I came across this award reviewing a draft and it appears to be a notable award mentioned in several articles. Thought you might be interested in creating an article. See also es:Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. S0091 (talk) 16:09, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, it has an entry in 8 language wikis. Definitely seems worth investigating, thanks! Valereee (talk) 17:37, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This video [1] is about the current court-thing, but at ca 12:50 he (Nikhil Pahwa) mentions the older "map-thing", I thought it was interesting. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:06, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've been really interested in that case. If the choice is between identifying editors and being blocked by India, I'd choose being blocked by India every time. Is Asian_News_International#Lawsuit_against_Wikipedia really all we have on that? Seems like it ought to be an article. Valereee (talk) 12:39, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per "This article has been mentioned by multiple media organizations:" on the talkpage, you can probably make an article about it. Perhaps the topic fits at Censorship of Wikipedia? I don't remember if some minister threatened blocking about the map. And yes, if they want to block, let them block. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:48, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said in 2020:[2] Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:53, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:ANI vs. Wikipedia. Unfortunately many of the sources are behind paywalls for me, but if you can get to them, feel free! Valereee (talk) 12:56, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now we're waiting for media-coverage on that article... Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:41, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and hoping we don't get some judge demanding WMF tell ANI who I am so they can sue me. :) Valereee (talk) 16:42, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

YES!!! Wasn't really expecting Delhi High Court-coverage, though. Interesting. That was a crazy idea for an article you had, I obviously had nothing to do with it. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:48, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[3]. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:49, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ANI has accused you of "pressurising the Ld. Single Judge". And, the Chief Justice of the Court appears to be quite sympathetic to the accusation. TrangaBellam (talk) 15:03, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I've seen this much media-coverage so quickly on a WP-article since Recession. Hope you're holding up. I don't think I've started a WP-article that got media-coverage... Yes I have! Catherine Nakalembe said on a BBC interview "Imagine, I now have a Wikipedia page." Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:49, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I don't typically write or even edit articles that get media coverage. Honestly I'm just kind of bemused. This is all stuff widely published in reliable sources. How is this subjudice disclosure or pressuring a judge by Wikipedia if it wasn't by the dozen sources we're citing? I'm trying to decide whether it's just grandstanding on the parts of the judges? Valereee (talk) 19:29, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If I understand it correctly, as the judges see it, you, me, text on WP, are reps of WMF, so the article is WMF:s attempt to influence the trial, and that is naughty. BOLD doesn't exist in their world, the publication of your article was decided by WMF in advance. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 20:23, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I think I understand...they're saying that because WMF is a party, WMF shouldn't be discussing. They don't realize that WMF didn't discuss. Valereee (talk) 20:35, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That poor lawyer! Restrain your client! Valereee (talk) 20:39, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do feel sorry for him. Coming into court and having the judges slamming the ANI vs WMF article in his face can't have been much fun. But if you hadn't started it, I or someone else probably would have. The sources are there, and it's interesting. There might be some discussion on this in the talk-section of the next Signpost, we'll see. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 21:08, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This writer does realize that, it's encouraging: [4] Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:32, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not about India, but good for him. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:49, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning.

The only sources for this article are recipes; maybe I should start a deletion procedure, what do you think? JacktheBrown (talk) 10:53, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not having good enough sources is not a reason to assume you should go straight to AfD. If a dish is traditional to an area, and there is an RS saying so, we arguably can include it somewhere even if we can't show independent notability of the dish.

First, try to see if you can show independent notability by looking for sources. Do you have access to Italian reference works about Italian food? Or books about the cuisine of Abruzzo? High-quality modern cookbooks often include significant coverage of traditional dishes as an introduction to recipes. Does the dish every go by any other name? If so, search for all names.

If you can't show independent notability, try to see if there's another place for the information. Could it be merged/redirected to Cuisine of Abruzzo or L'Aquila saffron or List of mussel dishes?

I found one source that references a 1998 book, Food and Memories of Abruzzo, that mentions the dish with a description. I've added it and ordered the 1998 book from my library. I don't know much about Italian sources for Italian food. Does Italy have the kind of food journalism and academia that is present in English-speaking countries? It's the place Slow Food started, I would think you'd have both. Valereee (talk) 13:00, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Say hello to Champy! CMD (talk) 13:16, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, enjoy! Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:50, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, can you check what I wrote? I'm not sure I wrote in excellent English: [11]. Thanks in advance. JacktheBrown (talk) 13:43, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello my friend (if i may be so bold). 'Twasn't your comments i referred to on talk:RfA, but others'. Primarily, i'm sorry to say, a couple of Hammersoft's, which disappointed me because i've always felt him to be insightful over a lot of areas; just let himself down for a moment, i fear. I fully understand the concerns, and i'm with you and others who have suggested that we work out a way to make it more manageable, especially if the test run is deemed successful and we continue elections. Happy days, ~ Lindsay^Hello 16:51, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do call me friend. :) I'm very glad I didn't make you feel bad. Valereee (talk) 22:35, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On 19 October 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Asian News International vs. Wikimedia Foundation, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a judge is threatening to shut down Wikipedia in India over a defamation lawsuit? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Asian News International vs. Wikimedia Foundation. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Asian News International vs. Wikimedia Foundation), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thanks for your block of 70.83.133.243 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). If you look at the history at Walking with Dinosaurs (film) you'll find numerous IPs all doing similar edits with the same (invalid) edit summary. Don't know if more blocks might be appropriate, but wanted to flag. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 21:53, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
