Talk:Époisses

message: I have just come across the statement, quoted from a book The Devil's Picnic, that the pungent odor of époisses has caused it to be banned from the Paris Metro.
Question: can anyone substantiate this statement (with a reference to an authoritative source) or is it just another urban myth?
:Ah, another fan of the NYT acrostic puzzles :)  I suspect you want a primary source; for all we know, The Devil's Picnic is authoritative. - Nunh-huh 21:34, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I emailed the RATP asking if there was a specific list of forbidden products in the metro.  The response was Le transport de tous produits dangereux ou entrainant la gêne des autres usagers est interdit. (It is forbidden to transport any products dangerous or bothersome to other passengers).  They didn't mention a reference or source, and I couldn't find the specific French law at http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/ Tinfoiled (talk) 08:45, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  The passage now in the article doesn't say that it's banned on the metro, it says that it's been reported that it's banned on the metro.  It has been reported, in fact IMO it's pretty clear that this is an urban legend — but here we run up against policy WP:OR.  Being pretty clear doesn't save a claim of urban-legend-hood from being original research, and your personal testimony that you emailed the RATP doesn't save that from being original research, either.  An online publication that confirms it's not true would be a reliable source allowing that to be added to the information already provided (i.e., it's been reported and it isn't true).  A reliable source that says it's an urban legend would be better than the existing one that only shows that it's been reported; I'd love to be able to say in the article that it's an urban legend.  --JNShutt (talk) 22:34, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

message: There's a double negative in the health risk section  "...Époisses imported into the United States having been aged not more than 49 days has been prohibited" does that mean the cheese has to be 49 or less days old to be imported?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.198.151.36 (talk) 09:24, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

text: *The current situation also requires a hatnote and is benefiting readers and editors even less, and is less reflective of usage in reliable sources. If anything is failing those guidelines, it's the current situation of having the municipality at the undisambiguated base name.--Yaksar (let's chat) 17:32, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

text: *This proposal “reduces recognizability” and “fails WP:precise” only from a very peculiar perspective of these criteria not shared by the WP community. The definition of recognizable per WP:CRITERIA is “the title is a name or description of the subject that someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area will recognize.”  The proposed title is surely recognizable as the name of this cheese to anyone familiar with this cheese . Regarding WP:PRECISE, allowance for primary topics is specified explicitly there . It’s quite disruptive to the project to distort the community-accepted meanings of these clearly defined terms in a rationalizing effort to satisfy ones own WP:JDLI personal preferences. —В²C ☎ 13:37, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
