Squash was domesticated multiple times throughout the Americas; this should be reflected in the article with the appropriate sources. I don't have the time to right now, but I will eventually if no one else does. TangoFett (talk) 09:58, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

It may be worth clarifying the etymology, since right now it indicates that curcubita is Latin for a thing that the article later explains is a new world invention, which presumably the Romans wouldn't have been discussing. It looks like the etymology is better explained by saying that it's Latin for a melon or gourd-like receptacle, but I don't have a great source other than wiktionary for that yet. So if anyone already has a clarifying source, it might be worth adjusting the lead to be less circular. —penultimate_supper 🚀 (talk • contribs) 10:25, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm sorry, I completely missed the inclusion of bottle-gourds in the curcubita family despite reading a few sources that came up when I looked more into the etymology. I still think it might be worth saying 'Latin for gourd or melon', since that seems to have been true, and prevents the appearance of circularity, but clearly my morning brain is not detail oriented enough to jump to criticism. Sorry again for a dumb mistake! 🤷🏻♂️ —penultimate_supper 🚀 (talk • contribs) 10:37, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
