Template "Good article"

This page is really very well done and complete (perhaps some small details are missing). I propose the addition of the template "Good article". JackkBrown (talk) 14:55, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I am one of the main contributors to the article... :-) I won't comment on your proposal because I am a party to it. --LukeWiller (talk) 23:36, 3 December 2023 (UTC).[reply]

@LukeWiller: perhaps the subject of prosciutto (prosciutto crudo) and prosciutto cotto, and the variants of prosciutto crudo (prosciutto di Parma DOP, prosciutto di San Daniele, etc.) should be addressed more, but for everything else it seems to me to be a more than good page. JackkBrown (talk) 08:07, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@LukeWiller: update: my answer has been expanded, please read it again. JackkBrown (talk) 08:39, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@JackkBrown: Yes, thanks, I reread it. I agree with you: a paragraph in the "Basic foods" chapter describing the types of ham is needed. --LukeWiller (talk) 13:48, 4 December 2023 (UTC).[reply]

Users in favour? JacktheBrown (talk) 22:21, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OXFORD COMMA

Could someone help me insert the Oxford comma where it's needed? The page isn't short... JacktheBrown (talk) 17:39, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merger from Salumi

This page doesn't have a paragraph about salumi, very important in Italian cuisine; I think it would be a very good idea to add this paragraph. JacktheBrown (talk) 14:31, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear, are you suggesting a WP:MERGE or just adding a note about salumi to this article?--Un assiolo (talk) 16:59, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Un assiolo: WP:MERGE. JacktheBrown (talk) 17:40, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Un assiolo: alternatively, the note is also fine. JacktheBrown (talk) 17:45, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree with turning the article Salumi into a redirect (it is an encyclopedic article anyway). You can always create a new paragraph about salumi that deals with cured meats. I don't see where the problem is. --LukeWiller (talk) 17:46, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@LukeWiller: what I said. But if this isn't possible, a note about salumi to this article and the non-deletion of the salumi page is also fine in my opinion. JacktheBrown (talk) 17:50, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the term salumi to a pre-existing sentence about cured meats. If there are no objections, I will now remove the merge templates.--Un assiolo (talk) 13:54, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Un assiolo: no, it's not enough! A paragraph is necessary, salumi in Italy are very important. JacktheBrown (talk) 14:25, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the article itself only has three sentences of prose and is mostly just a list. So there isn't much to merge. I have now copied most of the prose into this article. Is that sufficient?--Un assiolo (talk) 15:21, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Un assiolo: good work! JacktheBrown (talk) 14:27, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
