"It is commonly agreed that Tangerines are not as good as Clementines. They are considered to be flabby, and simply not worth the effort."

Is this meant to be a joke? It seems to be editorialising.

Shouldn't this article be merged with the article for Clementine? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.30.91.246 (talk) 19:04, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mandarin oranges

Why is there both a mandarin orange article and a tangerine article, when both articles acknowledge that they're talking about C. reticulata? One should be merged. --76.223.219.98 03:35, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the anon.--Lenticel ^(talk) 23:13, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. Two different breeds of the same species. You may as well merge "doberman" with "shi-tzu." Fishamaphone (talk) 10:37, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Change mandarin orange to mandrin family if you move tangerine. 143.239.89.201 (talk) 19:35, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone add the nutritional Composition of tangerines, I am just revising a project and would like to know if there are any maor differences between tangerines and oranges. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.209.147.11 (talk) 00:49, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merger with Mandarin Orange

I think it would be more appropriate to merge mandarin orange into tangarine, as that is the more common name. My understanding is that the Clementine is also a variety of tangerine. --Zeamays (talk) 02:13, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not merge: Users may well seek information on tangerines, or on two of its cultivars specifically: mandarin or clementine. The terms are common enough (& the entities distinct enough) that I think they should remain separate articles & not be merged. 69.140.161.90 (talk) 14:09, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not merge: It's not wrong to merge clementines into tangerines into mandarin oranges, and maybe even merge them all with satsumas/mikans. But the fact is, there are four distinct varietals here: mandarin oranges, tangerines, clementines, and satsumas. Combining them would be like combining all types of Canis lupus familiaris (dogs). AyaK (talk) 21:41, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They of course cannot be merged. Tangerine and mandarin orange are two different fruits commonly found in my country, Malaysia, especially during the Chinese New Year. Tangerine, which is about the size of or slightly smaller than an orange, is often imported from China, eaten fresh and given as gift during Chinese New Year; whereas, mandarin orange, which is about the size of a small lime, is more commonly planted for Chinese New Year decoration as a symbol of good luck than being eaten.(Pei Yee)

They should not be merged since both are different entities. Although they look alike and have the same contents but still they are different species as described above. We already see some links in the related links section and that should solve the purpose. That's what i think.
