QPQ: Done.

Overall: Overall, good. I think the first hook is fine with the "traditionally believed". Though I think a slight rewording to something like "believed in local tradition to be..." is a good idea to get some space between the two links. Unless there are objections I think we can go with it. Of the alts I think ALT2 is the most hook-y. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 19:12, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

@MtBotany: Thank you for finding a more reliable source for the "Persian sugar" name - I've switched it. I a fine with your rewording for the hook (updated above as ALT0a). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:59, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

@Piotrus: I think we're good to go once the QPQ finishes. I'll keep an eye on that. Also give some time for others to weigh in if they have concerns about WP:MEDRS regarding ALT0a. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 15:40, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
