corrected this in the article, adding the endquote and also italicization, per the source (diff, diff). North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 12:26, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also in that section, two passages read as, respectively, "the term plum cake still typically refers..." and "the term plum originally referred..." Odds are this boils down to nitpicking on my part, but I really think it's better to have "plum cake" and "plum", when referred to as terms, put in quotes - either singular or double - to emphasize that it's the word or phrase being discussed in that sentence, and not the object it refers to.

Quote marks have been added to denote terms in the article (diff, diff). Thanks for the suggestions. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 12:26, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. Note that when working on this article, I used almost all of the reliable sources available online. The topic has received significant coverage, but many sources only provide mentions, etc. I mention this because while the article may seem short at parts, it's based upon most of the available reliable sources about the topic.
