This is an archive of the Food and drink WikiProject talk page for January 2008- April 2008 |
Turbinado, piloncillo, panela, jaggery, demerara, muscovado, sugarcane juice, rapadura, Steen's cane syrup, Florida Crystals, Sugar in the Raw, chancaca, and sucanat are essentially all unrefined or partially-refined sweeteners derived from sugarcane. Many of them vary in little more than name or region of production. Most of these articles are currently stubs, and should probably all be merged into a single article. I'd probably title the article Unrefined cane sugars. The jaggery and panela articles both list a lot of other synonyms which might be considered for redirects. List of unrefined sweeteners would need to be updated as well.

The article Economics of cocoa was originally at "Labor exploitation in the chocolate industry" - It needs a lot of rewriting and it needs to have other info too besides slavery of boys. WhisperToMe ( talk) 04:28, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Each food plant article should include:
Until we incorporate such information into the articles, what are the best external sources of such information?
This seems like a good global data resource:

Some of you may have seen my bot-generated report over on the Wine talk page of >10kb Start articles, whose size suggests that they might be ripe for either direct promotion or needing a few refs, images, copyediting or extra information before being B-ified. I've sort of done the same thing for FAD, except the bot timed out about a third of the way through - there's still plenty to be getting on with. The same caveats apply, the only criteria for this list is being a Start and being over 12kb, there may well be good reason for assessing that the FAD content of an article is only worth the current assessment. Anyway, here they are in descending order of size within each classification :
As an aside, well done to the Project for clearing the Top Stubs, there's only one left and to be honest I'm still undecided whether dish (food) should be a short Wiktionary definition or a massive multi-page article. ;-/ FlagSteward ( talk) 19:31, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Guys, would it be useful to get SatyrBot working for the Project? It can do a couple of things :
Seems to me that these would all be useful things to do although the new article categories have to be quite tightly managed. FlagSteward ( talk) 19:41, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Some guidance as to how to categorize this food in sundry geographic/cultural cuisines would be very helpful, Gwen Gale ( talk) 10:46, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Regarding Casu marzu, articles meeting the featured article criteria and passing WP:FAC in time can be considered for the April Fools' mainpage, as discussed at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2008-03-03/Dispatches. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 22:31, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello everyone. I just started this article, and at this stage it's just a stub, but any help on it, for example prices, more detailed nutritional info etc. would be great. Thanks. Tarcus ( talk) 09:56, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I was looking at some of the tasks to do for this Wikiproject when I noticed the following: "Bring these Top Importance articles currently at GA status up to FA status: Chocolate..." I went to Talk:Chocolate out of curiosity but noticed that the article was rated B-class rather than GA-class. Should this be corrected on the project page? GlobeGores ( talk page | user page) 02:10, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
I apologize for not really getting to either of these this month. I am reeeeally behind in my work on my thesis and I have been competing and judging culinary competitions with the American Culinary Federation so I have been really busy. My edit count is almost nil for this month but I am going to be working on some things this week as the school I teach at is on spring break. So do not dismay (if you like the newsletter and portal) as I will be updating them both for next month. The Food Portal will be changed to use the random portal generator better with many more articles on it so that if I miss a month again it will change randomly on its own other than the news section. On a side note, I got the Wine Portal up to be a featured portal a while ago so there is some great stuff over there.-- Chef Tanner ( talk) 16:55, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
I was thinking about doing something like this for the Food/Cooking related T.V. shows, what do you people think. Although i wasn't sure how i should "group them". 1. Each "gene" with a separate navbox.
2. Multiple "genes" per navbox.
Which type would you people prefer? Peachey88 ( Talk Page | Contribs) 12:56, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello, the project template:WikiProject Food and drink does not show the importance of an article in the box, you must scroll down to see the ratings as a category. Does anyone have the template knowledge to correct this? I will give it a crack myself if no one comes forward but I am a bit scared of changing a complex template used in so many places. GameKeeper ( talk) 17:51, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello,
there are currently 27 articles in the scope of this project which are tagged with notability concerns. I have listed them here. (Note: this listing is based on a database snapshot of 12 March 2008 and may be slightly outdated.)
I would encourage members of this project to have a look at these articles, and see whether independent sources can be added, whether the articles can be merged into an article of larger scope, or possibly be deleted. Any help in cleaning up this backlog is appreciated. For further information, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Notability.
If you have any questions, please leave a message on the Notability project page or on my personal talk page. (I'm not watching this page however.) Thanks! -- B. Wolterding ( talk) 16:01, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
In reviewing the Cuisine of Canada article, I decided that it required a navbox, so I added the following one:
I then decided to add this navbox to each of the other articles to which it links. Once I had started doing this, I realized that some of the "cuisine by country" articles used the title "Cuisine of Country" (ex. Cuisine of Canada, Cuisine of Antigua and Barbuda) while others used the title "Demonym Cuisine" (ex. Cuban cuisine, Dominican Republic Cuisine). Before I continue adding the previously mentioned navbox to each of these articles, I feel that it is important to decide which of these two formats is preferable and to rename the appropriate articles, for standardization's sake as well as the navbox. I felt that this would be the most appropriate place to begin a discussion. If you have a preference, please state your opinion so a decision can be made.

Cheese has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here.
Hi there- I'd like to start working a little more on content (I've been a recent changes/wikignome type for some time) and get an article up to GA status. I've decided to at least for now focus my efforts on the Jim Beam article, and I saw your wikiproject tag on the discussion page. I've begun research, but only made 1 qualitative edit so far, however I was wondering if I should post requests for folks to assist evaluating it after I work some more on it - and if so, should I post it here or at Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed Drinks, or perhaps somewhere else I'm not aware of. Any info would be appreciated! CredoFromStart talk 17:08, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
