Grin, Wiki can be strange. There is no confusion though on what the item

Perhaps, if one lives in Asia for 6+ years, it's a little easier to see.

Cyercat made accidental (and hard to do) 'sticky rice' out of Jasmine long

Most sticky rices are medium grain, but short grain is also used. You have
to go west to India to see long grain 'prized'.
