Talk:Italian cuisine

message: @Denisarona: You  stating incorrect - original Italian words are the correct names - e.g. lasagne is a type of Italian dish, not something for the bed. Your edit summary is incorrect.
The original sentence clearly indicated that it concerned a list of shapes after which pastas are named: .
I added English translations for those shapes or objects in parentheses afterwards: 
Please either restore my change, or suggest another method of indicating what each of the words means. Bazza (talk) 14:34, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

message: This page is really very well done and complete (perhaps some small details are missing). I propose the addition of the template "Good article". JackkBrown (talk) 14:55, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you, I am one of the main contributors to the article... :-) I won't comment on your proposal because I am a party to it. --LukeWiller (talk) 23:36, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  perhaps the subject of prosciutto (prosciutto crudo) and prosciutto cotto, and the variants of prosciutto crudo (prosciutto di Parma DOP, prosciutto di San Daniele, etc.) should be addressed more, but for everything else it seems to me to be a more than good page.

text:  update: my answer has been expanded, please read it again. JackkBrown (talk) 08:39, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, thanks, I reread it. I agree with you: a paragraph in the "Basic foods" chapter describing the types of ham is needed. --LukeWiller (talk) 13:48, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Template "Good article" 

message: I disagree with this edit. Translation of the article title into another language is off topic. Someone who wants to know what the Italian translation of "Italian cuisine" is should be looking at an Italian-English dictionary. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The function of this article is to describe the cuisine itself. How to say the phrase "Italian cuisine" in some other language is not relevant.-- Srleffler (talk) 06:41, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @Srleffler: I also am left wondering what JackkBrown is doing. I have reverted the change, so they need to come here and explain themselves if they wish the text to stay. Bazza (talk) 09:30, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I also just removed the translation on the Greek cuisine page. Names of things in the native language are appropriate for the lead (e.g. Germany = Deutschland, Lake Garda = Lago di Garda) but translations of ordinary expressions do not belong here. --Macrakis (talk) 18:56, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:   you're right; and User:Bazza 7, you were right to undo my change. JackkBrown (talk) 02:08, 01 January 2024 (UTC)

text: Ugh, it looks like nearly every "cuisine" article has this. I cleared the A's in :Category:Cuisine by country.--Srleffler (talk) 02:54, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I checked the J's, K's, and L's. I fixed a few (Lao, Kosovar), but most didn't have the problem. --Macrakis (talk) 20:40, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

message: User:Bazza 7, this is absolutely not a criticism, but I'm trying to understand. In a past edit you put "gelato" in italics (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1187936787), so I, trusting you, wrote "gelato" in italics on the "Italy", "Italian cuisine" and "List of Italian dishes" pages. Since you've changed your mind, we need to write this term without italics on these three pages. JackkBrown (talk) 15:32, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

replies: text:  no, however we all have something to learn, nobody is perfect. JackkBrown (talk) 16:40, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: @JackkBrown: I really find your attitude patronising and tedious. None of us are perfect. If you'd bothered to check in an English dictionary yourself whether gelato is considered an English word or not, as has been suggested to you numerous times on the Help Desk, then you would have known it is not and not made the mistakes you continue to make.

message: This page contains, for example, both "biscuit" (British English) and "cookie" (American English). The Jack (talk) 12:49, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed the two instances of "cookie" that, in my opinion, intended "cookie" in a non-British sense.  "Cookie" is also used in British English, but has a narrower meaning for a specific type of biscuit. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 22:27, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  please, can you also check the List of Italian dishes page? JacktheBrown (talk) 15:57, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: That article isn't tagged as British English.  Per MOS:ENGVAR, use whatever variation of English was used in its first non-stub revision.  I'd be happy to check, but you're the major editor to that article as far as I know, and I encourage you to trust yourself; I know you are particularly thorough when it comes to consistency anyway :)) IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 00:28, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  exactly! In the future I'll decide what to do. ;) JacktheBrown (talk) 00:58, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

text: although the article is, according to the template (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Italian_cuisine&diff=prev&oldid=1213984840), written in British English, some words in American English are still present (e.g. "cookie"). JacktheBrown (talk) 22:39, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
