Why is it called tartrate and not tartarate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.240.73 (talk) 06:25, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It makes me laugh that somebody added LSD to this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryanaslett (talk • contribs) 04:21, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've long felt that silver nitrate should be used as a food additive, and I'm glad to learn from this article that food processing industry agrees. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.174.145.89 (talk) 02:11, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The last paragraph needs some rephrasing. 129.255.224.159 (talk) 17:27, 13 September 2012 (UTC) AEPD[reply]

Tartrate is also used in a medicine to affect blood pressure and other heart irregularities such as premature ventricicle(sp?) contractions. (METOPROLOL TARTRATE)

Minor bug

Hey I noticed when one Googles "Tartrate" the small description box that is produced by the search engine says "formula: C₂H₄O₆₂-". I think the charge somehow got messed up in the formatting and if there is anybody who is a Wiki formatting genius could u do that for the community. IDK how to and it bothers me. TY

“Harmless”

In terms of "harmless," as the crystals on the wine cork were said to be- potentially it's prudent to avoid saying something is "harmless" at least without defining the context better- to canines the crystals (reference: article on tartaric acid) might indeed be potentially harmful. Tartrate salts (ibid) were also used by Biot and Pasteur to help resolve (heh) the issue of chirality (which might actually be more meaningful in the context of tartrate as a dianion than tartaric acid).
