[edit] Recipe

User Rhobite stated, "recipes are not appropriate wikipedia [sic] content."

Please point to the Wikipedia page where there is an official written policy stating, specifically, that recipes are not appropriate Wikipedia content. Until that time, I have returned the material you blanked from the article. Carmela Soprano 04:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

The policy is Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. I'd also point to WP:NPOV which prohibits Wikipedia articles from making recommendations. It would be great if you'd expand this article - it's sorely lacking in history, and of course it's fine to describe the ingredients in general terms. However specific recipes are not appropriate content here. Feel free to find a wiki recipe site to contribute to. Also I believe I spelled 'Wikipedia' correctly - so what's with the 'sic'?

As I noted on your user page, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of recipes already included in Wikipedia, which can be found at the List of recipes entry. So, clearly, recipes are an important and established part of Wikipedia. Carmela Soprano 05:08, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Please see my talk page - those recipes are not on Wikipedia at all, they are hosted at Wikibooks. Rhobite 05:12, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Once again, you are wrong. Many of those recipes are on Wikipedia; they are not on Wikibooks. Look, for example, at Irish stew or Madeira cake or Espagnole sauce -- three that I found within thirty seconds.
I don't know why you decided to pick on me, but before jumping down someone's throat again, you might follow Wikipedia policy before blanking material. Carmela Soprano 05:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Ideally, the history of the dish should be on Wikipedia and then there should be a box-link directing the user to Wikibooks:Cookbook for the recipe itself. --JD79 17:40, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
