[Untitled][edit]

The koliva that I saw in Cyprus was beautiful when placed on the altar, not the mixed up bowl of mush pictured here. The wheat was placed in the bowl first; then a cross made of sesame seeds. One quarter of the top was filled with raisins, one with blanched almonds and the other two opposite quarters were filled with bright red pomegranate seeds. How can I offer a better photo?72.128.43.108 04:03, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merger Proposal[edit]

This article and Colyba refer to the same subject. The Colyba article is lifted from a 1728 Encyclopedia. Any salient points from the Colyba should be merged into this main article here. Cheers. ΙΣΧΣΝΙΚΑ-888 (talk) 03:16, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It looks to me like there is nothing of value in the Colyba article. Perhaps, if this "Gabriel Archbishop of Philadelphia" could be identified, that statement might be worth moving. Dogface (talk) 01:51, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Given the complete lack of interest in the question and the obsolescence of "Colyba", I have completed the merger.Dogface (talk) 03:20, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion of cited content[edit]

This is a follow-up to a discussion with Idiam about the kollyva/kollyba spelling issue. I don't have any knowledge of Greek, but the Etymology section explains that the work originates with the Classical Greek kollyba, and provides citations for this. A quick Google brought me a couple more: Kollybos (Brill) and Definition and the Miracle of Saint Theodor Tyron (The Ascetic Experience). The guidelines for articles, and WP:LEAD in particular, state that alternative spellings should be included in the lead section (which by the way doesn't need citations so long as citations are supplied in the body of the article).

If you wish to discuss or challenge anything of significance in the article, the place to do it is on the talk page. If an experienced editor has reverted your edit, it is probably for a good reason, and just changing it back is likely to get you into trouble for edit warring. I hope that this explains why I reverted your changes. You can comment here, where other editors can see your questions and concerned, and if you wish can ping me, as per the instructions on your talk page.

Change is to are.[edit]

As the article suggests , the dish koliva is actually in plural form , so we have to either change is to are through or write "the dish koliva" if you use a. 185.44.147.26 (talk) 14:55, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name in English. Overcrowded lead.[edit]

Is there one (preferred) English spelling?

The lead has far too many "versions", which are actually none. These aren't English spelling variations! They are, either 1:1 or by transliteration, the actual words used in different Orthodox-majority countries. As such, they are far too many for the lead. A separate "etymology" and/or "variations by language" section should deal with that, but most certainly not the lead. Arminden (talk) 15:01, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just a question…[edit]

The first two pictures … look nasty. … Is it supposed to look like that? It looks like if somebody ate bird fat balls, and barfed them into a bowl again. … I’m sure Romanians are interested in representing their dish in the best way, and not like this. I know they aren’t as childish as us westerners, otherwise I’d say they would get “offended” if they saw it represented like this. … Did nobody have any better pictures? — 2A0A:A546:FE76:1:7634:A54A:79A9:F2EA (talk) 16:27, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
