Talk:Avocado toast

Untitled
Sections/ Subheadings

Would it be useful to add more sub headings to better describe things like the origin and variations of this topic? It just seems like a really large block of text that could use some spacing out and refining. (Aearlim (talk) 19:56, 13 April 2017 (UTC))

Great, informative article, however tends to read as more of an essay over an encyclopedic entry. The subheading suggestion above would be useful, perhaps more use of smart paraphrasing as well over the insertion of as many quotations as there are? FocusUp1979 (talk) 03:25, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Very interesting article, however there needs to be sub-topics to discuss more in-depth information regarding the topic, as it comes off as a long summarization and less encyclopedic. Nbuend (talk) 03:33, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi, good informative article. It may be better if the content was summarized further and broken down into subcategories, and not as quotation-heavy. The lead could also summarize the article's content rather than introduce it.--Harkiret (talk) 00:18, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

There could be a sub topic of how avocado toast has become a part of pop culture. An example is Actress Gwyneth Paltrow releasing a whole cook book on Avocado Toast. here's a link: http://www.refinery29.com/2016/04/108113/gwyneth-paltrow-its-all-easy-cookbook-interview Maybeitschris (talk) 22:52, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Well yes, there could be such a sub-topic, but is it really the business of Wikipedia to have sub-topics on all of the things Paltrow develops a thing for? By all means, create a sub-topic on a Paltrow Wiki entry, and cite avocado on toast, then link that to this page.... if you have a thing for giving the woman and her bizarre books publicity, that is.93.158.36.21 (talk) 00:18, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I disagree with the extensive removals made by the prior editor, without discussion. Much of this content is sourced to high quality sources like The Washington Post and The New Yorker, and its removal had the particular problem of removing much of the context for this food's increasing popularity in the U.S.  Also, the change of a section title to "Media hyperbole" seemed to violate NPOV.  This article can surely use improvement but please let's do it through orderly discussion, not by evisceration. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:26, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Likewise describing it as "Controversy" is NPOV, as the article referenced was clearly silly banter. Broadly is not a high quality source and contained inaccurate details. 93.158.36.21 (talk) 07:29, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Salt's first article may have been tongue-in-cheek, but the resulting controversy was not. Did you read the additional sources past the first article?  --122.108.141.214 (talk) 03:54, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Unrefs
So there were three sentences that stuck out in the article when I read it. Strangely, all three were statements about times and places where this food was eaten. None cited.

Why were they in three different locations?
 * Mexico and Australia
 * Chile
 * Solihull

I think my edit was a compromise... the rest of the article is well written, looks like it is relatively well sourced (I didn't check them, just that the citations exist where they should), and I didn't want to destroy the first paragraph...  Not sure about having an unverified claim as the first sentence (after the lede). But I only wanted to make the technical changes, so I call for assistance as to what to do about that first sentence.

Is it appropriate for the first sentence to potentially violate WP:NOR ? Angryredplanet (talk) 06:22, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
