Girl in cake

Do we have an article or content in a section of another article for the type of giant cake from which a model pops out for festive occasions? I understand that these are sometimes made largely or entirely of cardboard and frosting, but sometimes there is a real cake outside of the hidden compartment. I have tried surprise cake, pop cake and popup cake.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:54, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

I.e., is there a page for this video?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:35, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
FYI, I have created Pop out cake.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 01:39, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Neutral arbitrators needed at Mansaf (Middle Eastern rice dish)

There is a very long-standing dispute at the article Mansaf, regarding whether it is properly termed a Jordanian dish, or rather a Levantine or Arab dish popular in Jordan and several other countries (it is also factually recognized as Jordan's national dish). I request that a few neutral editors review the discussion at WT:Mansaf and view Mansaf and offer their outside and objective opinion as to how most accurately and neutrally to describe the dish. MatthewVanitas (talk) 09:22, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Neutral editors needed at Mediterranean cuisine

An editor has, since 2007, been denying that Mediterranean cuisine is a valid category, insisting that dishes from any particular country are purely national (say, that Paella is Spanish, Risotto Italian, Tagine Moroccan) and that therefore Mediterranean cuisine cannot exist. Even when such dishes are cited to a reliable author like Elizabeth David's Book of Mediterranean Food, content is removed as not conforming to this stricture. I would be grateful if editors could join the discussion at Talk:Mediterranean cuisine and help us to reach consensus. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:52, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

There's no issue with calling for neutral editors, but please remember to do so neutrally. Ibadibam (talk) 21:29, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
Could a few neutral editors view Mediterranean cuisine and both old and new entries on Talk:Mediterranean cuisine, and assist in reaching a consensus on the article's direction. With many thanks, Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:07, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Tamarind tree fruit used for beer - Austin, TX brewery

A coffee house in Austin presents "4th Tap Renewal Tamarind Wheat Ale" to its customers. The beer has a VERY distinct sourness I thought from added lemon. It turns out (via Wikipedia), "The hard green pulp of a young [Tamarind) fruit is considered by many to be too sour." Thusly, the VERY distinct sourness. ~dCb — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.70.38 (talk) 02:31, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for sharing. If you have a request for support using Wikipedia, then please ask. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:20, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

FYI: proposed merger

Proposed merge of Iru (food) into Sumbala based on the understanding that these two, along with dawadawa, netetu, ojji, etc. are much the same (even though there are slight variations across West Africa). Since there is no English name for this condiment, the question is which loanword to use. "Sumbala" seems relatively common. If of interest, please see merge discussion. --A12n (talk) 11:19, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Borscht FAC

Members of this wikiproject may be interested in the featured article nomination for Borscht. A source review would be particularly appreciated. — Kpalion(talk) 06:05, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

  • @Kpalion: You have performed nice work improving the article. I have added more reliable sources to the article. I notice that you have formatted the article's footnotes/references/sources in a very particular manner, so you may want to format my additions to match the style you've used. This will likely be easier for you to do, since you're already familiar with it all. North America1000 08:54, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

List of national liquors

Hello all. I found this article while inspecting recent changes and found it a mess, full of many national drinks that are not in any sense liquors - essentially a hodgepodge of favorite national drinks. I am calling for comment and some help cleaning it up. I excised many mentions of fermented drinks that are not distilled, but would like comment on whether rice wines, fortified wines, and mixed drinks should be included – my instinct is not to include anything not a proper liquor (a spirit or a liqueur). It seems that WikiProject Spirits is now inactive, so I have brought it here, where more editors are active. Thanks for any help you can give. MisterRandomized (talk) 05:46, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Draft:Krasnostop Zolotovski

Please help to get this draft about a Russian wine grape variety up to acceptable standard. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:16, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Category:Fish dishes as subcategory of Category:Prepared foods by main ingredient

Fish dishes can not be accessed directly from Category:Foods, it has to be reached via Category:Meat dishes or Category:Seafood dishes. But is it not a distinct category for many people, neither meat nor seafood? Should I put in into the category mentioned in the title? CN1 (talk) 15:29, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Auto-assessment of article classes

Following a recent discussion at WP:VPR, there is consensus for an opt-in bot task that automatically assesses the class of articles based on classes listed for other project templates on the same page. In other words, if WikiProject A has evaluated an article to be C-class and WikiProject B hasn't evaluated the article at all, such a bot task would automatically evaluate the article as C-class for WikiProject B.

If you think auto-assessment might benefit this project, consider discussing it with other members here. For more information or to request an auto-assessment run, please visit User:BU RoBOT/autoassess. This is a one-time message to alert projects with over 1,000 unassessed articles to this possibility. ~ RobTalk 22:28, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Fried chicken

I recently got this article up to GA status. I believe the page is of pretty good quality at the moment, but it could use some work. I hope to eventually get it up to FA class. Anyone up for some collaboration? If you're interested, please ping me. It would be great to have someone to work with on this. Thanks, Omni Flames (talk) 05:19, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Notice to participants at this page about adminship

Many participants here create a lot of content, have to evaluate whether or not a subject is notable, decide if content complies with BLP policy, and much more. Well, these are just some of the considerations at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship.

So, please consider taking a look at and watchlisting this page:

You could be very helpful in evaluating potential candidates, and maybe even finding out if you would be a suitable RfA candidate.

Many thanks and best wishes,
