I will read The Politics of Food in The Nation, by Maria Magaronis and we will also break up and read 'The Politics of Food' by Marianne E. Lien on Googlebooks. We are still looking for more sources as well.

Also, there is a food politics page on Wikipedia which we will attempt to contact the creator and invite him to help us in our page.

I am reading excerpts from the book, "The Politics of Food Supply", by Bill Winders. I have also found another article that i will site later. Nikzen ( talk) 22:32, 16 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikzen ( talk • contribs) 18:44, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
Has anyone had any more luck finding good articles? I am still having trouble although i am looking. I am planning to get an entry in on the page by late tonight... hoping i find a good article.

This is the article i used to write the first paragraph under the United States. I am still confused as to how to cite articles on here. so i will figure it out later.

I am seeing only one person editing this article so far. At this point, as indicated in the assignment, you should all be editing the article and integrating your drafts together.
As such, I can hardly review the article, as it is only Shaq's draft. Here are some early comments; let me know ASAP when you have caugh up with our deadlines:
You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 21:27, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Comment: you should not use plain html links but format them properly per WP:CITE, also, http://static.scribd.com/docs/4bh14golg7n02.pdf is good for a mirror but you should use the JSTOR academic database stable link as your primary: http://www.jstor.org/pss/1173726 -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:42, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello all, impeccable work on the article so far, Kudos all round.
I would however give a few pointers on how to correctly CITE and how to use <ref name= > and the use of citation templates.
The most common ref you are going to use for this article is {{ cite book}} reading through the template pages should give you a very good idea of how to use them. You don't have to fill out all the information on every cite. however the more information the merrier. title= is the only field that is compulsory for {{ cite book}}.
So using Globalization in World History as an example you would fill it out like this: <ref>{{cite book |last1=Hopkins |first1= A.G.|authorlink1= A.G._Hopkins |last2= |first2= |editor1-first= |editor1-last= |editor1-link= |others= |title=Globilization in World History|trans_title= |url= |format= |accessdate= |edition= |series= |volume= |date= |year=2003|month= |origyear= |publisher=Norton|location=[[New York City]] |language= |isbn=0393979423|oclc= |doi= |id= |page= |pages= |trans_chapter= |chapter= |chapterurl= |quote= |ref= |bibcode= |laysummary= |laydate= |separator= |postscript= |lastauthoramp=}}</ref>
As you can see this has left rather a large amount of fields unfilled, that's okay, in fact we can get rid of them, leaving us with this: <ref>{{cite book |last1=Hopkins |first1= A.G.|authorlink1= A.G._Hopkins|title=Globilization in World History|year=2003|publisher=Norton|location=[[New York City]]|isbn=0393979423}}</ref>
Now, obviously, you are using the book multiple times through the article so rather than cutting an pasting each and every time I'm going to show you how to use <ref name= > so what we are going to do is give the reference a name, we'll call it "hopkins", but you can all it anything "Globalization", "global" or even "asghd" or "iu43gh", ANYTHING, but to make it easy to remember we'll just stick with "hopkins" (it is cAsE SenSItiVE) so make sure you stick with either upper- or lower-case. So you simply put in <ref name= > the first time that you use the ref instead of <ref> and then every time you want to use that ref you simply put in <ref name=hopkins/> So now every time that you want to reference Globalization in World History all you need to do is put in <ref name=hopkins/>.
Now you want to quote an individual page, but you don't want to have to cut and paste and modify the cite each time you ref a page, so (as odd as this may sound) ignore what I just told you. Well, not entirely. we'll still use <ref name= > so when we want to quote page three multiple times we'll call our new ref "hop3" and when we quote page 21 we'll call that "hop21", but again it can be anything so now we'll fill the article full of this; <ref name=hop3>Hopkins 2003, page 3</ref> [1] and this; <ref name=hop21>Hopkins 2003, page 21</ref> [2], then whenever you want to ref page three you simply put in <ref name=hop3/> [1] and to ref page 21 use <ref name=hop21/> [2]
Then we need to split the references section at the bottom in two: ==Notes== and ==References== in ==Notes== we'll stick the {{ reflist}} template, and since it is a particularly large amount of references will split it into 4 columns by writing it like this: {{reflist|4}} this will automatically list all the <ref>'s throughout the article and sort them into 4 even columns for us.
Under the ==References== We'll list each of the books like this: {{cite book |last1=Hopkins |first1= A.G.|authorlink1= A.G._Hopkins|title=Globilization in World History|year=2003|publisher=Norton|location=[[New York City]]|isbn=0393979423}}. That way when people see "Hopkins 2003, Page 3" listed under ==Notes== they'll know to look for it under ==References== for Hopkins name.
If you've done it all properly it should look like below.
Hopkins, A.G. (2003). Globilization in World History. New York City: Norton. ISBN 0393979423.
You may also want to check out the various other citation templates and use those in the article. Sanguis Sanies ( talk) 17:19, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
Unfortunately, this article seems to have copyright problems.
While the sources are not freely viewable, there can be no doubt that this article duplicates them. For instance, see: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] . One entire section is heavily infringing on [7] I've blanked the article, since copying is confirmed. I'm afraid that the article will need to be reviewed carefully to remove copyright violations and ensure that there is not text duplicated from other sources. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:45, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
The section on the United States is blanked out still. Is that because Shaq edited to it as well? Because i added some to that section as well that was not copyrighted. Also, i have not been editing because i thought that the copyright sign specifically said not to edit until it was removed. I was a little confused. But you said i can still see it in the edit page setting? Do you know when it will be back up? It is hard to read and make edits in that form and without being able to see it like it is in the article. I know that i have to go back and do all the page numbers but i need to remember and look through my notes and my sources and it would make it a lot easier if it was up. Thank you!
Dorothy R Smith ( talk) 01:51, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
I took off the copyrighted paragraphs and will be adding it back in a few hours paraphrased and in my own words. Sorry for the confusion. ShaqSmith ( talk) 07:39, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
←Since the article has been listed for two weeks and it has been four days since the last action taken to revise the copyright concerns, I've removed the remaining problematic sections. The temporary page has been deleted. The entire article is now open for editing. Contributors seeking to replace the copyright problems that were removed are asked to be careful to be sure that new content is written in completely original language. I am watching the article and will try to help if I see problems. Alternatively, you are welcome to come by my talk page if you need copyright-related feedback on proposed material. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:20, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Why was this article moved to Food Power? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 02:59, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
I am not sure what you mean. There was something moved to our article?
Dorothy R Smith ( talk) 06:16, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Sorry ShaqSmith ( talk) 19:56, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
I can think of many more instances when control of the food supply was used to control domestic politics, than international relations. This goes all the way back to the Pharaohs' control of Anciet Egypt's grain silos, includes the famous Grain supply to the city of Rome, and come to think about it every seige of a castle during the middle ages involved the use of "food power". More modern examples include the use of forced starvation as a punishment to resisting land collectivization in the Soviet Union (see Holodomor), and Iraqi and North Korean divergence of food aid to supporters of dicatatorial regimes. I think the article is incomplete for ignoring this. -- Kevlar ( talk • contribs) 19:02, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Before my addition was taken down from the pagem, my idea was to add a global Food Power ranking to the article. I felt like the article needed that to be more complete, due to the fact that it only talks about less than ten countries. In my addition, I added 10 countries that are considered great in the food game, including thge US, China, and multiple European countries.
