January 9 edit
Inquiry on correctness edit
Hello, I'm reposting a question I had from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Amusement Parks that has yet to be answered, but I wish to move on because of certain things and I'm uncertain on when it would be answered. The question is about when construction likely started on a roller coaster.
I've been looking to get the Cobra's Curse article up and running to possible WP:GA in the near future, but I've gotten a minor snag that I want someone to possibly address because it's bothering me. Reliable sources about the ride, which are quite minimal for its construction starting, state construction initiated in January 2015 Tampa Bay Times & Tampa Bay Online, though a USF newspaper report says it started in March 2015 The Oracle. Though I would say The Oracle is wrong because of confirmation bias towards more reliable sources, I did dig upon a Screamscape archive where permits were filed to the Water Management Information System about the area's construction, which were received in February 2015, and further posts on Screamscape speculate upon the idea of a 2016 attraction happen earlier in 2014. Though from what I understand, Screamscape isn't a reliable source because of its speculative nature, and neither are its external links to personal blogs, but it does seem to better fit the idea that construction started in March 2015 because of the permits that would be needed to be filed beforehand instead of January 2015. Thoughts?

Healthy diet edit
Is this article saying to completely avoid processed food etc?https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthy_diet — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.128.110.146 (talk) 10:06, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- No, see Food processing and Convenience food. There are many kinds of food processing and as a rule, it's not the process but the ingredients that make so called 'processed foods' unhealthy. See also this article. You can typically find out if a particular processed food is unhealthy by looking at the ingredient list and nutrition facts label. - Lindert (talk) 10:24, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- That article states "For people who are healthy, a healthy diet is not complicated and contains mostly fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and includes little to no processed food and sweetened beverages." Can you explain which of those words you don't understand? --Jayron32 16:00, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
