Deletion of reliably sourced content at English cuisine edit
Hi, and thanks for your intention to improve Wikipedia. However, it works from reliable sources, not the personal knowledge of editors, as that cannot be verified. In this case, the claim is verifiable as it is properly cited. You are of course free to add a statement cited to a more recent scholarly source which explicitly contradicts the claim, if you can find one. What you can't do is remove the claim, as the fact that it was made will remain relevant. Hope this is clear. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:31, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
- I've read through your additions. The statement that a pudding (dripping or Yorkshire) was known in 1737 / 1747 does not contradict Cradock's claim that the pudding came from France, as French cuisine was already influential by that time in England. Therefore, I've hidden the two claims as not showing what you supposed. The second claim is entirely uncited, but I could easily source it if we decided to show it in the text: we certainly can't show it wholly uncited, and giving it a primary source (Glasse) would not make it any better than the primary 1737 source anyway. In general, it is very difficult for an early and primary source to contradict a later opinion; we'd need a later scholar to assert that although there was French influence in the 18th century, this did not affect the purely indigenous creation of Yorkshire pudding in the north of England. I think it would be a brave scholar to make that claim. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:50, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi, Sara. Please don't make accusations without evidence and don't assume bad faith, as you have been doing towards M. Bitton here. No personal attacks is policy here, and Assume good faith is an important behavioral guideline. You're supposed to comment on content, not on contributors, and to not make accusations about personal behavior that lack evidence. This is all in the "No personal attacks" policy. Start complying with it now, or expect to be blocked. Bishonen | tålk 21:23, 4 October 2023 (UTC).
