The reference to Tiki mugs is advertising for the company https://www.vantiki.com It should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.255.184.60 ( talk) 06:06, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
Please can we find a mug that doesn't feature Australia or in fact any country/regional-specific elements, unless of course such regions/countries are relevant to the article. However, seen as Australia is irrelevant to mugs, it is bad editing to have the country incorporated into a country-nuetral article. Rfwoolf 01:18, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I have removed the mug showing images of Australia to comply with the NPOV (Neutral Point of View) policy encouraged by Wikipedia. I have replaced it with a mug featuring the Wikipedia logo. While I prefer this mug, and find it more neutral and clean and simple, we could possibly find even an even better mug with a better angle in the shot, to shows how liquids/beverages can be contained in the mug. Rfwoolf 13:59, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
This article mentions "In polite society".
What, pray tell, is that?
If it is indeed something, perhaps we could have a link.

Hi Rfwoolf. It is an elitist term used by a certain section of English society to place themselves above the majority. In my opinion it has no place in the article.Thanx Theriac 14:08, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi all. Is it definite that the mug is porcelain? It looks more like a design commonly made of earthenware. I know only a minor point but perhaps changing porcelain to ceramic would be better. Thanx Theriac 14:08, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
This article says: Secondly, an indented base separates the beverage from the surface upon which the mug is set. The form of the base is what produces the characteristic O-shaped stain, so often seen upon desks and documents.
Should we perhaps have an image of this?
Rfwoolf 07:06, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
We need to look into this nonsense very carefully. I early removed the link of Tasse which linked to a font -- so I assume that Tasse is a foreign word (please check the English Dictionary) -- and yet Demitasse remains linked to an article (which means it wasn't vandalism).
I've never heard of either, but that's not to say they don't exist, or that parts of the world indeed don't have such cups.
If anyone can enlighten us, please do!

As far as I know a 'tasse' is a pot of tea in german? 86.52.87.137 16:12, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
on the disambiguation page for coffee cup, coffee cup links to mug. Then this article on the mug refers to a coffee cup as something else. Please fix this!-- 199.243.252.196 17:02, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
I have never heard the use as mentioned in this article. If "beaker" meaning coffee cup is a regional term then it should say so. Personally, I think it should be removed entirely. Apologies for not signing my post correctly; I can't remember my user name.
I'm pretty sure that this article has all the unsourced and unverifiable tags because it is a defenition rather than an encyclopedia article. Dayleyj 03:51, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Some references (bear with me - I know these may not be usable references):

It's good to start some kind of collection, even if can't use 'em.
Rfwoolf 14:44, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
I think this article goes beyond what one would expect to find in a dictionary definition, for example when telling us the amounts of fluids held by cups as opposed to mugs.

The image is self-referencing and may break WP:ASR. We should use a different pic of a mug. D-Fluff has had E-Nuff 19:00, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
The point of WP:ASR is that we should not use wording or other content that becomes meaningless when copied verbatim to another setting or medium (such as answers.com or a print encyclopedia). I do not see how the wikipedia mug voilated that; it did not become more or less meaningful due to the incidental fact that the logo is that of the community that currently publishes the article with the image in it. However, since the matter seems to cause contention, I have now spent a few minutes with a digital camera and a plain mug from my kitchen shelves. Whether the result is "decent" I will not try to judge. Feel free to revert. – Henning Makholm 19:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Errr... can someone give the average storage capacity of these mugs (standard cylandrical ceramic/porcelain types). Does it hold 120mL? Thanks in advance! 67.170.100.48 ( talk) 20:33, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
The average "cup" is 250ml (in baking if it says "add two cups of water" it means 2 x 250ml). So a mug is probably slightly larger than that, but should always be more than about 250ml. Of course, you do get different size mugs. Rfwoolf ( talk) 23:13, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I was looking for explanation on "mug's game", but no trace in Wikipedia. What I have found is this nice link: [1]. -- 193.99.214.134 ( talk) 14:18, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
The red "travel mug" is a Stelton domestic vacuum flask [2]. 94.145.236.194 ( talk) 17:00, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
Image altered to Travel Mug from Wiki Commons, as existing image is not a travel mug Brugo ( talk) 16:10, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
I have also offered the following textual additions that have been reverted.
The travel mug has come a long way in since the 1980's - essentially keeping pace with the coffee-to-go market. The mug's thermodynamics (temperature retention) have evolved from thick walls of plastic/glass/metal to integral vacuum sealed manufacturing methods that retard temperature loss or gain to several hours. This has been driven by both consumer demands and improvements in manufacturing technology against a background of reducing manufacturing costs.
Most quality travel mugs no longer need handles as the mug itself is never hot to the touch – so the shape and form of travel mugs have changed significantly. The most recent development in travel mugs is a further consumer lead demand for mugs that are not just spill resistant but 100% leakproof.
I accept the comments that the text is insufficiently referenced and will resolve that. Brugo ( talk) 12:19, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure a "typical" mug in the US holds around 8-10 oz a coffee. They aren't twice the size of a tea cup, they are between 1.25 and 1.5X the size. A soda can holds 12oz; a standard drinking glass in my kitchen holds 12oz. A typical mug doesn't hold a whole can o soda, and a drinking glass only barely does it. Just to see, I took a normal sized mug from my kitchen, identical to the most commonly seen ones around this region (New England) and poured a can of soda into it. Brimming at the very top of the mug with soda (which I don't think is how cup capacity is measured), there is a still a small amount of liquid left in the can. That seems like 10oz to me, maybe 11 (which is unlikely. Around here a 12oz mug is a "large" mug, and a 16 oz is "jumbo". Oh, and here's a place selling "Standard sized Coffee cups and mugs (10oz.)" http://www.thecoffeebrewers.com/stsicocucomu.html. Maybe just say "8-12oz", but 16oz is apparently popular as well.

I was watching the 1968 film The Boscombe Valley Mystery, wherein Sherlock Holmes ordered a tankard of cider. When it arrived, I thought, "That's a mug." I came to wikipedia to discover the difference between mugs and tankards. From the respective articles, they appear to be the same thing. Yet neither article mentions the other. That doesn't seem appropriate somehow.
