Comparisons
What's the difference between mentioned and recommended?
Mentioned is being named in an answer, while recommended is being positively suggested as suitable for a need.
A mention can be incidental, descriptive or cautionary. Recommendation requires wording that conveys suitability or endorsement in context.
Name counts alone cannot establish recommendation quality. The exact language and the user's question should be considered together.
