This page has very ugly layout with the image on the left hand side of the page and needs to be repaired.— Trevor Caira 01:50, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
The spotty bowl is one of the main bowl types - surely there's a free image somewhere? 217.205.94.62 ( talk) 07:23, 14 April 2009 (UTC)SBowlio
You can see there was one here that linked to tazón. there's such an article, but at wikidata's you can see that links to another, this one : cuenco. When it is here, we cannot see the one from wikidata. I'm hiding it like a commentary, but you may remove it, if better. -- PLA y Grande Covián ( talk) 21:59, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
There was a line at the end of the introductory paragraph, saying "In Nepali a bowl is also called Kachaura." Took it out. It was not connected to anything else, and seemed to contribute nothing besides the Nepali word for "bowl". If it was appropriate then we'd be mentioning the other 200 words for bowl in other languages... and Wikipedia is not a dictionary.
If there was some unique significance to Nepalese bowls, it should be rewritten to explain it.

I'm new to editing Wikipedia, so I had a noob question. Would it be appropriate to include a short snippet about the etymology of the word "bowl" on this page? I saw there was a an etymology section for the bowl entry on Wiktionary, but I wasn't sure about including it in Wikipedia. Is there a general policy on this?

In the opening section I found:
There are six sentences and each one begins with the word "bowl" or "bowls"; this is stylistically abominable: the repetitions make for dullness, and the information could be placed in fewer sentences with varied openings.
Bowls are round, or better, semi-spherical, period. If a container is square or rectangular, it is not—I repeat, NOT—a bowl. Women keep their jewelry in a jewelry box; you cook a meatloaf in a casserole dish. Bowls are semi-spherical to make it possible to move the food or liquid in certain ways, e.g., to stir or whip or whisk them; you cannot—I repeat, CANNOT—stir, whip, or whisk solids or liquids in a square or rectangular container. Square and rectangular containers are NOT BOWLS!
I will edit to remove the stylistic and logical defects.
