Why doesn't this article include Medieval Ottoman/Arab cuisine? Should there be a hatnote to another article? Seraphim System ^(talk) 23:37, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Shit, this article hardly specifies regional differences in medieval cuisine at all. So peeps in Ireland ate the same thing as they did in Lebanon? Shit, I know its all west euro centered, but mention that shit

The Middle Ages is a specifically European periodization. It's only occasionally used for other regions and in general it's not considered relevant for the Ottoman Empire or the Arab world.

As for regional variation, see the section "Regional variation".

This older FA is in quite fine shape, but there is considerable WP:OVERLINKing that could be identified with User:Evad37/duplinks-alt and addressed. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:26, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@SandyGeorgia: the overlinking should now be addressed. Aza24 (talk) 16:23, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To come back to this, I note that the first paragraph of the Dietetics heading is uncited. The implication is that it is supported, like the following paragraph, by the source Scully (1995); the specific page range listed is not included in the Google Books preview for the text so I can't verify this but it may be possible to reference a pared-down version of it to chapter three of that source, beginning p. 40, available here. Likewise the third paragraph under Cereals is without any references. Aside from these issues I don't believe there is anything troubling here—the occasional instance of colourful prose ("a staggering 3.8 pounds", etc) are not beyond reason, the sourcing seems generally good (quality good, just the occasional instance where a citation could be added as mentioned) and the breadth of coverage is exhaustive. We're certainly at the upper limit of page size before a split would be necessitated however and it may be worth considering shifting some content to a spinout—the length of the Beer section is quite considerable given the presence of a main article at History of beer, for example. Were the citation issues not present I would consider this "satisfactory" for URFA purposes; if anyone with fuller access to the print sources in use can help with this it would be tremendously appreciated. ᵹʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 21:06, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
