[edit]@Deb: please be more specific about which text is bothering you. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 14:56, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
- This is not about whether the sources say that the dish is always "perfect" (which as far as I can see, they don't), it's about the way this is represented as a fact rather than one person's opinion. You need to be more careful when reproducing information from restaurant reviews to make it clear that they are not Wikipedia's recommendations but those of a single food critic.

- Thank you. I agree, the second paragraph under Description needs rewriting for neutrality. Stay tuned ... Yoninah (talk) 15:44, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
- Deb I replaced the 'advertisement' tag, let's talk if you think that's an issue valereee (talk) 16:08, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
- Yoninah lol, okay...didn't think 'advertisement' was as accurate, but willing to listen. valereee (talk) 16:10, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Valereee: the tag you placed is usually used for topics that focus on their use in one country but have little coverage for their use in other countries. For example, if Remembrance Day only covered its observance in the Commonwealth, and not in other countries, you would use this tag. The advertising tag is appropriate in this article, as it also calls for neutrality. Yoninah (talk) 16:22, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
- Got it, thanks! valereee (talk) 17:49, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
- Deb, who tagged the page, has now edited the text she objected to to her own satisfaction.Absent other objections, I believe that we can remove the page tag.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:12, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Yoninah, I've untagged, but I still think you need to be very careful here to avoid representing the opinions of food critics as though they were fact, because the article could very quickly descend into promotional language. Deb (talk) 22:21, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Deb: Of course, I'm aware of that. We're doing a lot of research, but we are not coming up with negative reviews. I think if the article is written neutrally, we really don't need them. Yoninah (talk) 22:24, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- I'm not arguing with that. Deb (talk) 22:27, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
