add some content in Chinese part

Dumplings i originated from jiaozi in ancient China, also known as "jiao'er". It is a traditional pasta of the Han nationality in China. It has a history of more than 1800 years. Dumplings are deeply loved by the Chinese people. They are also the staple food of the people in northern China and the food for new year's festivals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yifannn (talk • contribs) 01:48, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Georgian alphabet is not displaying correctly

In the entry for khinkali, the second to last letter in the Georgian name (ლ) is incorrect. Strangely, it's impossible to type in the letter and it won't even paste from Google translate. 000Lynn000 (talk) 00:36, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Corn dogs

Are corn dogs dumplings? A hot dog is a sandwich. 108.21.243.41 (talk) 00:17, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, corn dogs aren't dumplings. Wrong shape, plus they have a stick. Hush puppies are probably dumplings, tho. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:300:C7C0:1896:45CE:FCED:5F2E (talk) 23:08, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ridiculousness of this article and talk page

Dumplings, and many of the things posited to be dumplings, are all part of the super-category of "Wheat with filling". Not all members of that category are dumplings, dumplings are within the category. PLEASE STOP. 46.7.119.86 (talk) 00:53, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actual Dumplings?

Why is there not a single mention (that I can find) of *actual* dumplings, as served in the UK in meat stews, which are made from just flour, beef suet and salt? This isn't some crazy, off-beat recipe; it's the *main* recipe here in the UK, and dumpling mix is on every supermarket shelf. Even the 'main ingredients' section mentions only flour and bread. It's fine to list Asian & 'World' versions too, but what's going on? In 18 years of using and editing Wikipedia I've never found a more incomplete article, and there are some doozies out there! I've never worried about editing an article before, even religious ones, but the very, very odd omission of the UK dumpling makes me feel that edit warring could result if I amended the article to add this national dish.

Dumpling → Dumplings – The Wikipedia manual of style calls for the singular form in article titles wherever reasonably possible. However, dumplings are probably an exception - it is very rare for a single dumpling to be served to a person. For example, the Polish name given here as the equivalent to "dumpling" is the plural "pierogi", not the singular "pierog". There is a dish actually called a pierog, but it's a completely different dish from the "pierogs" that make up pierogi.

I propose a move to the plural form. — The Anome (talk) 20:16, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Agree based on nominator’s rationale.
