History

[edit]
  • (see Etymology above) Link not needed.
  • The Slavs collected hogweed in May What season would that be? Summer? May be a helpful addition.
  • Beets (Beta vulgaris), Is it not too late to introduce beet? I think we can do without its scientific name here.
    • Beetroot is linked early in the article, but it takes you to an article about the taproot of a specific cultivar of the plant. Here, in the history section, we introduce Beta vulgaris as a wild plant ("a plant native to the Mediterranean Basin") and follow with the history of its domestication ("was already grown in antiquity...") and development of modern cultivars ("Beet cultivars with round, red, sweet taproots, known as beetroots, were not reliably reported until the 12th century..."). — Kpalion(talk) 12:24, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In culture

[edit]
  • Slight paraphrasing possible. Check for details here.
  • Images: The article looks a bit overladen with images.
    • Well, I disagree. I think the number of pictures is just enough to illustrate the diversity of colors, textures and possible ways of serving the soup. They were all carefully picked from a much larger number of borscht pictures we have at Commons. The way the article looks will depend heavily on your screen settings, but I haven't noticed a problem with text being sandwiched between images. — Kpalion(talk) 12:31, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • I don't see any squashing of the text. It is your choice as you should know what is best for the article. :) I guess I was stunned at such a gallery of beautiful images because I don't come across such vibrant articles very often. Sainsf <^>Feel at home 12:59, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That should be it. I am satisfied with your replies till now. These done, I would be happy to promote this beautiful article. Cheers, Sainsf <^>Feel at home 10:07, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
