[edit] Cleaned up talk page

Dear Pangguanzhe (and BusinessAndGovernment), the English WP is neither a Turkish cookbook nor a food porn site.

If you have recipes to contribute, put them to Wikibooks.

If you have food images to contribute, put them to commons.wikimedia.org.

I have deleted everything you had posted here, but you can access it by clicking on the history tab if you need it. Please keep article talk pages a bit tidier than your user pagee. – Wikipeditor 19:38, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with Jiaozi?

Gyoza were merged, so perhaps this too... --InfernoXV 10:38, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redundant articles?

Are Mandu and Mantı the same thing? If so, they should be merged. If they are different, then this article shouldn't list Mantı as a synonym in the first sentence. Something tells me it would start a nationalistic riot if we merged the two of them, so it might be better just to rewrite the intro to this article to remove Mantı as a synonym. It could still be mentioned along with the other regional varieties, or in a see also section. Anyone have an opinion on this? Kafziel ^Talk 17:30, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Nobody? Kafziel ^Talk 06:17, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree they should be merged. I don't know how high national feelings run here, but when I tried to merge döner kebab, gyros, and shawarma, the various national factions came out in force (see the Talk pages). Ridiculous, but that's life on the WP. --Macrakis 15:02, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't really understand the merger. Even if they are in some sense historically the same -- culinary cognates, if you will -- I don't see any indication that the modern Turkish and Korean implementations have that much in common. Surely complete and encyclopedic articles can be written about each. -- Visviva 05:25, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Steamed bread?

I'm not familiar with this use of the term mandu; whenever I see steamed bread for sale here in Korea, it's called jjinppang (찐빵). This Dusan/Naver Encyclopedia article doesn't mention this use either. Does anyone have a source? -- Visviva 05:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I've never heard of that, either. Kafziel ^Talk 13:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I've removed it for now. If a source turns up, we can always put it back. -- Visviva 16:11, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
