Hi! I am taking this. Sainsf <^>Talk all words 04:37, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Alright. @Chiswick Chap: You have been very quick and efficient. The article looks better now. All my issues have been addressed. I would be glad to promote this. Cheers! Sainsf <^>Talk all words 10:34, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
