Bagna cauda[edit]

Hello, think you can you change the page bagna cauda infobox? Since it originated in Italy and the sources makes little sense 80.180.105.109 (talk) 19:02, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please slow down[edit]

I appreciate the collaborative effort (and especially the thanks you have sent), but if you can't refrain from reverting my edits while I am drafting (in spite of the fact that there is a {{GOCEinuse}} tag at the top of the article), then I'm done helping out on this one. It is very frustrating. At least wait until the ink is dry and then discuss the edits with me if you think I've erred. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 08:42, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cl3phact0: all right, I'll wait for you to finish. JacktheBrown (talk) 11:00, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to work together and pass the, er, spoon back and forth and whatnot. You just threw me off by reverting things as I was actively in the process of drafting. I appreciate having my mistakes corrected; I don't like having my work thrown out for no apparent reason. I don't mean to be precious or take ownership of the article, just asking you slow down a bit.

There's an adage in English that I've always quite liked. It goes like this:

Measure once, cut twice; measure twice, cut once.

Pretty certain it originated with woodworkers, but it applies to many things.

If I'm doing a major copy edit and would prefer to have the time to finish before you jump in, I'll use the GOCEinuse tag so it's clear. Ok? Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 12:50, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cl3phact0: your work is EXCELLENT; I have improved something, but just details. Let's do this: I don't intervene on the article until August; do you agree? JacktheBrown (talk) 13:10, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No need for that! Can we simply agree that if the {{GOCEinuse}} tag is active, wait until that particular editing session is finished and the tag is removed before intervening directly on the article? (Obviously, if some stupid mistake or serious error is made while "GOCEinuse" message is displayed, ping on Talk!) -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 15:09, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cl3phact0: all right, I get it. JacktheBrown (talk) 16:19, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perfetto, grazie. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 19:46, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cl3phact0: when you're done let me know, of course I don't want to rush you (and I don't change your additions). JacktheBrown (talk) 17:45, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When the GOCEinuse tag is not displayed, please don't hesitate to edit as normal! Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 19:34, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, see Possible useful sources on Talk page. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 19:37, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cl3phact0: considering Cullen made a change, I also made some minor adjustments (I didn't touch your additions). JacktheBrown (talk) 12:38, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Heads up, you may be changing the spelling in actual quotations! Some of the misspellings are from the original sources (you could add sic to indicate this, if it's important to you). Also, it looks like you are using Italian grammatical conventions in English (e.g., "Fettuccini Alfredo" in quotes is a title of a thing, so it should probably be capitalised). Please verify. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 09:21, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please review MOS:SIMPLEGLOSS (and WP:REDYES). You are reverting very recent edits that seem to comply with WP:P&G. (Also see Talk.) -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 14:42, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is another idiom about taking one step forward, two steps back that you might want to think about too. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 14:44, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cl3phact0: why do you write me so many messages? The fettuccine Alfredo discussion page exists for a reason. JacktheBrown (talk) 14:49, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pasta fredda[edit]

I'm told that people sometimes confuse "Pasta Fredda" with "Pasta Alfredo". Perhaps there ought to be a redirect? (Also, the "Pasta Fredda" article could use some work.) -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 15:03, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cl3phact0: thank you for bringing this page to my attention; yes, this article needs many improvements. With all due respect to Americans, Canadians, etc., it's very difficult to confuse these two foods; they're completely different. JacktheBrown (talk) 19:21, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spoken when with certain accents "al fredda" and "Alfredo" actually sound similar enough to cause confusion. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 20:04, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cl3phact0: but it's "pasta fredda", not "pasta al fredda" or "pasta al freddo". JacktheBrown (talk) 20:16, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have never heard any such confusion. Cullen328 (talk) 20:26, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cullen328: in fact... I've never read of anyone on the Internet who confused these two food names. JacktheBrown (talk) 20:39, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To someone who doesn't speak Italian, they sound quite similar. Easy mistake to make. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 14:44, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you![edit]

Thank you for your kind engagement with my student who is working to improve Linguine! Kaylea Champion (talk) 17:31, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Khascall: you're welcome. If your student will see my corrections to their edits, I hope they don't become sad or demotivated; they did a good job and it's a pleasure for me to see the pages regarding Italian cuisine being expanded. JacktheBrown (talk) 18:23, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Language templates[edit]

I've seen that you have been deleting language templates from some pages, and I wonder if you are aware of their purpose for words and expressions not in English. Please read Template:Lang#Rationale, which might change your opinion about those templates. Best regards, Jotamar (talk) 16:47, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jotamar: could you give me an example of a mistake I made? JacktheBrown (talk) 21:19, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say anything about mistakes, I'm just saying that language templates have a rationale behind them, and that deleting them should also have some sort of reason. For example in your edition of 20:02, 11 April 2024 in Embutido. --Jotamar (talk) 21:33, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
