Cacao and Chocolate being Nahuatl words

The source given to attribute these is very controversial in linguistic studies. The Kaufman & Justeson 2009 source currently in the article is dedicated to debunking it. I have written out an outline of what the literature says on the chocolate talk page re; cacao, but the Nahuatl origin of chocolate is also contested, and it is not true that "there is no real doubt that the word chocolate comes from Nahuatl." I am not saying it isn't, just that it needs some attribution or recognition of it being contentious. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 12:45, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FA concerns

I am reviewing this article for URFA/2020, and I am concerned that this article no longer meets the featured article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

The lead, at six paragraphs, is longer than what is recommended at MOS:LEADLENGTH
There is a lot of uncited text, including entire paragraphs and the entire "Numerals" section,
I do not think the "Sample text" section should be in the article, as there are several examples in various sections.
The "Demography and distribution" section needs to be updated.

Is anyone interested in fixing up this article, or should it go to WP:FAC? Z1720 (talk) 21:35, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to take a look, thanks for the heads-up. Remsense诉 21:52, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
