On 17 April 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Prawn soup, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a week in honor of the prawn soup chupe de camarones (pictured) took place in areas of Peru in 2016? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Prawn soup. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Prawn soup), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

		Nice job expanding prawn soup. I just had this the other day and was delighted to see it on the main page almost immediately after eating it! DarjeelingTea (talk) 20:26, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

• Hi DarjeelingTea: Well, maybe I'm psychic, whereby I envisioned you eating the soup in the future right before the time I expanded the article, which could then be why I expanded the article. Right? North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:30, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Ooh, sounds yummy! "P.S." Nice work on another food article. To supplement your WikiProject Peru award, I hereby bestow upon you membership in the Honorary Order of the Chupe de Camarones. — Mudwater ^(Talk) 22:49, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi there. Don't know what happened, but when I hit send query regarding this article, Foreign Coins In Coin Roll Hunting, it wasn't added to the log properly.

Are recipes considered appropriate references when it comes to food and cuisines on Wikipedia? If so, what are some good books and websites that can be used here? If not, what are some alternative sources that editors around here generally use? Thanks in advance. CubeSats4U 07:59, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

A few days ago I started Category:Food waste. In looking at the concept, I was not sure that it merited a category. After searching around I found a few articles which were related, and so I thought to make the category. I am pleased today to see that you have added more items to the category and that it is quite filled out now. You found articles which obviously belong but which I could not find and did not think to seek out. What you did is very encouraging. Thanks for that. Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:37, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

• Hi @Bluerasberry: Thanks. My method was to add the term "food waste" in the upper-right search box that appears on most Wikipedia pages, after which time, an option appears on a scroll-down screen to choose articles containing the terms. This revealed relevant articles. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 14:43, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi @

List of North Korean dishes for the sources that back up the category additions. No worries about the removal of Ramyeon, which I also recently removed from the article. North America¹⁰⁰⁰

04:18, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt reply! The list cites this article, according to which

tteok-bokki does seem to be a dish sold for foreign tourist in North Korea. But this NK News article and this Guardian article say that tteok-bokki is unheard of to North Korean residents. I think it would be good to build criteria for the NK-cuisine / SK-cuisine categories and write it somewhere. I personally preferred using the categories with the dishes that exist or eaten exclusively/dominantly in NK/SK but not in the other Korea, but that's just my preference and you might not agree. --Brett (talk

• (ec) @Brett Cox: Update: Upon consideration, I have removed the Ddeokbokki entry from the list article. While it exists in North Korea per a different source I found, it does not appear to be a common food there (per source searches). North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 04:35, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
• @Brett Cox: Regarding categorization, I feel that common dishes and foods in North Korea should be included in the North Korean cuisine category, regardless of whether or not they are common in South Korea. Also, the North Korean cuisine category was rather barren until I began populating it. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 04:38, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Perhaps you have access to sources that can improve these articles. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 05:48, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

For me, it seems natural that most of the traditional (pre-Korean war) Korean dishes are common in both North and South Korea. And most dishes in

• @Brett Cox: I'm not really too worried about it, and if you don't want to add categories to articles, you don't have to. As I stated previously, regarding categorization, I feel that common dishes and foods in North Korea should be included in the North Korean cuisine category, regardless of whether or not they are common in South Korea. Ultimately, including such foods in the North Korean cuisine category makes the encyclopedia more accurate and comprehensive, whereas lumping everything together under the one category of Korean cuisine can be ambiguous. For example, some dishes specifically originated in North Korea, and were then brought to South Korea by families who moved there after the Korean War. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:52, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

I don't even recall, it really didn't leave an impression on me (I was just hitting the random article button and fixing errors when I found them). I nom prod "per tags" and you declined saying "per tags" was too open ended... even though often prods have no reasoning given. Seemed more procedural removal than anything. I can find the article tomorrow if you would like. It had no real sources and wasn't notable (per tags). Mostly this is question about how you think prods should be done not really about that particular article. Endercase (talk) 07:43, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Per the Proposed deletion policy page at

WP:NEXIST, topic notability is not based upon the state of sourcing in articles. Also, the other maintenance templates atop the article are not aligned as qualifiers for deletion; an article relying upon a single source and needing more sources is not a valid rationale for deletion, yet your rationale was plural, "per tags."
