Include recipes?

[edit]

I'm glad this new article exists, and I think the background on the history and the celebrations are really interesting/useful to have here. I'm unsure whether the article should include the recipes, though. What do others think? It may be more traditional to include an external link to a site that posts recipes. Alternatively, perhaps we could include a list of the ingredients that typically make up a fastnacht instead of keeping it in recipe format. Jami430 (talk) 22:26, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

although my Pennsylvania Dutch soul loves fasnachts I don't think the recipes belong here. A brief description about different styles would be sufficient, along with an external link to the recipes perhaps. PurpleChez (talk) 17:42, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Improve tone/quality

[edit]

Several areas do not read like an encyclopaedia entry and should be rewritten, perhaps introducing additional sources. 170.28.136.41 (talk) 19:14, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Advertising?

[edit]

No one I know in the PA Dutch community makes Fastnachts with Coke. The blatant attempt to sell more Coke products with a link to the Coca-Cola website for Coke recipes seems wrong for Wikipedia.

Recipe Inclusion (part 2)

[edit]

I see there was a discussion about whether or not the recipes should be included above, but it's quite old so I figured a new discussion would suffice. Courtesy ping to the users in the discussion above (Jami430PurpleChez). I removed the recipes, but my removal was reverted by 155.91.45.237, so I wanted to see what people thought about inclusions of the recipes under WP:NOTGUIDE.

Article hijack

[edit]

This article was supposed to be about the festival, not the pastry. There is already an article about the pastry. Attempting to subvert an article into a hybrid of more than one subject or into a disambiguation page without authorization is called article hijack. The passages about the pastry have clearly been shoehorned into the original structure, resulting in monolithic pseudo-paragraphs consisting largely of original research. If no one with knowledge of this topic is willing to correct this situation by August 10, I am going to gut this article. Canonblack (talk) 22:33, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
