Including Tamil language as etymological root of candy

Tamil language has a word "கற்கண்டு" (karkandu), which could be the root of the word candy. This word is mentioned in old tamil literatures and is also used currently. I didn't see mention of Tamil. So I request that this be mentioned. Are there literary references in Sanskrit that rules out the origin from Tamil? - by Annamalai Gurusami. அண்ணாமலை குருசாமி (talk) 06:23, March 1, 2018‎

This is possible,^[1] and reflected in the Wiktionary entry. ─ ReconditeRodent « talk · contribs » 19:50, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Froid, I'm not sure why you added the names of the websites in this edit. This is not normal practice, and it is not recommended at Wikipedia:External links#External links section. Even when we call out the names of websites, it's more typical to say "at The Exploratorium" than "at exploratorium.edu". If there is some reason to depart from normal practice for these, then please ping me and let me know. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:22, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 11 August 2020

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Candy. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Reference #16 is a broken link - should point to this: https://www.sciencehistory.org/distillations/our-mutual-friend. 115.70.185.113 (talk) 11:26, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
