Prawn Soup

The WikiProject Peru Award
Nice job expanding prawn soup. I just had this the other day and was delighted to see it on the main page almost immediately after eating it! DarjeelingTea (talk) 20:26, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
Nom nom nom
Ooh, sounds yummy! "P.S." Nice work on another food article. To supplement your WikiProject Peru award, I hereby bestow upon you membership in the Honorary Order of the Chupe de Camarones. Mudwater (Talk) 22:49, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
@Mudwater: Thanks! I'm a bit surprised that I've received such positive input regarding the article. I found it when surfing around, and thought, "I can expand this...". North America1000 23:34, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
@Mudwater:Here's my latest creation: List of peanut dishes. Add to it, if you'd like! North America1000 23:35, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

I have rescinded the nom and User:Mduvekot has done some clean-up which has removed my worries. Would you mind doing an early close? Thanks in advance! Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 00:06, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Yup, saved us some time I guess. Have a nice vacation! Don't stay too far away from AfD, we need you! Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 20:01, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

AfD help

Hi there. Don't know what happened, but when I hit send query regarding this article, Foreign Coins In Coin Roll Hunting, it wasn't added to the log properly. I went to the AfD discussion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Foreign Coins In Coin Roll Hunting), and hopefully fixed that (which was correct either), but can't correct the log. Thanks. Onel5969 TT me 22:31, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks. I must've fixed it but didn't see it because of not purging the cache. Thanks for checking. Onel5969 TT me 22:44, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

19:50, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Hey there. It seems that the article was deleted in an AFD discussion last year due to a lack of significant roles and a lack of coverage in reliable sources. However, since then, she has been cast as the character Rumia (a main character) in the anime Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor. With this, I now assume that she passes WP:ENTERTAINER. Would it be advisable for you to restore the article, or should I take it to Deletion Review first? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:49, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

  • Hi Narutolovehinata5: I hesitate to restore the article because the subject does not appear be notable per Wikipedia's notability standards. Note that meeting WP:ENTERTAINER is not a guarantee of notability. In the lead of the Additional criteria section there, it states:

People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included.

The only source in the (now deleted) article was this one from Anime News Network in the External links section, and source searches are only providing a few passing mentions (see below).
Can you provide any sources demonstrating that the subject meets WP:BASIC? North America1000 04:37, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
Well, I just checked, and a search using her name in Japanese (宮本侑芽) failed to find significant coverage in Japanese either. I guess you're right, it migt be a little premature to recreate the article yet. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 05:37, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Recipes

Hi Northamerica1000,

Are recipes considered appropriate references when it comes to food and cuisines on Wikipedia? If so, what are some good books and websites that can be used here? If not, what are some alternative sources that editors around here generally use? Thanks in advance. CubeSats4U 07:59, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

  • Hello CubeSat4U: I consider recipes published by reliable sources usable for verification in instances when the source has little information about the dish itself other than a list of ingredients and cooking instructions. However, oftentimes recipes in reliable sources will also provide an overview of a dish and information about a dish's cultural relevance, a dish's history, etc., which can be used to establish topic notability.
Regarding what constitutes reliable sources for Wikipedia's purposes, check out Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Also, the {{Friendly search suggestions}} template I posted below may be of assistance in locating sources.
A decent page regarding reliable sources for cuisine-related topics is WikiProject Food and Drink's Sources page. Be sure to check this out. It's not a conclusive list, but it provides some nice examples. North America1000 09:13, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Declined proposed deletion of Sand Glass

Is there anything at Sand Glass that you think is worth salvaging? The photos are terrible and there are no sources, so I'm not quite sure what a merge would look like. If there's something you think has merit, let me know and maybe we can draft a sentence or two for Sand. Cheers! —jameslucas ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄ 00:38, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Now Bunytou, creator of Sand Glass, has awakened from a 5-year slumber and summarily removed your merge tag. I'm not sure what the most appropriate thing to do here would be, but I trust you know the protocol! (Tangentially related, I wonder if Office toy may be a good home for any references to the object described at Sand Glass. Thoughts?) —jameslucas ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄ 16:01, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
I still think those photos are terrible (as they are blurry and don't capture the sand while in motion through the fluid), but I'm fine with this approach for now. Having Sand Glass gone is a big step in the right direction, so thank you! —jameslucas ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄ 16:26, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

A few days ago I started Category:Food waste. In looking at the concept, I was not sure that it merited a category. After searching around I found a few articles which were related, and so I thought to make the category.

I am pleased today to see that you have added more items to the category and that it is quite filled out now. You found articles which obviously belong but which I could not find and did not think to seek out. What you did is very encouraging. Thanks for that. Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:37, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

  • Hi @Bluerasberry: Thanks. My method was to add the term "food waste" in the upper-right search box that appears on most Wikipedia pages, after which time, an option appears on a scroll-down screen to choose articles containing the terms. This revealed relevant articles. North America1000 14:43, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Re: Gong Show

Hi, thanks for the heads up! I had heard about the revival but didn't know exactly when it was going to be airing.

