message: Dear User:173.52.116.254, you have removed all the material in this article about versions of this food which are not Greek.  I am not sure why, since you have not written any Edit summaries, or discussed it here on Talk.  Perhaps it is because the word 'avgolemono' is obviously Greek?  But Wikipedia is not a dictionary--the article is not about the word, but about the preparation it names.  As documented by multiple reliable sources (including an expert in Greek cuisine, Aglaia Kremezi), the same preparation is found in Greek, Italian, Sephardic, Turkish, Balkan, and Arabic cuisine.
Also, please follow Wikipedia policy when editing articles -- don't simply remove content repeatedly, but discuss it on the Talk page, and reach consensus with other editors.  Thanks, --Macrakis (talk) 04:38, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

message: If you believe Greeks and Turks are special, keep the page, but create the egg-lemon sauce page.
Even Anglophones use variations of the recipe.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:2149:844E:6300:9D6C:97CC:317C:4C7E (talk) 16:48, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I've moved the English translation into the parentheses as the literal translation of the Greek name. My reasoning is that, as an American, I've pretty much only encountered this type of sauce/soup referred to as 'egg-lemon sauce/soup' in contexts which directly refer to it being Greek and otherwise known as avgolemono. In the Joy of Cooking, for example, it is under the title "Avgolemono (Greek Lemon Soup)". Among the various names, 'avgolemono' does seem to be the most common, even outside of Greece, and indeed in English. Putting it under any other name seems like putting minestrone under 'Italian vegetable soup': that may be more fully "English" and perhaps just as accurate, but most people call it, in English, by the Italian word. The article properly gives its name in other cultures/contexts, but the overwhelming source of this sauce/soup in most English speaking places seems to be through Greek cuisine, and thus its Greek name is most commonly used to refer to it. Thus it seems that's what the article title should be, despite this being the English Wikipedia ￼ Severinus (talk) 05:16, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  We should primarily support the English language 

message: "Although often considered a Greek dish, avgolemono is originally Sephardic Jewish: agristada" is supported by a blog post (The Nosher) who quotes Claudia Roden, scholar, calling agristada the "cornerstone of Sephardic cooking". The blog does not cite sources. What in this quotation backs up the blog author's supposition? Is there more info in the direct source of the quote that the blog used, and the article cited indirectly with the blog? Why not cite that source instead?
