Talk:Fizz (cocktail)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This mixed drink or bartending-related article is supported by the Mixed Drinks WikiProject, a project to improve Wikipedia's materials related to mixed drinks, bartending, and related subjects.

This is one of the better articles within the scope of our project. We would really appreciate your help in improving it. It needs to have a good introduction, be well-rounded, discuss the origins and history of the topic, provide current information, give pop-cultural references, and clearly establish the notability and importance of the topic. Not every topic covers all of that, but certainly as much as possible should be included.

[edit] A fresh start

This is a new article I'm still working on. If you feel a strong desire to edit it, please wait a few days or leave me feedback on my talk page. Philvarner 06:16, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

This is the place to discuss the requested moves listed at Wikipedia:Requested moves#8 February 2007 concerning Gin Fizz and Ramos gin fizz. --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 07:28, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Oppose. Seems like Ramos gin fizz is sufficiently unique to warrant its own page. --Serge 02:00, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Support. A Ramos gin fizz is a variation of a gin fizz. It is unique, but that does not mean that it needs to be on it's own page. Merging will allow the few fizzes to be together and prevent article proliferation. (I should also note that I'm a bit biased, since I created the new Fizz page) Philvarner 02:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I am delisting this from WP:RM as there is no admin action required whichever way the decision goes, and the proposal is not for a move anyway, but rather for a merge which is already in progress. Feel free to raise this on my talk page if you disagree with this action and/or want further explanation. Andrewa 16:52, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Modifications

Removed bias relating to band under sloe gin fizz
Changed gin fizz to reflect that it is served over two ice cubes, not neat
removed contrast to tom collins as it was erroneous, collins is server in larger glass, and both come over ice
