Advertising content in article?
The list of cheeses in this article is a very idiosyncratic collection. As well as many traditional types, some are new varieties supplied by a single maker. I wonder if they have been slipped in as advertising?
If this goes on, soon there could be thousands of cheeses in the article. I'd suggest culling the list only to include the major traditional types of cheese, not recent inventions proprietary to a single source.

- I agree. I've removed all that didn't have an article and any that were branded. Valereee (talk) 15:02, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Still true even with the much improved list; clearly it concerns Types of cheese but is essentially undue and indiscriminate for the current article. Accordingly I've moved it to its new home and given it a caption there. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:01, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

- Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Cannolis (talk) 14:44, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
Etymology
The etymology in this page is only partly correct. The Proto Indo European root is *kwh₂et-, not *kwat- (the vowel /a/ is not hypothesized to exist in PIE). This likely led to Latin caseus, but likely was borrowed from an unknown (and related) Indo European substrate language.
The PIE root *kwh₂et- did not lead directly to english <cheese>. Instead, caseus was borrowed at an early stage from Latin, and evolved to its modern form.
All of this info, plus sources, available under the Wiktionary pages for <cheese> and <caseus>. 151.205.171.125 (talk) 23:10, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
