Hi! I am taking this. Sainsf <^>Talk all words 04:37, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
Lead
[edit]- Could we expand the lead?
- Done.
- Please do not keep citations here. Put the facts in the main text as well and shift the citations there.
- Done.
- Just curious, do we really need to link "cook", "wafer cone" and "ice cream"?
- Since it's the first mention of ice cream in cones, I think so; unlinked cook.
- I think French should be linked
- Done.
Context
[edit]- Is link needed for "aristocrat"?
- Maybe, but perhaps it's "common" enough.
- and for the Prince and Princess of Wales Links?
- Done.
Approach
[edit]- Apart from the preface and Francatelli's advice...layout of the kitchen. Source? Or our "cite-the-book-directly" principle?
- Done.
- Link for ice cream?
- As above.
Contents
[edit]- Our "cite-the-book-directly" principle? I guess the same needs to be added at least in the last line of "Bills of fare"?
- Done.
Illustration
[edit]- Should this be "Illustrations"?
- OK, it's the same.
- All the other engravings are of completed dishes,...illustrations are not identified. Source?
- Added.
- There is a full-page frontispiece of the author I don't see why we need to link the author here again
- Unlinked.
Bills of fare
[edit]- The exceptional royal dinner of 30 June 18411 had sixteen entrées Wow, how does the earth look then? ;)
- Fixed.
- For the numbers used, I think you can use digits for all those above 10.
- Done, I think.
Contemporary
[edit]- every one of his fifty-six dishes Digits please
- Done.
- are not sweet nor hot "Neither" sweet nor hot?
- Done.
- George H. Ellwanger wrote in 1902 in his Pleasures of the Table --> In 1902, George H. Ellwanger wrote in his Pleasures of the Table
- Fixed.
- Gastronomy could be linked
- Done.
- Can we add the years for the books in this section and the next?
- The editions are listed in the Publication section; reviewers are almost always commenting on the most recent edition, so I doubt there's anything to be gained here.
- No URL or anything for ref. 3?
- Wikilinked.
