To expand or not to expand? That is the question!
Some time ago, the section "Around the World" only covered a few countries and had been tagged with "Needs expansion". I took this on board, and set about expanding the article, ensuring that at least some nations from each continent were represented. As there are some 195 countries in the world today, it is difficult to know how far to take it. But apparently, according to some recent edits, it has already gone too far. I see edit summaries with phrases like "it is huge" and "sigh" which suggest that someone is not happy with the current length. So, when people get together and figure out whether the article needs to be expanded or not, do please get in touch. Until then, I am over it. BronHiggs (talk) 01:04, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Fresh-Market / Fresh Market
Hi, I hear the term "Fresh Market" banded about quite a bit w/o a clear definition. I assume a fresh market sells pretty much "fresh" goods eg. vegetables and everything a wet market does, but differs in that goods can also be sold outside? I also assume a fresh market is a type of public market (although [it seems particularly] in the US, it looks as if [several] markets that are private also have been given the label similar to that of "fresh-market"). The term might also be a British bastardisation of alfresco markets, but I find that somewhat unlikely. I checked google scholar, and the term is used quite a bit in scientific papers, but I couldn't find any papers with a clear definition of "Fresh-Market" inside worth citing (not that I looked very hard). It would be good if the term "Fresh-Market" was documented somewhere, perhaps wikipedia or wikitionary. Note that when people talk of fresh markets they may also use the term in a business-like sense eg. "This is a fresh market for our adult entertainment business", which I believe is something completely different, ie. an adjective rather than a noun. The phrase seems undocumented though as it stands, in either form. 2A00:23C5:F089:FB00:7CD4:FAD:EA44:512A (talk) 23:20, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
