Comment on the WikiProject X proposal
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Misplaced Pages struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Food Coloring Regulations
Dear food and drink experts: This topic is covered under Food coloring. Is there anything in this old AfC draft that should be used to improve the mainspace article? Or should the regulations have their own article? —Anne Delong (talk) 00:27, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
Images that could be useful to the project!
Time to 
Dine!
Just finished my first batch the full series of new food porn...er pics. These are all from the Carnival World Buffet at The Rio, Las Vegas Nevada. And...yes it was all very delicious!
--Mark Miller (talk) 09:57, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- User:Mark Miller: Nice images of a commercial buffet operation. I suppose you didn't bring any leftovers with you, since what happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas.

WP:VG comments subpages cleanup
Hi, there is currently a discussion taking place at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Video games#VG comments subpages regarding whether it would be acceptable to permanently shift all comments subpages associated with WP:VG articles into talk. This shift would follow the recommended approach given at WP:DCS. The WikiProject Food and drink articles that would be affected by this action are these:
If you have objections related specifically to WikiProject Food and drink's use of these subpages, please make this clear at the discussion so that other unrelated talk pages can be cleaned up where appropriate. Thank you. -Thibbs (talk) 15:55, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

List of commercial fish
I'm thinking of starting a list article that covers common commercial fish, like the ones we see in restaurants and markets. But how? Scope issues? By country? Tonnes caught? Do we have this already? Thoughts? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:28, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Crowdsourced funding to get pictures of cheese
Hello, I thought I would share something I found. I have no affiliation with this project.
Some Wikipedians in France are asking for funding to buy cheese and have cheese parties. In return, they promise to photograph the cheese and upload pictures to Wikimedia commons. See their project proposal.
I am sharing here because I thought this was an innovative way to get pictures for Wikimedia projects. See the gallery they have started!. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:47, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Circassian cuisine
This is a massively problematic article. The lead basically consisted of listing the traditional Adyghe foods before I got to it. I added a basic lead and tagged it with an "inadequate lead" tag. I could use some help making the language less biased and easier to read. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crossark (talk • contribs) 16:31, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Help with South Beach Diet
Back in August, I posted here requesting assistance with a draft I had prepared for the South Beach Diet. After nearly four months of discussion on the Talk page, I am back with a more narrow request for help with updating the article's introduction. There has been some back and forth about what should be included in the introduction, most notably the term "fad diet", which I believe to be contentious, but is endorsed by another editor. My newest proposed version includes the term, though it is used differently than how it currently appears in the article.
As I mentioned before, I am working on behalf of the South Beach Diet brand to make improvements to the article. Due to this conflict of interest, I am not making any direct edits. I'd appreciate it if editors here could review my latest Talk page note, including the revised introduction, and weigh in with their thoughts.

WikiProject X is live!
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

maltodextrin article is self-inconsistent
At the beginning, it says that maltodextrin is moderately sweet to almost flavorless. Later on it says maltodextrin is flavorless. They can't both be right. MeanStandev (talk) 07:21, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Suggested change to South Beach Diet introduction
Hello, I've been here before about the South Beach Diet article, and I'd like to see if someone here is interested in reviewing a fairly narrow suggestion, to replace the introduction's second paragraph (just one sentence) with a slightly longer paragraph. (Worth noting: I am working as a consultant on behalf of the company that publishes the books, so I won't be making any direct changes to the article myself.) I'd previously discussed this with a couple of other editors, however they seem to be busy with other things. With a week gone by, I'd be appreciative if someone else would consider it. Here is a direct link to the proposed change, and previous conversation can be found by scrolling up from there. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 22:33, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Welcome new user
Hello, would anyone in this project please welcome and comment on the work of a new user, Soloway80? This person participated in several weeks of Misplaced Pages training with me and edited the article on Junk Food. Here is a sample contribution they made.

Article Face Lift
I have given the article List of coffee varieties a major facelift and I have addressed several of the issues mentioned in its talk page.
What needs to happen next with that article as far as addressing its issues? (I'm new to Wiki).
Also, I would like to replace the current image on that article with one. I have explicit permission from Cafe Imports to use the unedited version of that image in a Wiki article. However, I don't have access yet to upload images. Do I wait until I have that access or can an admin assist me with adding the image?
Thanks!

List of Indian spices
I came here after seeing "... non-English content" being added while 'patrolling' at 'New editors' contribs'. When I checked it out I saw that it was List of Indian spices and it had lots of translations of various spices in numerous Indic languages. So no problem with the addition of "non-English content".
However, the page only has one source, and none of the translations are sourced. I have tagged it for ref-improvement. I see that just above some IP editors have also mentioned the lack of sources and noted that some translation are incorrect. Correction that was at Talk:List of Indian spices#Regarding language equivalents. It is possible that there are suitable references on the pages of the individual spices.
It seems that this page is rather 'quiet' and many message from this year appear unanswered, to so I'm just wondering if this is the best place to comment or at WikiProject India? - 220 of 04:41, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Sourcing for File:Improved no2 Wagon.jpg
This file does not seem to have a source. I would think this is public domain ({{PD-1923}}), but that cannot be established with certainty. Google Images didn't turn up anything useful, and none of the historical documents on http://www.cretors.com/ (under "Company") match. I was wondering if this WikiProject could help.

User:Zigzig20s/Windmill Organics
Hello. I have realized that most of the food I buy at Whole Foods or Infinity Foods in the UK is sold under the 'Biona Organics' brand, which is apparently made by Windmill Organics. I think it would be good to have an article about them because the company was created in 1978 apparently and they really do sell a lot (if not the majority) of organic food, at least in the UK. Is anyone willing to help me expand the userpage so that I can move it to a properly notable article please?Zigzig20s (talk) 17:15, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Questionable food safety claims at several genetic engineering articles
Hi folks. For a while now, I've been concerned about a set of questionable food safety claims on Misplaced Pages. You will see on the page Genetically modified food the statement: "There is broad scientific consensus that food on the market derived from GM crops poses no greater risk to human health than conventional food." This claim appears on other pages, too, such as Genetically modified food controversies and Genetically modified crops. After becoming involved in a lengthy discussion about these pages, I did some research on the sources provided for the claim, and then on other sources which might contradict it.
My findings are detailed here. From what I can tell, there is hardly a scientific consensus about the comparative safety of genetically engineered food, currently sold or otherwise. In my opinion it is a grievous error to make such a misstatement on a website used, for better or for worse, by many people, as their first source of information. I bring this to your attention because I see that these articles fall within the scope of this project, and because presumably readers of this page care about food safety issues. shalom, groupuscule (talk) 17:44, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- yes, that has been there too long. It is a tour de force of post-modern literary criticism, which is not what we do here. Most importantly, there already was an RfC on the statement of the scientific consensus on the relative safety of currently marketed food that took groupuscule's lit crit into account. The RfC is here. There has been no new science to change the scientific consensus since the RfC. Jytdog (talk) 19:06, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- Note: Jytdog, please leave edit summaries lest folks think you are trying to hide something. Further, the editing that has held sway over the GMO articles since you have been in control of them is being called into question, and may end up at ArbCom. Why not take a break from this area for a while, and let non-involved editors have a say? The best encyclopedia articles are written in a dispassionate voice, showing all sides of the story with due weight, and not by industry insiders. Thanks, petrarchan47tc 21:43, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