Category:North Korean cuisine

Hi, Northamerica1000! I removed Category:North Korean cuisine from ramyeon and tteok-bokki as tteok-bokki doesn't exist in North Korea and instant noodles in North Korea aren't called "ramyeon". I'd also appreciate if you could explain why the category was added to miyeok-guk‎, japchae‎, and many other dishes that exist in both Koreas. 🍲 --Brett (talk) 03:56, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi @Brett Cox: Tteok-bokki exists in North Korea under the name "Ddeokbokki". See List of North Korean dishes for the sources that back up the category additions. No worries about the removal of Ramyeon, which I also recently removed from the article. North America1000 04:18, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the prompt reply! The list cites this article, according to which tteok-bokki does seem to be a dish sold for foreign tourist in North Korea. But this NK News article and this Guardian article say that tteok-bokki is unheard of to North Korean residents. I think it would be good to build criteria for the NK-cuisine / SK-cuisine categories and write it somewhere. I personally preferred using the categories with the dishes that exist or eaten exclusively/dominantly in NK/SK but not in the other Korea, but that's just my preference and you might not agree. --Brett (talk) 04:33, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
  • (ec) @Brett Cox: Update: Upon consideration, I have removed the Ddeokbokki entry from the list article. While it exists in North Korea per a different source I found, it does not appear to be a common food there (per source searches). North America1000 04:35, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
  • @Brett Cox: Regarding categorization, I feel that common dishes and foods in North Korea should be included in the North Korean cuisine category, regardless of whether or not they are common in South Korea. Also, the North Korean cuisine category was rather barren until I began populating it. North America1000 04:38, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

List of hams

Chinese hams
Sources? Hard to get here in China. Chinese sources are lousy. Western sources are tough to get due to Google being blocked. Photos, maybe. I think we discussed this ages ago, but there is a hanging meat shop downtown that I could visit and maybe get permission to take a few shots. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:55, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
Anna Frodesiak: Just figured I'd ask. Hey, more images are always a boon. Also, there's other notable hams out there that don't have articles yet. Takes time, though. North America1000 06:03, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

User talk:Northamerica1000/Archive 71#Category:North_Korean_cuisine

For me, it seems natural that most of the traditional (pre-Korean war) Korean dishes are common in both North and South Korea. And most dishes in Category:Korean cuisine are traditional dishes, with some exceptions, such as: Modern South Korean inventions, such as spicy tteok-bokki (first made in the 50s in SK); Regional dishes, such as sungeo-guk (Pyongyang region in NK) and jaecheop-guk (Yeongnam and Honam regions in SK). Other dishes in the Korean cuisine category, in my opinion, is better without NK/SK cuisine categories because tagging all of them with both NK/SK cuisine categories will be a hassle. I'd like to hear your thoughts. --Brett (talk) 03:53, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

  • @Brett Cox: I'm not really too worried about it, and if you don't want to add categories to articles, you don't have to. As I stated previously, regarding categorization, I feel that common dishes and foods in North Korea should be included in the North Korean cuisine category, regardless of whether or not they are common in South Korea. Ultimately, including such foods in the North Korean cuisine category makes the encyclopedia more accurate and comprehensive, whereas lumping everything together under the one category of Korean cuisine can be ambiguous. For example, some dishes specifically originated in North Korea, and were then brought to South Korea by families who moved there after the Korean War. North America1000 06:52, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Open ended Prods

How would you have better worded it? Unless you think that article is notable I fail to see how how declining the prod was helpful. I have not see the film myself. Thank you for you time, Endercase (talk) 16:23, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

I don't even recall, it really didn't leave an impression on me (I was just hitting the random article button and fixing errors when I found them). I nom prod "per tags" and you declined saying "per tags" was too open ended... even though often prods have no reasoning given. Seemed more procedural removal than anything. I can find the article tomorrow if you would like. It had no real sources and wasn't notable (per tags). Mostly this is question about how you think prods should be done not really about that particular article. Endercase (talk) 07:43, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
I'd have to know which article you're referring to, otherwise I'd be making guesses. North America1000 00:20, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
Well if you would wish to discuss particulars and not the generality of how you think prods should be done then the the article was Call Me (film) --Endercase (talk) 20:34, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
Per the Proposed deletion policy page at WP:PRODNOM, prods should include some rationale demonstrating why an article should be uncontroversially deleted, The two-word rationale "per tags" does not really provide much rationale. Regarding valid rationales for deletion, see WP:DEL-REASON for examples. There is a notability template atop the article, which is worded, "The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for films" (italic emphasis mine), but this tag does not automatically confer absolute non-notability, and your rationale for deletion did not include any other variables, such as whether or not you performed source searches about the topic to qualify a lack of notability. Also, you state above, "It had no real sources and wasn't notable (per tags)", but per WP:NEXIST, topic notability is not based upon the state of sourcing in articles. Also, the other maintenance templates atop the article are not aligned as qualifiers for deletion; an article relying upon a single source and needing more sources is not a valid rationale for deletion, yet your rationale was plural, "per tags." At any rate, feel free to nominate the article at AfD if you'd like. North America1000 03:26, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
