Wikipedia:WikiProject Food and drink/Beverages Task Force/work area

List of all subpages of this page

The WikiProject Work Area is for

drink and related drink ware

articles undergoing major renovation or nominated for deletion prior to integration or tran-swiki processing.

This Work Area is a good place to develop new articles or work on major re-writes of articles that require a lot of non-linear editing, without having to worry about other editors interfering with your edits while you are working (either because they do not see the big picture and think your changes do not make sense, or because they are simply ignorant of that which you are trying to accomplish).

This Work Area can also serve as a temporary archive to prevent loss of useful information from articles Project Participants are actively attempting to improve while the articles are being

considered for deletion. The Beverages Task Force has requested that all Project-related articles not be deleted until the Cleanup Project is completed on or before February 28, 2007

. However, some editors ignore that request and nominate Project-related articles early.

This archive is not a

nursery

where little articles can grow up quickly before returning to the real world.

Important! Wikipedia is not a static place. While articles are here in the archive, the real articles will probably receive ongoing edits, even during AfD proceedings. It is very important that before

merging articles

from the Work Area back into the live Wikipedia, that you check to see what edits have taken place in the article's history since you started editing. Incorporate into the new article all edits from the main article that remain relevant in the new one. It is a very bad practice, with penalties in some cases, to blindly overwrite other people's efforts because you are too lazy to be careful in your editing. Newly developed articles should be checked prior to moving into the mainspace to be certain nobody else created an article with the same name while developing yours.

Important #2 Any article that was deleted through the

Wikipedia's standards, it deserves to remain deleted. This really holds true for all the articles, but formerly deleted articles will be extensively scrutinized for sticking to the standards. Remember, once an article has been successfully deleted, an administrator can delete a substantially similar article on the same topic on sight. If you cannot bring the article up to standards, do not waste your time. There are plenty of other articles (see Category:Mixed drink stubs) that need help before they get the axe

.

AfD December 12, 2006, stayed until March 1, 2007) and others like it into the actual Flaming Beverage article. Develop the article to discuss the drinking culture surrounding such beverages, the thrills, the dangers, and the theatrics. Highlight different drinks (like the Backdraft) into the article, demonstrating each as an illustrative example of the genre of drinks. --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 11:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply

Fourth Estate Cocktail (currently up for AFD) would be one such drink that should probably be included. --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 11:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply
