I'm all in favour of adding recepies to Wikipedia. Maybe we could have a special section reserved for it, such as Wikipedia Cookbook, with each recepie as a subpage off of it. What do you all think? Well, if we're going to have a listing for traditional irish music events, why not? Actually, I think it's a great idea, and it will generate hits. Whenever I am at a loss (forget how long to cook something, or whether it needs tarragon or rosemary) I search google for a recipe title. Always works, and more variety than my cookbook collection. --MichaelTinkler Actually, I am encouraging the Irish music crowd to start their own wiki ASAP, which I fully trust they'll do in the next few days. This is mainly but only only because current info about sessions is, frankly, not encyclopedic. By contrast, recipes are perfectly encyclopedic: they express "know how" about how to prepare food. Particularly if historical and cultural and other background is given, I think it's an excellent idea to include recipes here, because they (arguably) do fit the overall mission of creating a repository of human knowledge. In this spirit, while I don't oppose the Wikipedia Cookbook idea, I think it would be better to link (also?) the recipes from the regional cuisine pages. See cooking. --Larry Sanger |
