Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Veganism and Vegetarianism

Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

edit

I have created Wikipedia articles for dietitians and physicians associated with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics who authored their position papers on vegetarian diets.

Authors: Lydia Sonnenberg, Kathleen Keen Zolber, U. D. Register.

"The American Dietetic Association affirms that a well planned diet, consisting of a variety of largely unrefined plant foods supplemented with some milk and eggs (lacto-ovo vegetarian diet) meets all known nutrient needs. Furthermore, a total plant dietary can be made adequate by careful planning, giving proper attention to specific nutrients which may be in a less available form or in lower concentration or absent in plant foods."

Authors: Suzanne Havala, Johanna Dwyer. Reviewers: Phyllis Acosta, George Eisman, Alice Marsh, Connie Metcalf, Patricia Mutch, U. D. Register, Kathleen Zolber.

"It is the position of The American Dietetic Association that vegetarian diets are healthful and nutritionally adequate when appropriately planned."

Authors: Suzanne Havala, Johanna Dwyer. Reviewers: Phyllis Acosta, Patricia Johnston, Mary Clifford, Winston Craig, Virginia Messina.

"A considerable body of scientific data suggests positive relationships between vegetarian diets and risk reduction for several chronic degenerative diseases and conditions, including obesity, coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and some types of cancer. It is the position of The American Dietetic Association that vegetarian diets are healthful and nutritionally adequate when appropriately planned."

Authors: Virginia K. Messina, Kenneth I. Burke. Reviewers: Winston J. Craig, Johanna Dwyer, Suzanne Havala, D. Enette Larson, Reed Mangels, Lenore Hodges, Cyndi Reeser.

"Scientific data suggest positive relationships between a vegetarian diet and reduced risk for several chronic degenerative diseases and conditions, including obesity, coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and some types of cancer. Vegetarian diets, like all diets, need to be planned appropriately to be nutritionally adequate. It is the position of The American Dietetic Association (ADA) that appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, are nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases."

Authors: Reed Mangels, Virginia Messina, Vesanto Melina.

"It is the position of the American Dietetic Association and the Dietitians of Canada that appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases."

Authors: Winston J Craig, Reed Mangels.

"It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes."

Wikipedia articles need to be created for:

  • Winston J. Craig
  • George Eisman
  • Patricia Johnston
  • D. Enette Larson

Kenneth I. Burke, Mary Clifford, Lenore Hodges, Cyndi Reeser, Connie Metcalf, Patricia Mutch, Lydia Sonnenberg do not qualify for a Wikipedia article as there is a lack of reliable sources that mention them. Psychologist Guy (talk) 20:23, 28 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Earthling Ed (YouTube Channel)

edit

Youtube channel made by Ed Winters, have not yet found an article made for his Youtube Channel-Earthling Ed, Which I see is a notable contribution to the Vegan Community, been unable to add it in the List of vegan and plant-based media as was advised an article has to exist for it. Anyone much familiar with his Channel. can intitiate an article for it. If there is an existing draft already please advise, so that we may help contribute to its publishing to the mainspace.

Ed Winters has a draft, but nobody is working on it. I could probably complete it this year. Psychologist Guy (talk) 11:18, 12 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
Awesome ! thanks, hopefully with his books being published , hopefully would add to his WP:RS . Villkomoses (talk) 13:35, 13 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

BiteSizedVegan.org(Youtube Channel)

edit

Youtube channel made by Emily Moran Barwick, have not yet found an article made for her Youtube Channel-BiteSizedVegan.org, Which I see is a notable contribution to the Vegan Community,covers a wide range of contributions from activism to education, been unable to add it in the List of vegan and plant-based media as was advised an article has to exist for it.If there is an existing draft already please advise, so that we may help contribute to its publishing to the mainspace. Cheers! Villkomoses (talk) 21:54, 31 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

I doubt a Wikipedia article will ever be created dedicated to a YouTube channel due to lack of sourcing. I find it unlikely that Emily Moran Barwick qualifies for an article at Wikipedia per lack of WP:RS. Psychologist Guy (talk) 11:16, 12 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
That's Ok, parking it here meantime to marinate, as her contributions to vegan education and awareness is significant to the vegan community. RS will build over time. Villkomoses (talk) 13:38, 13 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
She hasn't been active on YouTube in 8 months, no new videos. Any ideas about that? I noticed a lot of vegan YouTubers are hardly active anymore. YouTube veganism was very popular around 2019-2022 but now seems to have died out. There are not many new influencers. Psychologist Guy (talk) 15:28, 13 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
Hmm, well Mic the Vegan is not new, but still very active uploading content in YouTube, and he has a good habit of backing his claims and debunks with citations. Seems he has no article too here yet? Villkomoses (talk) 15:59, 13 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
I receive emails every month from people in the vegan movement requesting to me to create articles but I don't create them because they are all modern people with very little sourcing. We have about 30 members of WP:VAV but only 4 are active (myself, Maynard, throughthemind etc). I am not really interested in living persons, as a historian 90% of the research I do is on deceased vegetarian and vegan pioneers. I did create a group sandbox but it hasn't been active. You may want to draft these articles yourself. I have my own list of 200+ historical articles to create, I am overloaded. Psychologist Guy (talk) 17:09, 13 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
It's cool, when you say "they are all modern people with very little sourcing. " do you mean they are not as mentioned by RS? or do you mean these modern vegans cite little sources for their claims?, Though I usually only do minor edits in the VAV articles(minor grammar checks, typos..) currently working on Veganism and vegetarianism in the Philippines and is still a drafts stage. More Veggie power for the Both of us and Cheers! Villkomoses (talk) 07:07, 15 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
