How should this subject be covered? There seems to be a big move to groups of restaurants that are not necessarily clones. They are often opened by a restaurateur a la Wolfgang Puck. There seems to be a wave of this type of restaurant organization of several independent and different restaurants opened under an umbrella group. Thoughts?

Hey all, I am thinking about putting up Sip 'n Dip Lounge for GAN. I've done quite a few GANs in the past, but mostly about people or horses, never one on a bar or restaurant-type of place, so thought I'd drop a line here to see if anyone wants to peek at the article and make any suggestions for improvement. (I usually don't do a PR until I'm heading for FAC with something). Thanks Montanabw (talk) 21:58, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
I created an article on this cocktail, but I can't find very good sourcing for it. Is it a real thing? Candleabracadabra ( talk) 20:02, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
I ran across the term pinard somewhere years ago and put it on my WP "to do" list. Apparently it's a French military term for wine, kind of akin in sentiment to "grog". A previous version was deleted in 2009 per WP:NOTDICT, but I think there's enough cultural context around pinard as a concept, not just a word, to justify an article (and fr.wiki seems to quite agree). I've put together a pretty basic version just based on English sources on GoogleBooks and an image from fr:Pinard (vin). If anyone is keen on this and speaks French, I'm sure much more could be said, though the fr.wiki version as it stands is just too flowery/sentimental/inside-jokey to pass en.wiki WP:TONE standards. Just thought folks might find this an interesting article about wine culture. MatthewVanitas ( talk) 19:58, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
![]() Hello, |
I'm not a member of this WikiProject, but I was looking for the article on the documentary film Farmland (which, amazingly, doesn't have an article yet), when I stumbled upon some other food industry documentaries, such as Fast Food Nation. I saw its extensive "See also" section, and noticed that it's essentially repeated in every article that it links to. So I thought it would be a good idea to make a template for it an include it in all the related articles. I came up with this:
I know the title of the infobox title isn't perfect, since all these articles are of the "Boo! Food industry bad! Boo!" variety, but please suggest a better title if you can think of one. Thoughts? Comments? Criticisms? — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 13:45, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
If I were looking for an article on oatcakes I'd probably end up at Oatcake but what I call an oatcake we call a Staffordshire oatcake. I'm not sure this makes sense as I think the most popular understanding of an oatcake is a Staffordshire oatcake. Dougweller ( talk) 18:34, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi all,
My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.
One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.
This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:
• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film
• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.
• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.
• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____
• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost
For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

There doesn't seem to be a suggested article outline for any class of food.
One section that seems to be missing is "History." For example, how did humans discover, come to cultivate, or process/prepare this food? And when? Student7 ( talk) 20:24, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
So I'm thinking about moving the table at Candy#Top-selling_candies over to List of candies. This would require updating a bunch of WP:FURs, so I'd like other people (who ideally will know more about what the list is intended to contain—there's chocolate and chewing gum in the proposed addition) to tell me what they think first. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 04:31, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
More community and project input could be helpful at a dispute at the Cuisine of Hawaii article. Some edit warring and the content dispute could also use more opinions on what images to use.-- Mark Miller ( talk) 06:01, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
Would someone please fix a recent edit at Auricularia auricula-judae ( diff). My guess is that the two references in the "name" field should be removed and replaced with the new reference that was added to the "source_usda" field (with the "name" and "group" items in that ref being removed). I suspect that source_usda would actually be removed because it does not make much sense to link to a search page if a ref to the actual page is provided in the ref. The box lists Calcium, Iron, Phosphorous. Why not also Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Selenium (which each seem to be more prevalent than Iron)? The value for "kcal" also needs to be fixed by removing "g". I would have a go at doing all that, but it would be better done by someone with a clue. Johnuniq ( talk) 01:28, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
I have requested comments about the recent restoration of this stub here. Viriditas ( talk) 02:34, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
this snail has been incorrectly tagged as WikiProject Food and drink it is a snail not a meal or drink — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sparkler99 ( talk • contribs) 10:54, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
I proposed last month re-organizing some of the candy-related articles. You can see my original plan here. As I've gotten further into the sources, though, I've found that my original plan to treat Hard candy and Sugar candy as essentially the same thing is not viable. So I have created Sugar candy as the intermediate step. The overall outline looks something like this now, if you were trying to classify a simple sugar candy like a Dum Dum Pop:
My main source for Sugar candy is an industry book that contains a fair bit of technical detail. In the course of working on this, I have discovered several missing articles about sub-categories of sugar candies. Feel free to look at the list, and keep WP:DYK in mind for anything that's interesting.
Also, there is a fair bit of updating that should happen at other articles, because many older articles point to the very broad subject of Confectionery in their first sentences, and they really ought to point to Sugar candy or even one of the subtypes (like Hard candy) instead. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 21:50, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
I have proposed the creation of WikiProject Poultry; if you are interested please see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals/Poultry_(proposal_2). This project will cover all areas of poultry, including usage in food. JTdale Talk 12:04, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
I am a bit startled by a SPA, working on Heston Blumenthal and the related Triple Cooked Chips and The Fat Duck. I do not know if this is just plain enthusiasm or something less wanted. I would like it when more people take a look at it. The Banner talk 21:46, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
A merge discussion is underway at Talk:Parmigiano-Reggiano#Proposed merge with Parmesan regarding the newly created article Parmesan. Also see the earlier move request for further background. Ibadibam ( talk) 01:20, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
Hello. I am curious about Category:Food and drink articles needing attention to grammar, a category that includes Talk:Drinking fountain. There are no particular grammar problems on Drinking fountain, and no language or style-related maintenance tags in the article itself. I also don't see anything on the talk page that would occasion this categorization, except for {{ WikiProject Food and drink}}, which puts the article in the "start" class. Am I right in guessing that all articles below a particular class are automatically classified as "needing attention to grammar"? If so, that strikes me as an odd and rather unhelpful category. It will include well written (in grammatical terms, anyway) articles that lack sources and are thus stub- or start-class just as readily as articles that could actually benefit from grammar-minded copy editing. I haven't noticed such categorization from other banners based on {{ WPBannerMeta}}; I wonder how common it is. Cnilep ( talk) 03:20, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Hello food experts. This old Afc submission is about to be deleted as a stale draft. It's rather promotional, but I am willing to remove any fluff if the subject is notable. Should Wikipedia have an article about this person? — Anne Delong ( talk) 05:32, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
An article that you have been involved in editing, Nagpur orange , has been proposed for a merge with another article. If you are interested in the merge discussion, please participate by going here, and adding your comments on the discussion page. Thank you. Cnilep ( talk) 02:38, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
I removed the Czech road sign from Template:Michelin stars in Amsterdam, Netherlands. would probably be better to have an image of the cover of the Michelin guide, but a Czech road sign seems inappropriate. please make any comments at Template talk:Michelin stars in Amsterdam, Netherlands, if you like the Czech road sign, think we don't need an image, or if you have other suggestions. Frietjes ( talk) 22:09, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
I've made a little progress on candy-related articles, and have a few notes to pass along.
Looks as if Ref 2 to the Saturn Peach article needs to be deleted as its target is not relevant - as far as I can see. Segilla ( talk) 21:27, 29 June 2014 (UTC).
